    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.

Trying to figure out what year this motor is. It's an '83 GS1100E bike, but the previous owner doesn't know if the motor in the bike is original. Engine number is GS1100X163327. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Yes, the frame number is for an '83. Was wondering if the engine was an 83 also, without disassembling it. Motor is black, but may have been painted, because fins, carbs, etc, are all painted black. Tried to remove paint on one of the fins with brake cleaner on a rag, couldn't get it to come off. Haven't tried that hard yet, as I just brought the bike home. Was just wondering if there was a way to find out by the number. Thanks.
