    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.

I love this bike it's pretty awesome but I'm having some trouble keeping it started. Also when i do have it started when i disengage the clutch the wheel still turns pretty rapidly on the center stand is this normal?? I know that it will have some movement but it doesn't appear to slow when I squeeze that clutch in. I haven't ridden it for this reason and I would like to know what the cause might be. Sorry if this isn't the right thread I'm new to this site. actually this is my first post!

thanks for any info guys I appreciate it.
 
Welcome to the GSR

Welcome to the GSR

You may want to try the carb/fuel/exhaust section for help on your starting issues. It also sounds like the rear wheel spinning is a clutch or drivetrain issue. Your best bet for help on that would be the engine/drivetrain/clutch section.

Most of the issues you are dealing with have probably already been discussed somewhere on the board. You can use the advanced search function to read up on several possible solutions before you post questions.

If you can't find anything using the search, then be specific as to the symptoms and any additional info on the problem so that the rest of the members can give you the best pertinent advice.
