    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.

cylinder head gasket

Hi all. My gs 1000 wasn't running very well and leaking oil so I decided to take off the head to see what was going on. the head gasket seemed fine but there are four o rings, one on each of the four outer studs which are the oilways. I followed the haynes manual and there is no mention of these o rings. I have looked at several diagrams, both in the books and online and cant find them anywhere. Are these o rings meant to be there? The o rings are between the cylinder head and the block and two are damaged which would account for the oil leak. Any help is greatly appreciated.

The newer style OEM head gaskets don't use those seals.

When pulling the head it's highly recommended to change the base gasket at the same time, and always use OEM head and base gaskets on GS bikes.
