    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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.

Woohoo !
Great news -
I find it incredible that people; who would be strangers if not for this site, step up and help with no expectations of anything more than a thank you .
And the encouragement and helpful advice given is priceless.
I too have been at my wits end at times working on my 850 -
And then I take a break - ask for advice- get some online help - a text or two - and back at it
until I hit the next stumbling point - lather-rinse-repeat-
AND THEN --!
BAM - the problem is resolved and I am a way better wrench hand than I was before having learned something new today ;)
Ride safe and ride often

Good to hear of your success Carl. And now you know more about a few things.

Yes, The advice and the encouragement is great.

Some folks also did good at explaining things... I had to study some on my own, because I had no previous exposure to the subject at hand, and then I could understand the explanation better.
So now I understand better about secondary gears (previously I was confused between primary, secondary and final), and the u-joint, and the final drive.
Not that I ever want to see them again.

And, yes, some folks offered parts at a good-GSR-buddy price.
And the offer of doing the machining - that was super great.

And, yes, after the bike being down for 5-6 weeks, and then cold-rainy weather, yah, have gotten out 3 days in a row.
