    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.

Can someone help me figure why the right side exhaust pipe is smoking on my 82 GS1100GL? About 500 miles ago the carbs were cleaned/rebuilt. There is a little oil on the engine. Does this mean the engine is burning oil and if so what needs to be done. Help Please!:oops: :oops: :oops:
 
It sounds like the piston rings are stuck IN on the piston.....
Run some GM (General Motors) choke cleaner through the carbs, this may help free the rings off.

Where abouts on the engine is oil? Can you tell where it is coming from? Pull your plugs and see what they look like,also do a compression check to see if something is wrong
 
Black smoke is from a rich carbs, blue is burning oil. There is also a certain smell associated with each.
