    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.

GS1000 Exhaust rust interior

I'm hoping I'm at most a couple of weeks from waking my GS1000N up after 10 years.

I had the engine out and most of it apart....now finally for the last month in high gear after a top end job, new tires etc...

Folks here have been helping me with a few issues in other threads.

Newest is the exhaust. One side, towards the back of the bike, has something rattling around inside. Looking in the end it seems a piece of interior structure has rusted off. Holding the pipe vertical and shaking resulted in some rust falling out.

Ok, so I'm thinking you'll tell me I need new pipes and that's about my only option. But I'd like to hear your thoughts if there's any way to fix, salvage them. Also if I can use them temporarily. Been waiting for this startup for a long time.
 
there is no reason why you cannot use them as they are. they may rattle annoyingly inside and you will probably blow a whole lot more rust out the pipes in time but they will work just fine.
 
Thanks very much for the reply. That's great news.

I've just posted that first in 10 year startup was successful in the "rebuild" part of the site.

Should be able to get on the road soon.
