    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.

Here's something new! I just finished adding a Windjammer SS fairing to my 1100GZ. To attach the fairing to the bracket, I had to unbolt the tank and slide it back a couple of inches. After the weekend, I went to start the bike and when I pressed the starter button, the bike turns over real fast but no fire in the hole! This is with the choke open and not applying any throttle at the grip. Could I have damaged a fuel line or something? After a long while, the bike begins to quietly burp and then finally after about 5 minutes it fires up. What gives?

I'd try the pulse line that goes to the petcock,, it either was flooded from the tank moving or it unhooked,, is it starting normally now? 8O

Won't start right away

I had thought of the pulse line but haven't had a chance to check it out. Of course this now happens when I have the lower fairings in place and they cover everything under the tank up... I'll be removing them AGAIN to see what I screwed up. But the problem is sporatic... Sometime, the bike fires right up, then other times, it just cranks over. I think, I can smell gas so I am also wondering if it is an electrical problem. I did have one of the colis replaced last week...

Problem solved!

Problem solved!

I'm so proud of myself! I checked under the tank and sure enough, there was a split in the end of the vacuum line leading to the petcock! I clipped the end off and reconnected the line. the bike fired right up! Thanks for the tip!
GY :P
