    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.

    One Hundred and Fifty Five Feet!

    I think it is the other way around. Your rear tire is sliding on a layer of melted rubber. It should be les friction. I do not know for sure. Although when dirtbiking on ground or snow/ ice, if the rear wheel is trying to swap ends with the front, hitting the front brake is a good way to fall.

    Mysterious Electrical Condition 82 GS1100G

    Yes I think the above poster is right. One bike I had did something similiar and came down to the basics. Poor grounds and corroded connections. I have only experienced 2 bad RR's and both times the voltage went high not low. Although others could have had different experiences. Chris
