    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.

I feel honored. How does one go about applying for "sticky status"? How do I get my little offering parked in the "garage"? You've all been so helpful to me, I just wanted to try to give a little back.

Thank you for your indulgence,

Good question! We need posts like this to be a Sticky so all the newbies can see. I've been thinking about making up a FAQ page and would really dedicate myself to putting something good together if I knew it wouldn't just go away as the thread died.

Regarding this thread, one problem is that you will have to keep the photos available FOREVER or people will not be able to see them. Taking your text/photos and putting them into PDF format might be a good idea (like the VM carb rebuild article in the Garage section). At any rate, great job for sure and keep up the good work.
 
PDF format, great idea!

Thanks Mr. Nessism,

That is a great idea! I have the technology to do that. I'll make that my project for this week.

Thank you for your indulgence,

BC has contacted me, and I'll be taking the photos and descriptions and finally finishing that valve adjustment page on my site soon. I'll also throw in a few of my own tips here and there.

Thanks! :-D
 
Teamwork!

Teamwork!

Mr. bwringer,

Very cool! I'm glad to be working with you on this very important tutorial. I've also just edited post #6 to add a little more clarity.

Thank you for your indulgence,

GS850 Valve Adjustment PDF file is online

GS850 Valve Adjustment PDF file is online

Hello friends,

I've put my pictures and notes into a PDF file and hung it out on the web. Mr. bwringer will soon be putting together another terrific tutorial on the subject, with more in-depth detail, on his web page. But for those of you who want to, you may download my file here. This webspace is on my "BikeCliff" webpage (which isn't a page at all, I'm just storing this one file at the moment) and will stay there as long as I pay my ISP bill. :-D

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
Another edit with more info

Another edit with more info

Greetings,

I've just edited post #6 again to add information about shim sizes, calculating replacement shim sizes, and a handy tool called a digital caliper (vernier or micrometer).

It's also an excuse for a shameless bump. :-D

If you like the thread, send a note to Frank and maybe he'll make it a sticky next to the carburetor spec thread. You can also download a PDF version with most of this information here.

This information will also be included in another fine tutorial by Mr. bwringer (Brian) at http://www.bwringer.com/gs/ .

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

Speaking of shameless bumps...8-[

Click on my name, send me an e-mail with something about GSR or valve adjust in the subject line, and I will send you an Excel spreadsheet that will help you keep track of your shims and figure the proper clearances. I have gotten a few replies back from people that have used it with good results. 8-[
