    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.

    Runs well but plugs are sooty black. Why? (GS1000 G)

    I use B7es plugs. Tried one range hotter to maybe burn of the soot. I will check the float height. Will a too low float level make the bike run rich through the whole rev range?

    Runs well but plugs are sooty black. Why? (GS1000 G)

    The bike is running rich. Why do you want me to go larger on the main jets and lift the needles that will make it richer??

    Runs well but plugs are sooty black. Why? (GS1000 G)

    I bought the bike 3 weeks ago. The bike shop gave it a service last week. They did not clean the carbs or did any tuning. I am from South Africa. The bike has got 4 into 1 pipes and stock airbox. When I turn the pilot screws 0,5 turn in, the bike starts to stumble when accelerating.
