    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 gs450 timing.....

So my clymer manual explains how to set the timing on the points system for the gs400 and 425. It says nothing about the timing for the 82 gs450.....it just says its electronic and doesn't have to be set. But when you get to the chapter about the engine it says the timing can be set by lifting the cam chain of the cams and rotating the cams. I'm a little confused since I don't think messing with the cam chain is a real good idea.
 
Cam timing is one thing, ignition timing is another. The ignition timing is preset. Check the cam timing if you have reason to believe it has been disturbed. I check the cam timing each time I pick up an old bike, quite often they are off a tooth or two.
 
Thanks....I will check it when I open it up for the valve adjustment hopefully this weekend.
