    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.

GS450 sticks in gear

With the engine running its almost impossible to shift gears, it goes from neutral to first or 2nd fine, but once there unless I'm moving or I shut the engine off I can not shift.I adjusted the clutch according to the gs manual but still not working. Any thoughts.
 
Not sure I understand your concern. In general, the transmission will not shift through the gears unless the bike is moving - the engagement dogs need to align together before it will shift. Do you have a shifting problem while the bike is moving? While riding the bike it's always best to downshift as you are nearing a stop. If you forget to reach first before stopping, let the clutch out a little at a stop while pressing the shift lever and the transmission should clunk into the next lower gear.

Hope this helps.
 
Might want to verify the quality of your oil as well. My wife's bike shifts so much easier now that gas isn't leaking into the crankcase. (razzle frazzle petcocks)
