    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

Hey All,

Ok, so I purchased a few months back a '79 GS1000E. Now, I'm new-ish to bike maintenance, and got this as a project. She runs well and all, but I just wanted to pick everyone's brains in terms of what type of maintenance/replacements I should focus on, or how to prioritize. She's got a minor leak from underneath the left side (the Crackcase Cover, I think) under the emblem. How would you go about fixing this? Sorry, I know the first part is kinda a broad question, but any advice is welcome. And yes, pictures to come. Thanks!
 
Give it a good degreae and make sure you look for th original source. But if its just the Alt cover thats a easy fix. All depend on how u want to fix it. My bike i would pull the sproket cover off unplug the wiring that leads to the cover and undo that cover. There is a rubber gromment in there for wires to pass through that mite need cleaning of silastic from previous attempts. Bass cliff be along soo for his mega welcome so download a copy of your workshop manaul and plan what you like to do. be checking alternater nut and sproket nut for tightness while in there and hoping the 3 bolts that hold ure starter gear arent loose. Good luck
