    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.

GS850 problems: cylinders dying one by one.

I was riding to work the other morning and I could hear the engine go from 4 cylinders to 3 to 2 to 1 and then it shut off. After a few minutes it would start back up. It did this one other time in the morning. It was a cold ride both times (in the 40s), any ideas on what I could do?
 
Does it fire right up or do you have to crank it??? If it starts right up suspect ign problem If you have to crank it fuel problem
 
It always starts right up. I usually never have problems with it. Only those two cold mornings. I let it set for a minute or two, and then it started right up. The second time it happened I could still feel the cylinders misfiring. I've read that it's unlikely that both coils would fail at the same time though.
 
Could this happen if the bike is running too lean and the sparkplugs overheat?

The same thing happens to my bike after about 30 mintues of riding with these new mufflers on. I know it's running lean. But till the new exhaust comes in the mail....
