    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.

i have never even taken off the gas tank, so i guess this will be a good learning process....

i have the clymer manual, and ordered a cable, and hopefully it will get here soon enough.

but...while i have the tank off, can you folks suggest any maintenance that i can look at/try? i figure that while i have access, might look around a bit.
 
Cleaning / replacing plugs... checking plug wires..... Valve adjustment..... cleaning up all the connectors & putting some dilectric grease in them.... clear out the breather.....

Check voltage at the coils.

That's about it for up there.

Well, while you are in there, you can check/change the spark plugs, check/adjust the valves, clean the carbs, measure coil voltage, replace your clutch cable, check air pressure in the tires, check brake pad wear, actually, just about anything else that tickles your fancy. :D

Make a note of how the clutch cable is routed through the triple trees and where the clamps secure it. This is critical to make sure that it operates smoothly without binding. The clymers manual should illustrate cable positions also in case I am too late. Good luck:).
 
thanks for the responses guys. i'll be taking the tank off this afternoon, and i'll holler if i need help.
 
could consider doing the coil relay mod too, if you get a voltage drop at the coils.
