DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.
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...
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.
That's me trying to put a brave face on it! In terms of the forks, just to be clear, are you saying I should pull them and replace the oil and seals now because I'll have to do anyway some time down the road? Thanks again for your advice.Billy you're way ahead of me! I downloaded the manuals from BassCliff's brilliant website so it shouldn't be a problem. In my heart I know I should pull the engine and forks - I just can't wait to be on the road as I'm without transport and relying on public transport. Though I suppose a few more days isn't going to hurt is it!The thing I fear most is getting stuck or disheartened by taking on too much and not finishing the job.
Valves definitely getting checked. If I pull the engine can I check clearances when it's on the bench?
When you compress the forks if you don't see oil left behind on the fork tubes the seals are most likely good.
no problem....
if you have a look at my rebuild thread, you will probalby get lots of ideas there as well.....
just saying....
Under give it a try.If you don't like it chose another brand till you find one you do.Friends in Aus have had good luck with Yamalube carb cleaner from the Yamaha dealers.Yamaha Canada doesn't stock it of course but they might over there. I find one I could get here that works but stinks REALLY bad.
