    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.

Stupid friggin' Haynes manual...

Unfortunately I have no factory shop manual for my 83, and even though I do for my 81, there are some differences. Until I get a shop manual (or Doug copies the supplement for the 83- hint, hint) I'll have to lean on you fellas a little. The front shocks are completely different. The Haynes maunal that I have for the 83 lists the fork oil level for the following US 1100 models: T, ET, EX, LT and EZ. I have a freakin' ED!!! The manual is supposed to cover all 1000's, 1100's and 1150's from 1979 to 1988, but it's full of lies- LIES I TELL YOU!

What model listed would be correct to use for specs and such?

What is the fork oil level supposed to be for my 83 1100ED?
 
I found it. Once again- "I am so smart- s, m, r, t".

Haynes still sucks.

WOW! Winter really gets to you, doesn't it? :lol:
 
There's not enough snow to ride the sled, but enough snow and ice to make the roads unfriendly to bikes- plus it's COLD- yeah, this winter is gettting to me.

Luckly I have the wrenches on the bike a bunch. You should see how clean it is too!

Obviously your winter depression and anger have affected your grammatical skills........................ :lol:
 
Should I be offended by all these fine people trashing me? Or should I just admit that I asked for it?

I would (and have) admit that I asked for it and watch carefully for someone else to screw up so you can join in with the trashing............ :twisted:
 
YEA!!!!

I got my Paragon Brake lines in today! They look oh so nice!

So you should hear a lot less bitching from me for a few days. :D
 
The factory manual is the only one worth having. The Haynes, etc, manuals, can cause confusion.
I'm sure many members here that have access to a copier would make copies of their factory manuals to help others work on their bikes. It takes a little time and you have to have an understanding boss if you copy at work. But for a free lunch, what the heck. :wink:
 
Doug has been hooking me up. Apparently it's the same manual as my 81 but with a supplement for the 83. He's been e-mailing me the scanned copies.

I hope to scan my entire manual in to the computer. Mine is getting really beat up.
 
Geoff,
Put it on a CD.





This way you have a backup........just in case you get pi ssed off at your PC and format your hard drive :lol:
