    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.

Hi there, I have an '84 GS1150EF is it supposed to have air adjustment for the front forks? Where is the line to put air in? I can see two lines running under the tank but where is the valve and how much pressure? My '84 Nighthawk S was pretty picky about low volumne and low pressure, hand pump only. Thanks.
 
It's just under the top triple clamp on the left fork leg. You'll see a black plastic cap covering the air valve. Start with 4 or 5 psi and see if it's stiff enough for you.
 
If you install proper weight Progressive or Sonic springs up front, you won't have to add any air to the forks.

Your fork seals will lead an easieer life, and your ride quality will improve considerably.
