    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...

    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.

Hello forum, I Have a 1980 gs850g/t which i have just put back on the road (it was laid up since 2008, last owner), any went to check the front fork oil expecting air shocks only to find none air shocks and a pre load adjustment screw . has anyone any idea whether or not they are genuine gs850g/t forks. All other features on the forks look like gs850 kit. Any info on these forks would be great.
 
We're gonna need a picture. The GSR Hive Mind is nearly omniscient, but it is not yet clairvoyant.

And some indication of what country you're in might help.
 
Hello thank,s for the reply ..... the front forks are 37mm and the spring length is 480mm.. have been told there off a gsx1100.Question how much oil and what grade, I live on the Isle of Wight Which is part of the uk .I need a good suspension to cope with the islands crap roads, it has to be forgiving otherwise the strain on the old wrists is to much .The rear is fine, the front is to stiff not much sag when i sit on the bike. When riding the front end fights back especially when there is more than one bump or dip in road in close proximity. Even under hard braking the rdoes not dip greatly..Any info on spring rates etc etc would be great.Only had the bike on the road for four days and it is going really well .... Derk
