    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.

85 gs550 im getting a compression leak out of 2 cylinders out of the top of the head out of the spark plug threads what could I do to fix it ?????
 
Some of them go in perfict and some are rilly hard to go in but not to bad not to where u have to force it
 
What plugs dus the bike use exactly I got them with the bike and it wasn't running at the time
 
how do you know its leaking from the plug holes?
are they visible damaged?

You can get an appropriat tap and chase out the holes. I think you need a special tap not sure though.

When it was cold I took the plug wires off and sprayed carb clever around them and cranked it on the up stoke u could hear and see bubbling
 
What is the 85 Gs550 running temperature I've searched the forum no luck
 
Gosh yah know that isnt even int he manual.
Its an air cooled engine and if it is jetted properly it will run in a range that will not destroy the engine.

Do not let is sit idling for more than a few minutes or you are asking for heartache.

Do you think it is runing too hot? Check your plugs and tell us the colour and so on.

And do not buy a manual. A little piece of me dies when folks buy manuals that are freely available.
