    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.

82 GS850G. There appears to be a vacuum line connector located on top of the crank case just behind the starter motor cover. Where does that line connect to, and what is is purpose? My Clymer manual shows the line in one picture that I found but does not show where it goes.

If it is the one I'm thinking of it is a vent for the 2th gear case, small hose goes into the starter cavity

It's a vent line. It goes into the starter cavity via the slot at the right front, then into the drain hole at the bottom of the starter cavity.

Here's a crappy shot of the drain hole on a GS850 engine. There's a piece of blue hose stuck in the hole so you can see it:

I took these pictures when we were trying to figure out what the heck that hole was for a while back. It leads to an empty chamber, then drains to the outside via another hole at the bottom of the chamber:

Now you know why you can ride in the rain without filling up the starter cavity with water.
