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.

    Question: Preferred Shift Lever Position

    Surprised no one has mentioned GP shift or 'race shift' (1 up, 5 down). Personally, I prefer a foot pedal for the clutch, and a stick shift for the gears. In 1968, that configuration worked fine in the Corvette and the Camaro, so why reinvent the wheel? There used to be a saying, "What’s good...

    I like this man. The good old days! IIRC, only the loser of the race ever got a ticket! 😁

    Canadian women - wow! Maybe our leaders should consider looking north of the border. Cause they can't seem to find themselves American wives! 😁

    "aggressive snapping open of the throttle at any rpms (will) induce bogging no matter how perfect the jetting is.." I disagree. My mechanic, using Dynojet jets and his dynamometer, said it only took him a few tries, and then instant starting (with choke of course), beautiful idling and (very)...

    1981 Suzuki GS850GL – bogging/stuttering under load

    Something you said caught my eye: when run at higher rpm plugs eventually 'clear.' Sounds like a review of a Contach or some such Italian super car decades ago. They fired it up, it smoked and ran like shyte, so they called the owner. "That's normal," he told them. "The plugs are just fouled...

    Would you possibly have a "new" identity for me, maybe a barn I could use as a mailing address? I heard those Canadians are coming for everyone and every thing north of the Mason-Dixon.

    Happy Canada Day!

    Happy Canada Day, neighbors! Here's a thought: instead of becoming our 51st State, why don't we become your 11th Province? Or maybe just a trial as your 4th Territory, to see how everyone likes it? What about you Americans south of the Mason-Dixon line? Or do I hear rounds being chambered into...

    I think that's past ooops to "ouch!" Is there something wrong with that valve? It might need 'valve lapping.' But don't start with the most abrasive compounds. Easy does it works every time.

    Kz1000 carbs on gs1000 engine.

    When I switched from standard air box on my 1982 GS1100E to APE pods, it wouldn't run well until about 90% of the pods were covered with electrical tape. V&H "Street Megaphone" was already on. Using Dynojet jets (and his dynamometer), my mechanic was able to get it perfect. 1. Dynojet jets are...

    That'll buff out. (Use rubbing compound, not polishing compound. 🙄)

    What's up with tires?

    For years, Bridgestone Battleaxes were the choice of Cycle World when they wanted to compare Super Bikes on identical rubber. Not a bad endorsement in my book. I didn't go with them on my 1982 motorcycle because they weren't designed for use with tubes.
