    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

Yeah I thought of bragging about my plugs too but didn't want to lower myself to that level.:-s :-s

Oh yeah, 40,700 miles, 2 years old plugs and still beautiful....\\:D/

Oh yeah? I've got plugs that look just like that, and they're out of a 1980 GS 1000G, my current ride.

Oh yeah, and another set that look like that out of a 1979 GS1000L, a back-up ride.

Oh yeah, and yet another set that look like that out of a 1983 GS 850G, yet another back-up ride.

Geez ... I guess I'm the one bragging now!!!

PS: I couldn't have plugs that look like that without the valuable help from guys like Keith Krause, Earle Fornes, Brian Wringer, etc. and many others on the GSR.
 
Oh geez... you guys...

Actually, I never think my bike is perfect. I think I have a problem. The tank comes off probably 3-5 times a week even though it runs quite well. I'm gonna ask some of you guys to give it a rip this summer and see what you think, but I've determined that I am sick. Or bored. Dunno...

If anyone has followed my "Carbon fouling problem" thread, I did a bunch of stuff putting the bike back to stock. The only issue I had is a little slight burble or hesitation just off the line. I recently posted in that thread that the hesitation is gone, but it still is slightly there.

The plugs look to me like they are a little glazed. Color has a little reddish hue. Those plugs have about 400 miles on them, and they have almost no carbon on the firing end or insulator. Only some black carbon on the inside of the thread casing. I can still smell a fairly strong fuel smell at idle. Not as bad as it's been, but still. And the hesitation is still present. Maybe it's a lean problem?

When you guys choke your bike, after it's warm, what does it do? Do the revs go smoothly up, or does it sputter and run rough?
