    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.

One more Thanks!

I posted earlier when I tore my carbs down for a badly needed dip about how all should listen and do it correctly as stated 1 million times on here. Well I synched them over the holiday and what a difference it made! The bike is still not road ready but the throttle response is incredible and smooth. I am patiently anxious to ride this thing!
GSR rocks!

Nice to hear a success story, even if you aren't riding it yet.

Now if only we could convice all the other newbies that shortcuts are really longcuts. :o

Funny the carbs went well but I noticed I misspelled my handle!

Well, ... if you insist on adding it to your posts (after all, it's already at the top, next to your avatar), just put it in a signature line.

Better yet, put your bike in your signature and your location in your profile. :o

We want to know what you ride and where you do it. :D

All right I added my location and list of rides. I will load a pic for the avatar.
 
?Shortcut is the long cut?? :confused:


But, but, but,

I?ve always thought the ?shortcut? was to pull and tear down the carburetors, dip them, replace all the o-rings including boot o-rings, possibly new boots, bench sync the carburetors, seal the air box, clean out the tank, and coat the tank if needed, and at that point go ahead and do a valve adjustment, and then vacuum sync the carburetors after dialing in the highest idle. :-s


Oh, I get it.

So the ?long cut? is more like pull the carburetors, remove the float bowls, spray one entire can of carburetor cleaner in each carburetor, put the float bowls back on, reinstall the carburetors, start up the bike, decide the bike still runs like crap and is hard to start, repeat the same carburetor cleaning two more times, then in frustration post the question on GSR to ?Why the bike has a rough idle, is hard starting, and gas is leaking out of the carburetors??, go on about already cleaning the carburetors three times, explaining that I believe the valve adjustment can wait until I get the carburetors straightened out, and have the bike running good, inevitably learning that the ?shortcut? must be done to ever have half a chance of a great running bike.. :eek:

Phewwww!!!!!

I?ll just do the ?shortcut.? Much easier. :D
