    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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.

Thanks Everyone for your help...

Sorry if this is technically the wrong forum for this but this is the forum that got me where I am today and I want to thank everyone for the technical help.

A year after receiving a "free" '81 GS850 I finally went for my first ride on it today. \\:D/ I've mostly lurked in the forums for the past year... you learn more by reading than writing right?

Anyway, I've never done anything more complicated to a vehicle than change a starter in my car and install an amp/stereo/speakers. But with all your help I've done all the things listed in my signature below and the thing moves now!

When I first got it it would start, but wouldn't stay running without the choke all the way out. Now it purrrrrs. Again thanks everyone. It's been fun so far and maybe next year I'll tackle some suspension upgrades.

Congrats on Your success so far, Hope you Two have a long and Happy relationship!:-D
 
<sniff!> I love happy endings!

Mr. GooberPea, you are a fine example of someone who rolls up his sleeves and gets it done. Thank you for sharing your story.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
Goober, you and I are about in the same boat. I've mostly lurked and read and have little experience. The guys have done a great job helping me out. I had so much fun riding the GS last summer the Roadie quit on me so now I'm cleaning that carb!! I promised the GS I'd do her valves this summer. Who knows, maybe you'll be helping me out.
 
Great!

Great!

I think that's great! Stick around...something may go wrong again (or you can help one of us!).:?
 
Oh, I'm not going anywhere. Though it's running I still feel like I have lots left to do. For starters... just about every tutorial on BikeCliff's site :-)
 
Well done! The satisfaction of doing something successfully yourself is one of the biggest motivators around as you most probably have experienced!
Post a picture when you have the time.
