    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.

Hello,I just bought an 1982 GS650L in very nice shape with 6500miles.I decieded to change plugs,both of the inside plug's were very dark and wet,while the two outer plugs were just a tad bit rusty looking.Anyone have any thought on this,any help would be greatly appreciated.Labow
 
Are the two inside cylinders firing? If they are, did you "read" the plugs after the bike sat at an idle?

PS...your going to love that bike, once we get it running right!!! A near twin to mine.

You don't metion how much the bike has been ridden recently. Until you have driven it far enough to get it fully warmed up and the choke fully off the plugs won't tell you anything. Does it start and idle OK? From what you say about the plugs it sounds like it developed a problem and was parked.
 
Lablow,

Welcome to GSR.

Hey another 650.

Lots of folks here willing to help, and most of them fairly knowlodgeable to actaully help har har

You didnt say if it was running or not, or how well it was running.

WHere are you located?

Try a new set of gapped plugs and then see if the outer two are black and wet. If so one of the coils isn't firing.
One coil fires 1&4 and the other fires 2&3.
