    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.

Top End oiler kit ??

I just got my kit from Greg! VERY nice. After searching, I have found that some say a high volume pump is now needed. I DO NOT have a cooler on this bike (83 GS1100E).

Can I go ahead and install the kit or do I need to wait till I get a new pump?
 
Why would you need the top oiling kit for a stock bike? :confused:

(assuming it's stock since you have no oil cooler)

Only time you need them is when your bike starts to see some kind of performance use (racing for example). Unless you work your bike at seriously high rpm's and have some high-lift cams fitted, all you've done is sink a lot of money on something that doesn't really improve the performance or lifespan of your bike in any noticeable way. A stock GS already has sufficient lubrication, else they wouldn't run the long miles that they do.

Just as an "FYI"... :idea:

And as blower mentioned, you need the gears, not the actual pump.

large lift cams=larger valve spring seat pressure=rapid wear=needs top end oiler.
top end oiler added to stock bike=profiler...lol
just kidding:p
 
A top end oiler on a stock GS is just good INSURANCE!!! I put one on every engine I build or the cams & rockers get NO warranty! Ray.
