    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.

Would you ride with a lazy slide?

As I mentioned in another post, one of my vacuum slides is "lazy" and does not open as far as the other 3. Bike seems to run good otherwise.

I really want to ride this weekend, but my new slides ($500!!!) are at least a week away.

Would you ride it the way it is? I figure that cylinder can't get too lean, simply because the slide doesn't open very far.

At least the slides have "cut outs", so they pass more than enough air at slower engine speeds.

have you tried taking the cap off and straightening the spring that has coiled up in the top?

hmmm, may have to try that.

I had to patch my old diaphragms, so that's why I ordered replacements. I know some say that have gotten away with it, but I only did it for a temporary fix. I'd feel much better with new diaphragms.

I will definetly check the spring though, thanks!
