    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.

    Main air jet and pilot air jet Mikuni BS34SS 49150 on 81 gs1000gx

    '81 gs1000g starter clutch compatability

    Thank you. Did not know about the alpha sports site. I plugged in the roller part number and that narrowed it further. Ideally the O.D. of the boss on the starter gear that goes into the starter clutch would be listed. That would seem to be the deciding factor in compatibility. Thanks everyone...

    '81 gs1000g starter clutch compatability

    Thank you. That is the kind of information I am looking for. The part numbers in the manual and various part sites give the number as the assy. The one way bearing does not have it's own number. So it is possible for that part to be the same on different assy's with different numbers. I solved...
