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.

You need to tell us the colour of your bike: if it's blue that's your problem - everyone knows red ones are better.

One day I asked a friend of mine from Manchester what his favorite color was. He just stared at me for a moment with a blank look on his face. It was then that I realized my mistake, so I rephrased my question...
"What's your favourite colour?"
"Oh, Green."

to solve this problem...
to solve this problem...
you gotta do a couple of easy steps, you noobs fail to see the importance of this time after time.
I'm only gonna tell ya'll once more;
1. Rebuild the carbs (do it 3 times, this is not really nessisary, it's more like a way for us to see if yer really serious, can take orders and have the stick-to-it-ness to be a real GS'er type... consider it hazing if that helps)
2. replace all O rings, A rings and oh heck... replace anything rubber, nital, vinyl, and latex and anything vaguely squisy
3. got points? they're soooo '79 - replace with modern-type electronic ign parts)
4. test all charging system... you'll need a multi-meter and test light and some big rubber soled shoes. honestly noob... you prob should do this first cuz if you don't survive this the rest was a waste of time
5. Replace the R and R with a R/R unit.
6. adjust the carb air/fuel mix ... carefully screw in a really small screw until it lightly touchs bottom... then backout anywhere from 1 1/4 to 2 1/2 turns... opinions vary (or which one of us you wanna **** off?)
7. check gas tank for rust and sediment... clean tank by filling full of pennies and throwing in a clothes dryer for a couple of hours
8. petcock.... only 1 out 10 say rebuild... be a rebel ... rebuild
9. adjust valves... WHAT!!? you haven't adjusted the valves yet...can't stress this enuff... must do... you'll need a special tool for this... it kinda looks like a cross section of a tablespoon. Buy at least two cuz you'll wind up throwing one into the nearest river out of shear frustration. (I keep picturing a long line of Japanese mechanics in little jump suits and baseball caps jumping off a bridge. They're committing hari kari after failing to get those valves done in the required time and dishonoring thier ansestors.)
10. Lastly... Theres a common misconception that "there is no stupid question". This is false. Please think about your question before asking... if you think we might it's stupid then don't ask.
now... what was yer question?
