    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.

Hay, set the air pressure in my 1980 gs1100e to 25psi and checked it a couple hours later and it seemed to have dropped. I don't see signs of leakage but could this mean my fork seals are bad? thanks
 
25 psi is too high You are right if it will not hold air you probably need new seals Just make sure the valves are not leaking, that the center core is tight
 
Thanks, found that pressure on the forum. Does any one Know the proper pressure for a 1980 gs1100et. Thanks
 
Your forks are supposed to handle up to 30psi, according to the manual. They come stock with 2.5 psi, if you have weak seals, higher pressure will kill them. For me the only way I could get the front end firm enough was to run 20psi. The best alternative is progressive springs.
 
Thanks Luke, I'm planning on replacing the front springs and seals this winter. Thanks for the help.
