    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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...

  • 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.

Getting about 25 MPG on my GS650...

Oh boy... Working on the carbs sounds really intimidating and I'm scared I'll just screw my bike up even more!

I changed the oil and it was completely black... It was the first time I changed it since I bought it from its previous owner.

Good job changing the oil....hope you changed the filter too.....

Anyway, if you haven't dipped and rebuilt the carbs with new o-rings, it's something that 99 times out of 100, absolutely, positively needs to be done. It's looks quite intimidating when you first look at it, but, in actuality, it's not bad at all. Just stay organized and follow the tutorial to the letter. Be very careful when removing that float pins as not to snap the posts. Get your orings from cycleorings.com and follow the tutorial below. After your done, do a bench sync and slap them back in. :)
