    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.

1982 GS650-G falls on its face when throttle twisted

I have a 1982 gs650. It falls on its face real hard when i give it gas. and it really can only be ran with the choke on all the way. And even then it runs bad. FOR SOME REASON ther is a hole sawed out of the are box....i guess so you can have easy access to spray starting fluid since it is required for the bike to start. I coverd the hole and still runs the same.

I also put a higher octane gas in. Runs A TAD better. But not well. Any help??
 
I would avoid using starting fluid since it is hard on the engine. Only runs on full choke, has to be started with ether...when was the last times the carbs were cleaned. When the carbs are clean, the valves are adjusted, the ignition system is in good order..these bikes start up on the first couple of cranks. Make sure you have a clean air filter and box is sealed properly. You'll be amazed at how well this bikes run once they are adjusted properly.
