    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.

No air filter

Hey guys i just recently got my 82 GS650GL. I had ridden the bike around for a little bit and couldnt shut off the choke completely or else it would stall. i was told it was most likely because the jets were dirty/plugged so i took the carbs off cleaned everything well, and put in new seats, needles, orings and gaskets. when i put the carbs back on yesterday and fired up the bike i still couldnt kill the choke even after having the bike on for aboot 10 minutes. i then realized theres no air filter on the bike!! so immediatley shut it off. i was wondering if the lack of air filter could cause the mixture to run too lean causing me to need the choke on all the time??
Thanks for any Help
Tristan
 
These bikes have got to have the air filter in place. If you think about how putting individual filters on leans out the carbs, think what no restriction will do.
 
SIMPLY YES :D THE SMALLER CC BIKES SEEM EVEN MORE CRITICAL IN THAT AREA. JUST INSTALL AN AIR FILTER :D
