    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...

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.

GS1100GK fork damper rod

Hello,

It took me a few attempts to remove the fork damper rod bolt on my 1982 GS1100GK.

I had to remove the damper rod because there was a slow oil leak coming from the damper rod bolt. It turned out there was no washer under the bolt, oh well!

After cleaning the damper rod I noticed that towards the bottom of the damper rod, right before the threaded part for the bolt begins, the edges are irregular:

Is this an issue or can I ignore this?

Thank you in advance for your insights.
