    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.

Oil cooler hose Issues

I got the bike with an oil cooler already on it. The previous owner routed the hoses which are 3/8ths between the carb and air box. I dunno how everyone else installs this but this configuration is a pain in the ass.

Does anyone have a better routing method? or should i just eliminate it?

to be honest my 850 didnt have one and i thought it ran great so im not sure weather to keep or scrap.
 
You didn't mention which engine you are talking about. GS1000G? The eight valve GSes in stock form never needed any oil coolers, even in tropical places. The 16 valve engines did, there's not enough airflow through the cooling fins in the head. Use good oil and don't worry about it. Sell the cooler to someone with a high performance engine that gets hot.
