    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.

    Super Low MPG

    mattd1205 - Yeah I'm gonna spin them back out a little. I think maybe I was mislead from the previous owner having richened it up to compensate for a few little air leaks? We'll see if that helps. I've never heard of a colortune but they're cheap enough. I'll pick one up and see what that does...

    Super Low MPG

    Oh man y'all're the best and I want to respond to everyone but don't want to do individual quote responses. For my highway number - that's off one trip but it was all highway. One full tank. The 20-ish number is off a thousand miles of riding or so, and it's hampered a little bit by my living in...

    Super Low MPG

    I figured if it were super off it wouldn't run well, but it seems pretty peppy? It's been like this since I got it and my only point of reference is my GS550t, so maybe I don't know exactly how zippy it's meant to be and it's not doing great, but it pulls well and doesn't gurgle or sputter or...

    Super Low MPG

    I've looked at the brakes, swapped out the points for a dyna, and I check my tire pressure fairly regularly, but I'm probably due to. A plug chop is probably smart. My fuel screws are at a full turn right now, because I read somewhere that that was factory? But clearly that's way off. I'll try...

    Super Low MPG

    I picked up a 1978 GS750E in incredible shape a little under a year ago and I've been using it as my daily on and off, as I've had a bunch of little issues related to it having spent the better part of 40 years sitting. It was well-tended and went out once or twice a year, but it's had some...

    Howdy.

    I've had my GS550T for a few months now, been plinking away at all the usual problems and cleaning stuff up. About to tackle the pods some PO put on here. I don't have an airbox, but I can at least get better pods on there and adjust my carbs to be ready to deal with all that air. Anyway, I've...
