    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.

If you're that superstitious you better go out and buy new tires and suspension ;).
 
Fork air pressure

Fork air pressure

How much air are people keeping in the forks of their '82 GS1100e's? Mine came back from seal replacement bottoming out. They fixed that by pumping them up to "upper twenties."

My Haynes says 7.11 psi standard, up to a max of 35 psi. If it's bottoming out with standard air, does that mean it needs new springs? A friend says they should have recommended new springs when they did the seals. (It wouldn't pass inspection without new seals.)
 
NO air?

NO air?

NO air, not even the 7.11 psi minimum?

I'm at least the third owner (just got it), and if I had to guess, I'd guess that it has the original (1982, 24,000 miles) springs.

Can anybody recommend fork springs (1982 GS 1100e)? Suzuki replacement vs. aftermarket?
