    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.

Another sync question

Hell all,
Hope all is well. I`ve got a sync question. I`m getting ready to replace my carb boots, o rings, air cleaner boots so I called my local 2 wheel shop for a price on getting the carbs sync`d while they are off the bike and was told it`s better and more acurate if they do them while installed. Are they correct? If so I`ll order and replce the parts b4 letting them do the sync but wanted to be sure. Also can anyone suggest the best place to order the replacemnet parts? Oh and I guess i should say my scoot is a `81 gs1000 G. Thanks
 
A "Bench Synch" will get you close, but you need to synch on the running bike.
It's like bore sighting a rifle.
 
Then I`ll change the parts and ride on over and have them do the sync. Thanks again. Don`t know what Id do without you guys. Now I just need to decide where to get the parts.

BassCliff. I think I`m going to change your name to ACECLIFF!!! This site is a godsend. I`ve read your How To on changing the boots and It`s great. If only you were in KTown. :O) Thanks again to all. On my way to the train for the long commute home. Check in later.

If anyone is stil awake....... Wheree`s the best place to order the replacement parts. Kinda feel guilty if I order them and replace and ask them to do the sync.....
 
OK Got your point. Excuuuuuuuuuuuse me for being a little skepticle. I know my neighborhood guys are good but I just want to get the best deal. 30 years as a tech in a different field with hours cut and innsurance cut. Wife has hours cut cut and insurance cut so we we have to be a bit frugal. I used to be able to say I`m gong to get a bike part. But now it`s HOW MUCH IS IT !!!!!
 
Yexy guy to get to KTown the beer ...........or coffee is on me! Much luv. michaelJ.....
 
I understand the "frugal" part quite well. That is why I had to resort to a job that requires me to travel.

Sorry, but the promise of free coffee is just not enough incentive to get me to travel 375 miles from home or 750 miles from where I am now.

Just make a simple spreadsheet to compare prices of the parts you want at the various places mentioned on BassCliff's site.
If the price gets close on the bottom two (or more), add in the shipping for the bottom line.
