    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.

Starter swapping

Pulled the starter, took it apart, and nearly wept.... it was FUBAR inside. Magnets had broken free and were sliding around.

So I pulled one from my old GS650G engine and examined it. Almost identical, except near pristine inside.
X-refed the parts with my new program, not crossable, but the 650G starter is used in the 1100G and the 1000L as well as a whole range of others (850,750,450,300). So it has the power to do the job. Shaft is identical in every way. The only difference is that the rear plate is not the same, different mount points.

So i swapped the plate from the 1100E's broken starter to the 650G's good one. perfect fit. Starter is a perfect fit in the bike. I swapped it in, and have been using it without a hitch for a couple of months now.
 
rebuilt starter on Ebay was $175. New from Suzi was $200. Yea, a few bones. :)
