    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.

need some suggestions...

I've noticed i have a fair amount of white/gray/black (but not oil smoke, it's too light and wispy and doesnt smell of burning oil, smells almost like cordite from a fired weapon) when i blip the throttle at idle. I cant tell if it does it while riding, but i am assuming so. I am guessing that this is unburned fuel and i am rich. Ive pulled plugs and noticed the 2 and 3 cylinder's plugs are wet with gas. Also when I shut the bike off a bit of smoke seems to seap out of the end of my meg on my V&H for more than a few seconds. Am I correct in my assumtion? If not what would you suggest? Thanks guys and gals!!

they share the same coil. Can you reach down and feel your pipes (be careful) when it's running? You can tell what cylinders are hot and what ones aren't as hot. That will help you trouble shoot the problem.
 
Have you done anything to your bike prior to this symptom?
I rejetted my GS550ES to compensate for a Vance and Hines Pipe and moved up to 107.5 on my mains and upped my pilot jets from 37.5 mm to 40 mm. The 40's are too fat and ran the engine rich. I changed back to 37.5 non-emulsion type pilots and the problem is cured. I had the smoke coming out of my pipe while trying to start and after turning the key off too. I thing your rich as you state. Good Luck
