    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.

gs1100e starting problems

For the past two months I've been battling with my gs1100 trying to get it to start. It's been to the shop three times now, and everytime it's coming back and breaking again. My mechanic has no idea what's going on with it, so I'm hoping that someone here has had a similar experience and can guide me in the right direction, this time I'm fixing it myself. The starter spins freely, but will not engage with the starter clutch to crank the engine. Yesterday I bump started the bike because this was happening in the grocery store parking lot. As I rode home, the bike would grind horrifically when shifting, particularly downshifting, and as I got home, it was an almost constant grinding. When I got into my garage, it took me about 5 minutes to get it into neutral. I'm quite lost on what's going on, and have unfortunately given up on this bike. Once this issue is fixed, it's going to hit the classifieds. Thanks for any information, it's greatly appreciated.

If the nut on the end of the crank spun loose you may have turned that crank into a football bat. Take the left side cover off and take a look. Hope for the best.....
