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.

    Can't get bike out of trailer

    Great thread! Glad it was something unrelated to the bike. (I'm just assuming that the screw just fell into the chain. I can't imagine it coming off the bike) Do you have pics?:)

    Red light & Unlicensed driver = Broken Bones

    http://www.amadirectlink.com/justice/index.asp You have my condolences. That's disturbing that there wasn't anyone (fellow rider?) around to look out for you. Thanks for sharing your story and keep us updated until this is just a memory. It's hard to battle the prejudices non riders have...

    newb needs help with 82 GS 650 G

    Just a suspicion: Those kinked up wires may have been a short that drained those batteries. I suspect PO wasn't a dyed-in-the-wool motorcycle maintenance guy.:shock: If you haven't,get a battery tender(1 amp trickle charger) I got mine at Harbor Freight for under $10. It has an auto shutoff...

    My mantra is "Do one thing,do it well,go on to the next thing." My anxieties get to me when I look at the total project. Keeping it one thing at a time,focusing on each step,helps. BTW congratulate yourself on each step \\:D/ RJ

    GS1000G-carb problems still

    That's what I'm thinking. Is it a rustfree fuel delivery system? Jets may be clogged with itsy-bitsy,teeny-tiny,you-need-a-magnifying-glass-to-see.pieces of rust. Or your fuel isn't getting to the carbs. A fairly easy way to eliminate gas/fuel kine as a problem is to jerry rig a temporary gas...

    GS1000G-carb problems still

    Hang in there. There are some really logical methods to determining the problem. My brotrer has a similar problem with his 75 CB360J. Fortunately for you,you're near Chicago,where there's a number of GS "experts". (I think they're favorite beverage is beer.:wink: )

    rusty tank info

    Got this from the local VJMC Chapter-What's your thoughts on this? Cleaning your Rusty Tank: The recommendation here is from Silas Clarke, because it was non-labor intensive, (I hate hard work), and it was cheap. I went to the Tractor Supply Company at 79th & L, (I went to the TSC on Irvington...
