    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.

I went to clean the carbs on my 82 GS 1100 L and found the intake boots cracked and crumbling. When I go to replace these boots can I use used boots off a bike on here? (Anyone have a set they want to sell?) I am not sure if the boots need to be new to make sure they dont leak air ect? Thanks for your help!
 
Hi,

I know new boots can be a little pricey, about $20-$25 each depending on the vendor, but they will last another 25 years and make getting the carbs on and off soooo much easier. Order new clamps with the new boots as well as intake boot O-rings, if applicable. You won't regret it. I encourage you to fix it right the first time, then you'll never have to worry about it again.

Sure, you can get used boots. But I wouldn't want anyone else to use the old boots I took off of my bike.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
