    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.

Hello. Hope im in the right area for a newb.
From canada. 82 gs 850 gl. 36,000 km.
Beautiful bike. My Age 53 but act like 23.
I do however have a question. Valve set is within spec.
But still have seems like valve train noise. But after reading some posts, more like
Clutch noise. Poster left a test to do to verify. So, i will do test at some point to verify.
And report back. I had no idea there were so many gs owners out there.
Glad to be a part of your community !
Thanks in advance for any tips. Al
 
Hi, sevenupman!

Everyone likes to see your bike! GS850s are very popular here! and posting pictures on the forum is a good skill anyways down the road. and I hope you found BassCliff's welcome at the top of this GSOwners section...

Must go: here BikeCliff's Website


bike noises are hard...seems like a clutch noise will change pulling the clutch in and out? while "valve train noise", well,not so much.... the simplest fixes are a valve adjustment check or just maybe it's the "camwalk" rapping that comes up occasionally.Today for instance: http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/showthread.php?240997-Cam-walk-options&p=2304306#post2304306 ...It seems to be limited to shim-type valves which you have....
 
Thanks. I will post pics as soon as i can. Replacing cedar siding on my house at the moment..lots of prep involved even before it gets on the wall.
Hows life your way ? Doin lots of ridin ?
 
has been good this year, sevenupman- rode all year out here -sure, last weeks were kind of cool and wet but weather's on the upswing again.
....I hear it's not been so great on the plains?
