    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.

    Weak springs on Governor Assembly / Spark advance

    The diagnosis seems really reasonable, but what else could it be? Hanging idle is fairly common but don't remember weak springs on advancer being the fix... Don't remember what else the fix may be...

    Decal GS1000 HC 1978

    Sorry, nothing like that in our part of the world... Would like to see yall's complete paint job for "78" GS1000, it seems we always got the worst color schemes over here... Heck we never even got a "Red & White" GS1000S.

    Warped sprocket?

    Aligned properly and messed up, then misaligned and all is good??? Pretty odd, wouldn't you think? Would think tight spot in chain, but misaligning the wheel wouldn't fix that... I have no clue but hope we learn what's happening.

    Fuel Petcock interchangability for a 1983 GS1100E?

    I'm more of a fan of the GS petcocks than most, yes may need refreshing every 10 or 15 yrs., but seems not a lot to ask. Rob, remember, on yours, ON is actually OFF when eng. not running. If not working as it's designed to do, your tank should have way less than a half tank by now. Also any...

    1985 Kawasaki GPz750 needs refresh

    I'd like it a lot better if had the old roller bearing crankshaft, it would have probably negated much of your headaches and expense... Congrats, Great to hear she's sorted and up and going again in less than a year... Now, What's next???

    Fuel Petcock interchangability for a 1983 GS1100E?

    82 GS1100GL needs one???? Is it something a simple rebuild won't fix... I've not had any problems rebuilding them but have read where folks have had problems rebuilding them, but these things are so simple and very few things that can make them not work.

    82’ GS850g hole in piston help

    Didn't realize eng. was completely apart... What caused the hole in the piston? Heat or did a valve poke a hole in it? Any visible damage to the cyl. wall on # 2?

    Kawasaki Eliminator (451cc) - anyone with experience?

    No clue about 450 Eliminator but riding the wife's 600 eliminator seems like getting off an adult bike and getting on a child's bike. Both the wgt. plus the much lower center of gravity really makes it seem small... Well, it is a lot smaller than my other bikes.

    reserve at 1/2 tank?

    Just think, before 1980 we never had a fuel gauge problem on a bike, nor had any problems running out of gas... We just used the res. to know had appx. 40 mi. till empty, so it was time to fuel up.

    Pic of the week game

    Just say'in, on my puter, in Rich's recap when I got to skull & marv there was just a blank area that said click to expand. When clicked that a bunch of numbers came up, but couldn't click on them... Found if clicked in their names, at top left it would take me straight to where they originally...

    Heck, as many bikes as trevor seems to have had, each time I see any bike, I just figure at some point trevor probably owned it... Congrats to him, must be nice.
