    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.

Rear Wheel spin, should there be more?

Put the GS1100 on the center stand and put it in gear. Let off the clutch and the rear wheel starts spinning. Pretty much as soon as I squeeze the clutch, the wheel stops. Shouldn't there be more spin after the clutch is applied? I apply clutch at the 15 second mark on the video and the wheel stops almost immediately.

 
Yes, there should be more. Brakes are dragging too much. I saw this a ton of times on H-D's. Might be time to rebuild that caliper and make sure your pads are wearing correctly.
 
Possibly the return hole in the m/c is plugged up. I am going through the brakes on my 850 now and they were not releasing correctly either. The ultrasonic cleaner did a great job!
