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...

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.

I've read a lot of conflicting information on forums about OEM vs Motion Pro quality of clutch cables.

Specifically for GSs, which do you prefer?
 
I just purchased a new OEM cable for my GS1000. Quality is VERY good and not that much more money then the Motion Pro. I'd stick with OEM.
 
I have never, ever heard anything but negative (and usually profane) comments about the MotionPro clutch cables. I'm not sure I'd want one even for a spare, since there's the effort involved in changing the cable out.
 
I'll buy OEM then. I read a lot online about how the Motion Pro cables were actually superior to the OEM.

That could vary by bike, though. Not all of these forums were for classic Suzukis.

I have a Motion Pro on my bike. The only reason I used it is because it got here first. I've read a lot on this site about how the MP is inferior to OEM.
 
I've never once heard anyone say Motion Pro is superior. But I've heard lots of negative.
 
My 30 yr old original broke last year. I replaced it with a Motion Pro. That lasted two weeks. I, then, got another original. .When I got it, & compared it's quality to the Motion Pro, I was amazed at the difference. It'll probably last another 30 yrs!
 
Oem.....I purchased a Motion Pro for my1150. it did not have the slack adjusters. The factory cable did mot have slots cut into the skack abjusters to take them off and put onto the new cables.

I bought 2 motion pro's for my "T" during my trip to L.A., Christmas/New Year's 2013/14. I was sorta in a rush and read they don't last long...that's why I bought two. (At least I can get proficient at swapping them out if what they say is true) I'll let you guys know how long the current one lasts.
