    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

My gs1000g 1980 has a "ping" on accel once it gets hot. Any idea's or is this a normal thing I will have to live with :roll:

Any mods? You can up the octane to stop it, but if you don't have any mods it may be a sign of another problem. Possibly some carbon build up? I think tight valves can cause this too, have you checked your clearances lately? You don't want to live with pinging, it's not good for the engine.
 
Just 4 into 1 for mods, I've only had the bike for 2 years and never did a thing to it but gas, plugs, oil and regulator. :oops: Carbon could be possible since the prev owner just rode around town. I should maybe check into a valve adj as well. Is it an easy job?
 
I'd check the timing first, don't know if it's points or solid state. But you can always back if off a few degress and go for a test ride. Go ahead and mark the plate with a line so you can always set it back if you don't like it.

Turn the plate clockwise 1/4 of an inch and see what happens if you don't have a timing light. And you may have to increase the idle if the motor die's.
