    A note to old forum members...

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.

  • 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.

    New GS owner, 79 Terry Vance GS1000

    I remember one of these coming up on ebay a few years back that belonged to a lady she was getting rid of it, it had very few miles and I thought was near mint with all the papers and books, that I think I read was a competition giveaway. The early clutch baskets used to be weak, I had one that...

    GS450 starter turns immediately when connected

    Have you disconnected at the relay itself? I think is a yellow wire with a red trace? Yes the relay could get stuck but it's unlikely.

    Very nice progress, just a thought, might it be worth putting some drain holes into your trays?

    Finally a Cooley

    I have found some later Katana ones though they fit on the handle bars fit the look really ok, I keep the original ones for when the bike is posing. (Like this), (Utterly without scruples me, shameless.. On the Suzuki stand at the Birmingham NEC last year :biggrin: ) The originals were/are a...

    Putting Cylinders on Pistons - Oil or No Oil?

    Loads of oil, start up check no leaks and ride the arse off it change the oil after fifty miles and ride it normally, the theory is that it is the first few miles beds the rings in and makes the best matching, bearings just go round and round so nothing to see there.

    I read somewhere that the locals used to put masks of faces on the backs of their heads while they were working, apparently it spooked and threw the would be attacking tigers as they stalk from behind. I think you put that photo up before?

    Stator, The GSR travelling mascot.

    Thanks and you're welcome, my advice is don't hesitate much longer the tourist industry is depressed at the moment and so there are some cracking deals to be had. KWS have just reduced the park fees and the cost of a visa also fell when I arrived this time as an effort to encourage visitors. Too...

    First I've heard of it, I have no idea if the British or its even possible to move a tribe let alone a smelly feisty bunch like the Maasai. Tsavo means 'Place of death' in the Akamba language and it refers to the area where the game park is now.

    Thanks, I'm glad you like it, I used to go Safari for a month or two at a time but stopping in the game parks like in the old days is not possible anymore.

    Stator, The GSR travelling mascot.

    Lots of guns and bad guys in Tanzania. Yes long rains just around the corner, there has been some rain there already. Tsavo does mean 'place of death' or as google tells me 'Slaughter' I think it should translate as 'Place of slaughter' but the last bit I'm only guessing. There are no Maasai in...
