    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.

Removing cylinder head still in frame?

Hi guys,

Another noob question :-\\\
I need to take the head off my 1985 GS650GT. Can I take this off with the engine still in the bike? (i.e. will there be enough room at the top of the frame to lift it over the guides?)

Many thanks

Pete
 
You can take it down to the crank case (jugs off) if you want/need.
 
That's great, thanks. So the head will just lift straight up and off?
 
I hadn't split the head from the jugs..... no wonder it wouldn't lift over, how embarrassing! Thanks for the info, it's all off now.

Next question, the casting of the threads for the exhaust bolt has snapped off, I'm struggling to find someone to fix it that I am confident in, and there aren't any 650 heads around that aren't knackered! Is there anything else that will fit that is easier to find? Maybe gs750 jugs and pistons, would this work?

Many thanks again.
Pete
