    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.

    Use a guitar string or similar through the pilot jet, to make sure the passage is open.

    Gonna go against you here, Don. I'd vote for you! But not him.

    RIP Robert Redford

    He was an actor, producer, director, and created the Sundance Film Festival. Cutting a wide path through his industry. Far more than just a pretty face.

    Katman Is Back On Two Wheels

    Fantastic to hear you beat the medical issues you were facing! And sorry about getting rear ended! That would suck big time, doubly so on a brand new bike. Keep going...

    GS1000 "retromod" build questions

    Most people transplant an entire front end, and/or, swingarm. That way you don't need to worry about things like axles, wheel bearings, brakes, etc.

    GS550 with Mikuni Dual Throat Carb, No Info

    You should remove those Jet Needles, and clean everything...if you haven't already do so. Also, replace O-rings. Most of the O-rings are common with the other BS carbs, and I have a kit for those.

    GS1000 "retromod" build questions

    Evaporust works well. It's a little expensive, but it will protect the tank paint, if that's something you care about. If you don't care about the paint, use the KleenStrip stuff I linked above. Derust fully. Many times, leaks will occur during this process. If so, you need to fix them. If no...

    GS850G Won't Start, Electrical Issue, No Spark

    Maybe, maybe, this one? Looks like there will be a tariff fee, but it shouldn't be too much considering the cost. https://www.ebay.com/itm/266942749529

    GS1000 "retromod" build questions

    Agree with the dual shocks. A GS1100E aluminum swingarm is an easy install, and will save a ton of work.

    GS1000 "retromod" build questions

    Good luck with your project. If your bike came with the stock exhaust, hold on to it. Or sell. It's very similar to the exhaust used on the 1980 GS1000S, and those are very rare. Regarding cleaning the tank, there are dozens of threads about that. If the rust isn't too bad, Evaporust is...

    GS850G Won't Start, Electrical Issue, No Spark

    Is your bike an 850G or 850GL? Reason for asking, the G model has the ignition advance built into the ignitor, while the GL uses the older style ignitor with a centrifugal advance unit. The Dyna S requires a mechanical advance unit. You can retrofit one from a different bike even if you have...

    Setscrew valve adjustments

    I like shim and bucket. These bikes have greatly extended valve guide life, because there is no side load when the valve is actuated. They hold their adjustment extremely well also. Shim and bucket is very popular with auto engines for these reasons. Suzuki shims are on top of the bucket and...
