    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.

82 1100e cam end plugs question

I noticed when I removed the rubber cam plugs on an 82 gs1100e that they were a actually hard plastic with an indentation around the entire outer edge with rubber material peeling off of it.

If I was reading this post I would assume the plugs are old and hard and the rubber coming off was some kind of previous gasket seal. With that being said, they do look like a rubber sleeve is supposed to go around these.

My question is there a "rubber sleeve" that goes around the cam plug, or do I just order whole new cam plugs?

Ok, thanks Ray, I will.

BTW, I hope an add on question is appropriate. As I adjusted his valves I set them at .10mm (just so I could slide the feeler gauge in and out without it binding).

1. One of the valves is almost to it's very end of adjustment... what causes that and what is the fix for it?

2. Can valve adjustments cause motor to burn hotter or cooler? And if so, within the .08mm to .13mm range, is a larger gap or smaller gap better?
