    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.

Thanks to all that helped me out

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone that helped me with this Compufire conversion, even the ones that laughed at me. I rebuilt the carbs that were a disaster, swapped the Compufire in soldering all the connections and adding extra grounds, adjusted the valves and it fired in about 1/8 of a turn and sounds like jack the bear. Battery is charging, no smoke signals. I swapped it from pods back to the stock airbox & rejetted it like my GS1100. I measured the cam and was told it was a stock one but it sure don't sound like one out the Bassani pipe. Thanks guys, great forum, Sorry if I was a PIA but this is my first venture into 4 valve Suzukis, Ive always run Kawasakis before that never have charging problems

I think of it like that old commercial "you can pay me now or pay me later. the GS gods".
 
Posplayr, your posts on the Compufire were the biggest help of all, I want to especially thank you for all the stuff you posted about it. Yes, I learned a lot which is why I like to do it to start with. When you live in Montana and your bike isn't new you learn how to fix it. Your posts were the reason I did it to start with

Thank you, glad the bike is getting back on the road. In that back county there are no mechanics.
 
Nope, dealerships wont touch them at any price. I doubt the kids they have working there would know even 1/10th of what I do. I find the help I need on this forum, you guys are great. Im retired and cant afford to pay anyone to work on them and I enjoy learning
