    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.

Hello all,

My petcock is passing fuel in all positions. Don't have the tank on the bike. Any thoughts why?

Thanks!
 
Hi,

Yes, the rubber, diaphragm, spring, mating surfaces, etc, are 30 years old. It may last for years. It may last a week. Be prepared to replaced it and then you won't have to think about it for another 20 or 30 years.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
Do yourself a favor and buy a new one as mentioned above, you are on borrowed time.
 
You will start seeing your oil level rise soon. Keep an eye on it.

And when it rises do not run your bike you will destroy the lower end, bearings don't like gas , and a 650 G is an insert bearing motor
 
Kit or New Petcock?

Kit or New Petcock?

Would you recommend a kit or new petcock? Doesn't appear that Z1 has a petcock for the GS650G.
