    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.

    Did I just fry the starter motor?

    Thank you for the reply! I had the starter out today, pulled it apart and all checked good! Then I put it back in it's cradle and tried to let the mounting bolts take care of the grounding. Upon hitting the startbutton I got nothing but the "click" in the solenoid. Then I tried to run a...

    Did I just fry the starter motor?

    Hello people! I am new to this forum as well as to motorcycle owning not to mention wrenching on one. For the purpose of learning something new I bought an old nonrunning GS400 (1977). The previous owner said the startermotor was new and that it should be a matter of cleaning and/or tuning the...

    What are these holes for?

    I'm pretty sure they are open nipples. They're not casted. Since they are on the "air" side of the carb I could guess they might have something to do with vacuum. There is a vacuum connect on the front left side that has a hose going to the engine.

    What are these holes for?

    Hello. I'm a noob when it comes to motorcycles. Never ridden one, never done maintenance/repair on one. But now I own one and its old plus it doesn't start. It's a 1977 GS400 caferacer project that I bought cheap because I didn't have enough projects going on. I figured it would be fun to learn...
