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.

:? I have had manuals on everything I've ever owned & by everyone including the factory ones.which can be as thick as a phone book & expensive as a $100. One thing I can say is they ALL fall short one way or the other. Not giving you enough information or giving you wrong information. That's been my experience for 30+years! But get a manual(any manual) anyway-then use this site for anything you aren't sure of. There is a wealth of information here-wish i hadn't lost my internet connection while I was restoring my carbs,would've saved a lot of time & effort. :wink:

I've never used the Haynes books but the Clymer's are not all that great. They are, for sure, better than nothing but they tend to leave out details that would be very helpful. Sometimes they also make assumptions regarding assembly steps that can cause a little confusion. :roll:

The Haynes books are not the "cats meow" either. I have the one for the 850 & 1000 shaft models. Should have bought one just for the 850s. I'm thinking it would have been better. Don't know for sure, just thinking that.

You actually found a Haynes manual? I was looking for one as a companion piece to my mostly worthless Clymer manual ( at least the wiring diagrams are in color). I thought maybe they might cancel out each others cluelessness. Oh well, at least my slightly used factory service manual will be on its way by the end of the week.

Both are a bit limiting. I have the original factory manual for my GS1000...but that was back from 1980 when they were affordable and available. nothing like all those special tool and part numbers for everything!
