    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.

Red line on GS1000S

I spotted something the other night while trawling Ebay and checked up on some photos of S rev counters. Some red lines are marked at 8500 rpm and some at 9000 rpm. The S rev counter is unique (as far as I know) to the S.

What red line have you S owners got and is it a SN / ST or US / ROW / Europe thing?
 
My US spec ST has an 8500 rpm tach but then again it had a 140 mph speedometer on it when I bought it which I know is wrong (should be 85 mph).

I got 5/6 revcounters they are all 8500rpm or 9000rpm I thought 9500rpm one were of a ST model.
 
OK my 550 has the 9500 rev limit. The engine in general spins faster for any given speed than the larger bikes.
