    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.

    Front Fork Springs

    Hello again all, I’ve finally got my 1979 gs850g properly running thanks to you guys and it’s a blast. But as previous pictures of my bike show, I have little over an inch of fork travel and it’s definitely fear inducing and time to fix that. Due to the air valves being broken and not being able...

    Unfortunately, another pod post

    I love this forum, thanks for all the knowledge and help. The air corrector is a smart fix, I’ll be trying that as well as stepping up the main. And as for how do I ride with my lack of front suspension, the answer is I don't! I just bought new schrader valves and seals as the previous owner...

    1979 GS850g carb help Ive been messing with this bike for some time now, I bought it sitting for a year and the previous owner started converting it into a cafe racer, he was never able to get the bike tuned for power and I’m sure it’s because of the UNI pods installed. After cleaning the...

    Unknown hole in block 1979 gs850g
