    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.

My GS1000g dies when it idles.

I over filled the engine oil and only realised a few days later. I've empieted the excess oil. but when the bike is running its like some wet/ slurping noises coming from the exhaust, this is not constant but infrequent.

I checked the air filter, seems fine, i'm about to change the spark plugs. as the others were looking as if theie time was up.

the bike runs reasonably well at higher speeds. my uncle thinks it might either damp as it hasnt been run for two weeks or excess oil floating about.

Any thoughts would be a great help

thanks

Check compression. My guess is a stuck valve or bad valve clearance.
 
Oh God, another Essex Girl :D

How much did you overfill by ?

A little over is not a problem. To the top of the filler cap is a ball buster :D

Is it a 8 or a sixteen valve ? Not that that really matters, but it might help to understand if it's a valve issue

Not that I know you're uncle, but he's a pi$$-taking bastard :D:D
 
My mechanic told me a story about how some guy put like 3 quarts of oil in his bike and it blew all of his seals. Now, im not trying to worry you or anything but it could be a possibility.
Does the bike smoke alot of white smoke or anything? if it does blows even alittle white smoke, it means your lubrication ring is getting wore out but you don't really have to worry until it starts to billow it out. When you said that there is odd noises coming from the exhaust, well, that sounds like valves to me.
