    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...

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.

    Fork Springs

    Thank GSW for sharing your knowledge and support. I gotta say this is the reason I come to this forum. you guys are knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Unlike that caf? racer forum where you're insulted, belittled ad down right disrespected. Bunch of losers over there

    engine knocking

    Thanks for the (left/right) explanation. So the knocking only occurs when the bike is started; on the left side of he engine, and only for a few short mins. once the bike is warmed up it stops. starter is fine; appears to come from somewhere as high as the plugs

    Revs off starting but then just idles.

    What I noticed on my carbs was that I could not move (or notch up) the needles. simply through experimenting different jet sizes was I able to get the bike going. and boy! does it go!!

    Revs off starting but then just idles.

    this may sound a bit strange and I'm sure i'll get blasted by the more experienced guys but my GS850 had a 4-1 exhaust, 15 pilot and 115 main jet when I purchased it long ago and it did the exact same thing. through experimentation, I learned the bike ran the absolute best with 20 pilot, 130...

    Throttle cable question

    Thx for your responses. As I stated, my control broke. its the only reason I was looking to replace it. not just for the look but because I need a right hand control. most OEM's on eBay are so old they're destined to break.

    Hello All! I have a question about my new throttle. the original GS throttle, kill switch, and start button are all connected. my unit broke and i decided to go to 2 separate units for the look (my GS is a caf? style racer). I purchased a unit for the kill/start button and a Biltwell throttle...
