    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 to this fourm and it's members !

I'd like to say thank you to all the members of this forum, and the forum admins for this great site. One of the best forums on the internet in my opinion.

I got a really good deal on 1980 GS 850 L that had been stored for at least 3 years, because the the PO couldn't get it to run.

The bike that I bought went from not idling nor running without half and sometimes full choke. Number 4 exhaust cold, backfiring, spit'n and sput'n. You name it, it ran like shyte, when it did run and i could get it started.

But thanks to this great forum, and it's members, new intake boots, carbs cleaned following the guide from this site, new spark plug caps, air-box sealed and cleaned up. Now my bike starts by just touching the start button, and idles like a fine swiss watch at 1,100 RPM.

Thanks guys, and gals ! :clap:
And a special thanks to chef1366 for selling me the parts that I myself messed up. :)

Next step, adjust valves, tune and sync carbs.
 
It's great when a plan comes together. And you gotta love them "L's".:)

Swiss watch? Wouldn't it be a Japanese watch?:p

I've always liked the styling of the L, I had a GS450L when I was a young whipper snapper. Always wanted another one, now i have a nice GS850L. :)
