A note to new registrants...
All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

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.

My 85 GS450 runs good ... but lousy idle!

My GS450 is now running the best since I have owned it. I keep having to adjust the 2-carb idle adjuster to keep it at 1,300 rpms. Have owned it 2 years now but the 1st year was a nightmare with all the work needed. Now I just tap the starter button .... and it starts during the summer months. Yes, it will rev to 9K + but I can't help but think I am beating the poor bike to death ... and usually just baby it to 6,000 on gear shifts.

The GS resources states that I am no longer a Forum Apprentice .... but a Forum Mentor now. Don't feel qualified to offer advice to others except with basic stuff I have had to deal with.
