    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.

Hey Gang! Just joined today and already got my question answered? Talk about service! Anyway, just picked up an 83 GS850L little over 15k on the ticker. Getting carbs cleaned and reassembled ( did alot of the work myself, with just the slightest oversight from my mechanic:D. Getting windshield and tires and I'll be good to go. Need to fix horn or horn switch or wiring in between, still in the process of figuring that out. I can tell already with the experience of the members on this site it will be my one stop shop for all my questions regarding my newest pony in the stable. Thanks again for your patience with the newbie and I look forward to learning all I can about my GS850.;)bike3.jpg Brendan.
 
Don't stand in the open when you ask a question on here - you could be run over in the stampede to help :)
This if you haven't already found it http://members.dslextreme.com/users/bikecliff/
Pay attention to the charging system. Find Posplayr's sig and get checking. The stock regulators fail and fry stators and the stock wiring of earths needs revising and and and..........................
Many happy miles and safe arrivals.
 
Is this a conspiracy and the world is being taken over by Brendan's....:D

Welcome Brendan (without the W). You'll see your near namesake has filled in his location and that can be really helpful as the same bike in different parts of the world could have different specs. Plus you might have a member who lives just down the road from you willing to completely rebuild your bike in exchange for a beer and a chat.

If you want to test your horn just short it across your battery. I bet it's a bit of muck in the switch, happens a lot.
