    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.

  • In order to help others find info on a particular bike, be sure to put the year, make or model of bike that you are asking a question about, in the Topic Title. This will allow people to pass by posts they have no interest in.

Customer brought me a 97 GSX 750F Katana with an oil leak and something wrong with the side stand switch. After a good degreasing and wiping of all the gasket contact surfaces around the valve cover gasket, the oil line banjos, etc etc. Couldnt get any new weeping from any of the topside gaskets but there were a few new oil pearls down below where the oil lines and the oil filter all converge.

So to get all the oil wipes off the area i decide it best to remove the oil filter, wipe the area down with rags, restart the bike and watch with my flash light. There was absolutely NO resistance when going to take the filter off. It was loose already!! Bingo...wipe the area off, wipe the oil filter oring off and reinstall filter. No more leaks.

Its one of those thing someone wouldnt assume a problem...usually that is. Side stand switch is toast so a new ones been ordered.
 
I had that happen on a car. Took it in for an oil change, could smell oil burning all the way home. Took it back and the mechanic discovered he'd only put the filter on hand tight, and it was spraying oil on the exhaust pipe.
