    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.

Which Clymer Manual

I need a clymer/shop manual for an 83 GS850L. I don't see that option listed on the manuals I have found only GL. Close enough?
 
No - GLs are shaft driven, not chain. Most Clymer manuals are set up for a series of related bikes, so my guess would be that there is a manual that covers several models, including yours. No doubt someone here will have that info!

The 850L is also shaft driven. But I think its a four stroke not 2...

Ok then it's an 850GL - G is always the designation for shaft drive with Zooks, so you'll be fine with that manual for the G series. It's definitely a 4-stroke!
 
Also it's the same Clymer I have "GS850-1100 Shaft Drive 1979-1984" ISBN 0-89287-305-1and it includes all the differences Ls have.
 
No problem. I think I got mine from Amazon from an independent seller, so you could go there and search by plugging in the ISBN. The price was around the same as ebay sellers and I hate waiting for auctions!

I already grabbed one off eBay with BIN once you confirmed it was the right one :) I am so stoked. We are in the process of moving so I am trying really hard to resist the urge to start tearing this thing down :)
 
Awesome! I've been stuck with resisting the urge daily because it's so cold here. You can still do some little things like clean up wiring and stuff until you're ready to rip her apart! Keep us posted on the progress, and we love pics here too! :-D
