    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.

Going to gramps tomorrow (where my 82' GS650E is) and he says while the carbs are off we should probably re-seal the gasket on the timing chain adjuster. Does this part need anything special as far service goes? Not reading or seeing it mentioned very much. As far as I know it's fine but then the bike was only started for several seconds and only one time. Thanks all
 
Just make sure you adjust it properly when you put it back on, bad things can happen if you don't do it right.

And don't turn the engine while it's out.
 
There is a write up by bwinger in basscliff's website that tells you which parts to buy and how to rebuild/seal it. I would do that just to make certain that it won't seep/leak in the future.
