    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.

Back on August 19th of 2012 I found and recovered a 1982 GS650GL. I have lusted after the Suzuki GS bikes since 1979. Due to marriage and and finances I was unable to make it happen at that time. Now due to an empty nest and an understanding wife I started looking on Craigslist. Found this bike and brought it home from middle of Kansas. The seller said it was running a couple of months before, but that was hard to believe.
The rebuild: The fuel petcock needed rebuilt. The carbs were removed and rebuilt. Found a carb to head boot was leaking, repaired that. Changed plugs. Got the engine started and found the rear brake was not working. So replaced the rear master cylinder and bled that system. Replace the fluid in the front brake system. After replacing the battery, found the charging system was not charging and also draining the battery. Purchased the ElectroSport R&R and installed it. The bike is basically complete now. Want to add a windshield, road pegs and redo the paint this winter. NEVER could have done it without this website. You and your readers are great. Thanks for making this dream come true for me. :D
