    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.

1982 GS1100 GL- O rings on cylinder sleeves?

Hi all,

In the process of rebuilding the top end, but I'm unsure of the O-ring. In the manual, it say to install them, not very clear on where. But the real problem is, I can't see the O-rings on any part schematic for these cylinders. I've found other schematics that include the o-ring, and some that don't. It's a 74mm ID, but it shows it going right over the bottom of the sleeve. Is that correct?
 
The O-ring goes around the liner and into a groove in the cylinder (on the bottom.) They keep oil from wicking up between the liner and cylinder block, where the oil can migrate through porosity in the casting and wet the outside of the cylinder.

Sorry but I can't find these O-rings in the fishe either.
