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.

I have a 82 GS550L with approx 9000mi. I noticed that once and while the bike would not shift into 6th gear or slip out of 6th gear. Recently it seems the gears have been louder but I can't describe what it sounded like. However I seemed like something different then the chain noise. This weekend I removed the crankcase cover to discover the whole area was covered with thick gunk. I checked the oil pan cover and the other side was clean so I verified the gunk was isolated to the crank case. The carbs were leaking gas and orginially I thought that was the issue (hence why I orginally removed the crank case cover), however now I think there is other issues. I'm assuming my next step is to inspect the gear box as everything on the sprocket & chain side look okay except for the gunk. Do I need to remove the engine from the bik or can I fix whatever the problem is with th engine still on the bike? I was wondering what the experts think my problem is? Also, I found half a washer with multiple ball bearing but I have no idea where it goes. I check Bike Bandit diagrams and it doesn't show it. Help
