    A note to old forum members...
    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

Fork seals GS850

Had to replace a weeping fork seal on the bike last week, strange as the PO had informed me he had replaced them about 6 yrs ago, bear in mind it's covered less than 2K since they were fitted:confused:

Turns out I'm glad I needed to change it, previously I had tried to change the setting using the adjuster but it just felt wrong, like it did nothing when I tried to turn it, what I discovered when stripping them down the PO had put the top piston the wrong way round :confused: this caused the end of the adjuster to sit in a deep recess, no wonder it felt wrong, now reassembled and fitted back on the bike we have adjustable forks :) will see what difference it makes on the next outing.
 
I'm always a little sad that we here in the colonies were not entrusted with preload adjusters on our GS850 forks. :(
