    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.

Wondering how often guys clean up there points. I can tell by the increased handle bar vibration that mine are due and if I leave it to long 2-3 start to miss. I just run a strip of 600 emery paper through them.
 
You should NEVER use emory cloth or sandpaper on points. Especially sandpaper, as that embeds grit in the contacts, but both sandpaper and emory cloth will round the edges over.

Get yourself a good points file. Small, cheap and you probably won't have to do the maintenance as often.
 
Just go inside a modern auto parts store and ask for a points file. Very entertaining.

Hmm, a quick search at the website of one of the major ones did turn up a points file. They aren't trying very hard if they can't come up with it.
