    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.

Hi, I am new to this forum and to the GSseries. I have a 1982 GS1100GK and I need to know how many valves it has. I want to get an oil filter and that is one of the questions. How do I tell without taking it apart? Thanks, Arnie
 
hi,
if the cam end covers (on the head) are round, it's an 8 valve, if they are rectangular, it's a 16 valve

Doood...its called google. I dont want to be mean, but if you could not find that info... Maybe you should have someone else do your oil change for you. If you really did not know how to find this info elsewhere I apologize 8-[

I want to thank almost everyone for the polite and fast response. I did use Google and that is how I found this site. I am capable of changing my own oil, thank you, Arnie
