    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.

Quick Fuel Line Question..

What is the diameter and length of a fuel line for the 1982 GS650. Also, I need to order an inline fuel filter right? If so which end should I put it in. Thanks in advance so much.
 
Ahh, two grey area questions. I personally run the 5/16" blue polyurethane type fuel line. Some here use 1/4" line. You will also get many opinions on in line filters. I have read here that car type inline filters are set up for more pressure and could fuel starve you and that mower / gravity feed type filters are better for the GS's since they are set up for low pressure / gravity feed. For the line length if your old one has enough slack just copy the length from what you have, otherwise mount it to the carb inlet first and trim to the length you need. Too much slack is not good since you can kink the line.
 
Thanks, is there any procedure I need to follow to not get gas all over the place when I replace the line?
 
Make sure the petcock is not on prime. You should not get any leaking fuel from the tank in the on or reserve positions. Put a rag over the carbs, you will get some fuel dripping from the line and petcock when you detach it from the tank.
