    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 all. I just purchased my 3rd bike. A 1980 GS550E. The frame says 1979 but title says 1980 via VIN#. Anyways, the bike needs some tlc but runs good for the most part. Since the weather is nice I don't want a huge project so I figured I'd try to run sea foam through the vacuum line to do a cleaning. I've used it on my cars and it works great. I've never used it on a motorcycle before so I'm a little hesitant. I don't have a manual so not sure where the line is that needs to draw it in. I plan on a complete carb cleaning and possible jet later on this year. For now, just sea foam. Any help would be appreciated.
 
just pour it into the gas tank.......and run the bike.....that's all I did.....

Good looking bike. Don't run anything through a sync port. What you want to do, is add 2-3 ounces into a full tank of fuel and run it through. A second dose would be good, as well.
 
It seems to want to die when pulling in clutch when I need to stop. Unless I keep some throttle on it which is kind of hard to do when braking. Like I said it needs a little tuning. I will pour your recommended amount in gas tank. I'm sure things are a little gunked up. Thanks everyone. I'm planning on a semi-cafe project this winter. Very excited I found this forum.
