    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.

    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.

    Valve cover gasket removal...

    Well, I tried the toilet bowl cleaner & it worked surprisingly well. I wouldn't recommend using it on the cyl. head side thou (unless you have the head off the bike) because of having to rinse the cleaner off with water. But on the valve cover side it worked pretty well for me. Thanks for this...

    Was wondering if anyone else has noticed their carb intake boots "pulsating" when motor is idling? What i mean by pulsating is kind of like there "expanding & contracting" just slightly when bike is idling & was just wondering if this is "normal" or does it suggest something is wrong? The bike...
