    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.

hello.I've been trying to get my 1980 gs 850 running properly.I thought everything is going right due to all the info on this site.I now take the bike on a ride,And the main idle adjuster underneath the carbs,keeps coming undone,loose,or whatever you call it.This in turn makes my bike not want to idle when i stop.I've tested tis over and over.The screw unscrews itself maybe because of vibration.How can I make this setup nice and tight once the right idle speed is put on it? Thanks for your help. Rod
 
and if you're not missing it, it may be worn out, or the knob out to far for it to have any effect??
 
Sorry Cafe, I didn't read your post correctly. You did say "it may be worn out".
 
No worries mate :) Just shows that after a while, we all become part of the collective mind that is the GSR. I love it :)
 
thanks.

thanks.

Hello.I got my trusty mechanics mirror out to see underneath the carb.Sure enough,the spring was not there.I took the one off my spare carb set, and put it on the screw in bolt.It was a pain to do it,because the airbox is in the way for the screw to come out far enough.But with some patience,and small hands,this job is accomplished.I'm sure there is more to come.Thanks again
