    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.

Just bought my first bike, an 82 GS650GL that's in desperate need of some TLC. 17K miles on it. Having some issues starting it up and getting it to idle without the choke staying on, and apparently is running pretty rich according to my dad. Just took it out and around the other day and pretty sure the battery died on me. Realized the bike needs some serious work before I can begin riding it all over town, and I've got some serious learning to do. If there's anyone in the Akron, Ohio area that would appreciate taking a young whipper snapper under their wing and lending a hand every now and again as I fix this thing up, I'd GREATLY appreciate it! I don't have the mechanical know how to tackle this thing all alone. Really glad I found this forum and am looking forward to reviving my bike and keeping it's legacy going.

Congrats on your bike! I would definitely recommend checking the date codes on those tires. I think it's been quite awhile since Dunlop made that particular model.
