    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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

I would like to thank everyone who has posted questions on this forum thereby saving me from doing the same and repeating the same things again. I have been able to solve a seemingly unsolvable problem through thorough research of previous posts and most importantly with the use of BikeCliffs amazing website and links. After spending a bunch of money on having my carbs rebuilt, I discovered that not all experts are detail orientated. I folled the detailed instructions available here and the old girl runs as good as new. Simply amazing. I am no longer afraid to remove and disassemble/reassemble my carbs. Again, thanks to everyone who posts here. My bike is a 1981 GS550T with 16000 miles and sat in storage since 1996. I am now into this "free" bike around 500 bucks and just tickled with it.
 
I feel the same way,first gs and had other bikes and looked at other forum the advice and know how from gs resourse is second to none I have seen it has help me a lot not only on gs but other bikes as well

Learning from other peoples adventures.........Priceless ! :)

Welcome, and stick around. Share your own adventures so we can all learn from them.
 
I wasn't clear on how to post my pics, so it seems to be in "my albums". I was hoping to have them on my posts but there it is. Thanks for the welcome although I have been a lurker for some time. The knowledge and insights through others trial and error are truly a time and money saver. I am a devoted member of this website and truly am gratefull for all who chose to help out others with thier stories,tech and common sense advice. I owned my first GS before the internet was invented and really wish I had it now. It was a GS1100 with bags,trunk,boards,lights and you name it. Made my neighbors Goldwing look a a kids imitatation of a road bike. If I had access to the info here I would have it still. My GS550 is alive and well today thanks to ALL of you who have asked the questions and done the work. If I can help someone else in some small way,I would be honored. Who rebuilt my carbs answer: A friend who has years of mechanical experience with bikes of all kinds. Builds alchol burning snomobiles (sleds) for a sideline and obviously can make mistakes. Damn!
