    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.

I'm trying to run a compression test/swap the plugs on my 1984 GS1150EF, but I can't get the damn plugs out. the 13/16 is too big.

Anyone know what size this should be? I'm thinking 16mm (as the 17mm deep I have is too big as well).

Also -- anybody know what kind plugs and oil filter this bike should take? -- -if I have to go get a new socket, might as well pick up new plugs and oil filter while I'm there.

cheers.

Don't know about your bike in particular, but another common size for plug wrenches is 5/8", which translates to about 15.8 mm. I am sure that a 16 mm socket should fit, but try to use a 6-point socket instead of a 12-point.
