    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.

Replaced fork seals

Decided to replace my leaking fork seals on the GS850 today. Found the easiest way to pull the old seal out was to take a propane torch to the seal and then use a screwdriver to pop it out. Both seals came out without any issues at all. I feel it's the easiest way to get them out. Just wanted to share and let those that have reported issues getting them out using other ways.

On a plus note, the bike rides MUCH better now that everything is back in working order. The only issue I had was I broke the air inlet on one fork by being a little aggressive when sealing the cap.

So, now I'm needing a replacement. Stock replacement is going for around $13.00.:eek: Luckily I had one on the project GS1000 that I could borrow so I'm not without a ride.
