    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Dyna S for GS1000 timing question

Step two of the timing procedure as written by Dynatek states:

"While holding the rotor in the fully advanced position slowly rotate engine forward until the test light turns on. The right hand advance mark for cylinders 1-4 should align with the fixed mark on the engine case."

Squint as I might, I cannot find a fixed mark on the engine case. Can anyone tell me where to find what I'm not seeing?

Thanks,

Jack
 
On some GS's, previous owners have removed the "fixed" timing plate on the engine case. The "fixed" mark on the engine case is the left edge of the bolt head located at the 12 o'clock position on the breaker plate. The breaker plate has three hold down machine screws/bolts that are located at 4, 8 and 12 o'clock.

Thanks for the info. Sure enough, while going through the Zip-loc bags with parts I've taken from the bike I found the old Gerex ignition plate and beneath it a shortened version of the stock timing plate.

Next up, valve clearances. The original owner of my bike, the one who took it to RC Engineering for the Stage Two modification, told me the clearances were .004-.006 in., considerably wider than the stock .001-.003.

Now, Bad Billy B, I know you were a drag racer. Do these numbers sound right to you?

Thanks,

Jack
