    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...

    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.

Hey,

so i originally thought this was a carb problem but, the bike used to run perfect in first and second but would bog down in 3rd, 4th, and higher, and i fixed that problem by setting the petcock to prime and then back to on before starting the bike, but now, it starts bogging down in first gear itself, any suggestions, also an occasional backfire comes up and it didn't do that before. I think im just gonna put some sea foam in the gas, and hopefully thatll solve it. but otherwise i dont know what could be wrong

Any suggestions?

Thanks
 
Have you changed the carb boot O rings yet? Cures many problems.
 
Plus one on the

"Set the petcock on pri and leave it there to ride around a bit and see if you get good results."
 
yeah, i tried that and i didnt; see any improvement yesterday. So what i did was i put some sea foam in the tank, and let the bike idle for about 8 minutes, with the occasional revving. Then i took it for a drive (never set it to prime after sea foam). and it ran perfectly!! This morning, i checked the bike and the overflow thats connected to the airbox was leaking a lot of stuff on my garage floor, does any1 know the reason for this, or how i can fix it???????

Thanks
