    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.

It is jetted for the pods, and whatever you have for an exhaust?

2-into-1 exhaust. Jetting is close but still working on it. The carbs are from a 500E and I have a 400E so there's been a bit of work to get it feeling right. Likely a bit lean on the main still.
 
I would recommend you get it open and post some pics so all the speculation would end. Get those tools out pronto!
 
She's parked now and I'll have to wait until the weekend to open her up. I'll report back when I do!
 
Okay, as much as it hurts, I owe you all an explanation...

Sometimes strange things happen, right? There was a rag. I remember it, though can't remember how long ago it was when I last used it. Pretty oily, helped me take care of messes. All good. Well:

Open up the sprocket cover and wiring is good!

But wait a minute, what's all this crud on the inside of the case that falling out?

It's a strange feeling; Joy for your bike, disappointment in yourself.

So here it is, it's all good in there

All of this because I somehow let an oily rag get caught in the chain. Thanks for seeing me through this, I'll make sure my next question is a real problem.
 
:dancing:The surgeon who forgot and left the scalpel in the body and stitched it back up LOL don't worry, everyone has their moment of being humbled. Glad that's all it was. Hey now we know, our gs' S run even with rags in em
 
Was that a self lubing chain devise? Glad to hear that you did not toast your stator and the wiring harness..
 
And now its time to put it back together and do some plug chops to get that top end fattened up a bit.
