    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.

1983 gs1100- The bike will jerk forward when I have both wheels on the ground and shift from neutral into first gear. The jerk is somewhat prominenet going from neutral to first but very prominent going from neutral to second. Especially noticeable when the choke is on. What could be the problem? Rear wheel also spins quickly when bike is on center stand, in gear and clutch depressed.Do I need to make some adjustments?

Thankyou!

Download a manual from BassCliff's site. Sounds like the clutch needs adjustment. It is dragging a little.

Post a picture of your bike
 
if the chokes on then the engine is at higher than idle RPM.
if the engine's revving higher than idle and you stomp it into gear it will jerk/pull/snap/crackle/pop ect..

i am starting to get confused about your questions.:confused:

I think he must be fiddling with it and looking for symptoms
 
Confusion

Confusion

My apologies if my questions appear confusing. I've just recently purchased the bike and don't really "know" it yet. I've just had some observations about some percieved crankcase area noise and shifting concerns.

Thankyou for your advice.....
