    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.

Front fork question

Hi again,
I am in the middle of putting right a 81 GS750E and started to find that some people don't fix a bike right :evil: . My problem is the front forks, the previous owner blew the air caps and filled one with a wood screw in the valve and the other with a bolt of the right size and thread and got rid of the valve. The question is how important is the air in the front forks I was thinking of just sealing off the caps with proper bolts and seals then getting the grade and amount of oil right, would this be wrong? I have heard of too much air pressuer blowing the fork seals and I have just replaced them and don't want to do that again for awhile. Thanks in advance,
Ian
 
If you use the progressive fork springs, A lot of people do away with the air pressure
 
I just installed a set of Progressive springs and haven't had the need for air in them.
 
Thanks I do not have Progressive springs in yet but they are on the list. So air is not need it's just a ride and see at this point for me.
Thanks :D
