    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Frustrated and considering selling GS650G - kinda long

There's a big group of riders not that far from you... haul it along to one of the "rallies" and they'll no doubt help you get it fixed in the off time.

That has been done before. More than once. :-\\\

I tend to bring a toolbox (Mrs. Steve trailers her bike over there so we can bring other "stuff", too) and my sync gauges, so come on by. :encouragement:

It's only 175 miles to Bedford, IN, we will be there Father's Day weekend this year.

Sounds like you haven't ridden it yet. Before messing with any adjustments, I suggest taking it out for at least a 10 mile ride, see how it runs, and then check the plugs again and see how they look, and go from there. There is a thread on this site that explains the appropriate way to do plug chops and how to read, however, if you still have fouled plugs after riding around for a bit, it would be safe to say something isn't adjusted right, or you are getting little to no spark on the offending plugs.

yes, now that you are running, ride the bike around a bit...The soot you can wipe off with a rag if you like- the rest will take care of itself on a ride..not too far at first-round the block, then round two blocks, then up to the main street where you can go at normal speed etc, etc. 10 or 15 minutes and home again... I wouldn't get too involved in the tuning YET if the bike is idling nice and not smoking rich when you get back. Then before your next ride, get some kind of Fan to help keep the bike cooler before you set it up on the centre stand and commence tweaking after another ride. You really don't want to be stripping everything down yet if the bike is running "pretty well". Not in riding season and not without a serious symptom that can't be figured with just the tank off.
 
Good news everyone, since I got her running the first time she has consistently fired right up when cold and idles perfect!
I'm excited to get back on the road.
Thanks for all the help.
 
good news! That's waay better than your sad original post. Good thing you "reached out" ;) or one of us would have got a great deal showing up for your craigslist ad
