    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.

My 1150 clean up/rebuild

I brought it around to show the PO of the bike today. He was happy/sad to see it. Just in time to as he is moving to Alberta on Saturday. He said he was "glad to know it was back on the road and in good hands". He was glad I stopped around because he lost my contact info and he wanted to give me the fork seals that he found. Good thing too as I was about to order new ones. ;D
 
Looks great! I forget, did you get the lower fairing with it?

Hey all Trevor and I went at the bike for a bit today and had a dilemma. During the vacuum synch I couldn't get any vacuum on #3, actually all four cylinders were not registering much vacuum on the carbtune. I did a bench synch and had things relatively close, she'd start right up and idled not too bad really. It didn't seem to matter how much I adjusted the carbs I couldn't get much vacuum to register and none on #3. My first thought is there is something not right under the valve cover. The PO put new rings and seals on the bike but never had it running since that work, not right anyways so I'm figuring there could easily be something not right under there, or at least it needs a valve adjustment. I can't think of another reason why the vacuum wouldn't register properly, anyone else have some ideas?
