    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.

GS650G all welded joints except 1... Is this normal?

We are assembling the GS650G and got to the exhaust. The exhaust is completely welded together except for the right side muffler.

When I bolt the exhaust on the bike it looks like the #4 head pipe is contacting the right downtube under the ignition cover. I can't seem to get the rear mounting point to line up.

My experience with the older bikes is there were 2-3 clamps. 1 for left to right sides at the 2-3 crossover and clamps on each muffler section.

Thank you.

Sounds like somebody slipped on a muffler at some stage.


EDIT: stock it should have welded mufflers, and a clamped-in "H"-pipe, so three clamps total.

Are you saying that the only clamp in the system is holding on the RH muffler?

Gorminrider: The fiche is exactly what I'm used to seeing.

I have a gs700e pipe which pulls the center 2 head pipes.

We pulled the PO's header wrap, loosened up the brackets on pipe and bike and with a little prying were able to get bolts lined up. The right tube is thousands close to the header pipe.
