    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, i have a 79 GS1000. my bike will go about 10miles then sputter out and stall, it wont restart for about ten min. or so. I rebuilt the carbs not long ago and was about the take them back off to see if i screwed somthing up when i noticed a leak from #2 the fuel is dark in colour and wont burn. looks to me like i'll be doing rings and seals but i'm supprised because the compression is good on all cyliders and my plugs aren't wet....but the oil has to be coming from somwhere right? not looking forward to re-ringing her, i was pretty sure i'd get to enjoy her this summer. Any sugestions? :(

#2 carb from the bowl drain plug. i just let it idle for awhile (20min or so) it is started puffing white from both pipes. it is an oily fuel mix that is leaking out. to be honset the leak turns out to be a good thing, at least i know there's a issue.
 
nah V, its eng. oil that i'm seeing. the more i think on it the less sence it makes....even if my rings or valve seals went bad there is no explanation for the oil. I flushed out the tank btw.
 
Your crankcase breather hose maybe spewing oil into the air box (if you still have one) from blow by. Weird it would end up in only one float bowl though.

I lost two piston ring lands, filling the front of my air box full of oil. I was far from home when it happened, but managed to get home recycling oil from the air box every 20 miles.
 
That sucks turk, but no i have pods. i've taken her out since and it hasn't happened again... very odd. i cant ridle out were it came from. still no long trips mind you, i just don't trust her yet.
