    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 All,
Finally got my half of the garage sorted out so I decided to start my Resto on my 1981 GSX 400 FX. The first thing was to remove the motor, strip the frame down so it can be painted. I did the blasting of the frame to remove the paint. Once it was removed I used a detail sander to remove any surface rust, which there was not a lot of. The colour I am using is gloss black. :D
Can not get the pictures to work. Will try to post again later
 
Wow here I was thinking I was the only one! Check your wiring out where it enters your switch blocks on the bars mate , and check around the ignition cause mine had worn out and started shorting randomly ;-)

:rolleyes: Hi ALL
I thought that I may as well split the cases apart to do a check of the crank shaft journal Bearings. Started out ok but ( BUT ) I snapped 2 bolts :confused: , one in the upper case and one in the lower case , ( not happy Jan ) :mad: . After some very loud yelling I carefully used an easy out with some heat to remove them. Thank the speed demon?s who invented easy outs

Diving right in I see.

And yes easy outs make wrenching better!
 
Hi All
Have made some slow progress on the engine. I had my brother in law work his magic on the cylinder head . Top bloke and knows what he is on about .He did the valve seating for me and installed the valves as he has all the right tools needed. All I had to do was install the rocker arm shaft etc.
