    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.

'84 GSX-1100EF using oil - any help appreciated.

Hi guys. I've recently put an '84 GSX-1100EF back on the road. It only had 50,000km on it but was in storage for 6 years. I've added 3,000km to that and the bike is using oil at an alarming rate - up to 500ml per 100km! I assumed this was because of stuck piston rings (from being stored) initially, but after 3,000km I think it is something else.

Riders behind me say that the left exhaust silencer is blowing most of the smoke, and more when off the throttle (over run). Riding the bike, it seems fine - good strong pull and decent throttle response etc.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers - boingk
 
check the plugs see what they look like,bad valve seals will make it smoke

When you let off the throttle You get a higher vacuum. Bad valve seals will allow oil to be sucked thru the valve guide.
It could also be stuck rings
 
Cheers guys, I'll a look at the head when I can. Thanks for the prompt replies.
