    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.

    Opinions Please

    How do they affect the ride? I know this is the "Appearence" place,but I'm too big a fan of function not to be biased towards that.:oops: (At first glance the first one looks "more correct". The second one could grow on me) Try em both for three months and then decide. That's the luxury of...

    tire for beginner/city use

    Uh-oh Bentrod,now you've done it. Why don't you ask which is better,dinosaur oil or synthetic? This subject could get you thousands of honest opinions,each a little different.:-D My two cents? I don't like the Chen Win "Marquis". Anything else is OK. Just make sure it's not old stock,and been...

    D 404 tires ????

    I have this tire on the front of my 650L. After 2000 miles I have complete confidence in it. Not much wear and what is, is even. I think it's a great value but I'm not aggressive enough to tout it to our more spirited riders. I was going to put a d404 on the back but when I went to make sure it...

    Knowledge needed on 81 650 GL

    Thanks rick. My thing is I want to seal my air box better. Where the clip attaches the cover is screwed up,sorta cross threaded and can come loose on the bottom. I know when it comes loose 'cause my idle jumps a bit.:-D I had heard of drilling the airbox when you're in high altitude to make up...

    Knowledge needed on 81 650 GL

    I was reading A KEITH KRAUSE post on a 650e question on header and pod carb changes. My airbox cover is a pita to get the clips on(the cover part where the clip attaches is screwed up . The space in general is super tight and I thought this would free up space also. After reading Keith's post I...

    Would these work instead of the air box? If so,would carburation need to be changed? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/suzuki-gs650-80-85-chrome-air-filter-set-of-4-54mm-nip_W0QQitemZ320049992407QQihZ011QQcategoryZ35597QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

    Just a thought. Since you're messing with the petcock,do you have more than the reserve amount left in the tank? (I always hope it's the simplist thing):-D

    Motorcycle etiquette

    I'd bet that was it exactly. Guy bought a bike. Nobody that knows him want's to ride with him(being a new rider and socially clumsy.) Poor guy probably just wants to be one of the guys. Being as there's all kinds of people who ride,he is.:-D Hopefully he'll be safe until he learns some...
