    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.

Hey Fellow GS owners, I just patched 5-7 small holes in my very (Needs to be Por-15 or Creamed) 1985 GS700ES fuel tank, with liquid steel sqwish and nead (gray) epoxy.. Cleaned my petcock and let it set overnight. Put in on today and NO LEAKS !! Put in size 130 Main Jets (Stock 122.5) and what a difference, no rap the throttle stumble. I have a 4 into 1 and beat up Uni-Pods (will replace soon), and will also go up one size on the pilot jet from 37.5 to a 40 This is a bike that cost me $75.00 and it sounds / runs pretty strong so far; havent had it out on the road yet... Anyway I went to check the charging circut (voltage at batt first) and noticed that the person who owned it before me had the R/R dissconnected?? With the bike running all the lights work (Headlight/Taillight/Brake/gear indicator/turn signals(Now do)/and some of the gauge lights) The Gauge cluster itself is totaled, no cover and ?? years in weather/rain/snow/etc did its damage. With the bike off I plugged it in and started the bike (starts right up now with new battery) and with in a few seconds I let the SMOKE out of the R/R... I've read the Stator papers and plan to do the complete checks, but I am also thinking that somthing is SHORTED :oops: Duh!! Any thoughts please let me know, I now need a new R/R min and ?? what else but must find the short first. Anybody have a R/R around?

Mr. Rkt-Rch,

Mr. duaneage should have your 100% compatible Honda r/r upgrade part. Mine is working great. Send him a PM.

Or you can pay three times as much for a new wimpy Suzuki part or aftermarket (Electrex?), or take your chances on ebay. There are other options too, but Mr. duageage can hook you up, no muss, no fuss.

Mr. duaneage and I have no affiliation other than I'm a satisfied customer. :-D

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
I have several available for immediate delivery, 40 dollars delivered. PM me for details.
 
+1 on the Duaneage special. Great part, great price, and even supplies tech support if needed! Yet another member of the GSR who provides a service specifically for GSs and a high quality one at that! Thanks Duane!
 
If you go the Ebay route, don't bid on a Suzuki reg, get a Honda reg 78-82 aprox vintage
