2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after. -
as in thread or spanner size. last one should be 24mm -
I guess I meant spanner; what size socket will fit. I just bought my first torque wrench (I've been wanting one for 40 years). I measured the nut with a ruler and figured 22 or 23mm; too small. I'll order a 24mm tonight. I just got back in the saddle after 24 years and I love buying little things for my Suzi.Last edited by Rob S.; 12-27-2013, 11:54 PM.1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

Rob, welcome to the GS Resources. Pretty much everyone you'll meet here has started small and worked up. We like to encourage new members to do the same.
For you information, this section of the forum is for discussions about the forum itself. That is, how the forum is organized, how it is paid for, and how we keep it orderly.
Technical questions belong in one of the Technical forums. For spindle size, either Tires, Suspension and Brakes, or General Maintenance. Members who are good at repairs spend more time there, and you are more likely to find answers there. Searches for threads that answer particular questions work best when we discuss particular problems in the appropriate forums.
Wander through the forums for a few hours. You'll learn what belongs where. You'll also probably see some discussions of interest. And don't hesitate to use the Search function.

Rob,
Lots of folks here willing to help again, yet, more.
Would be better to post such technical questions in technical section, for two reasons.
1) tech section is where tech folks look for tech discussion.
2a) this "forum question" section is for questions about forumn itself
2b) since it is the very first section, sometimes some spam bots find their way in and post here, so some folks may not respond or even look here.
2c) several folks have mentioned this to you in other discussions. MAybe bye now some folks might suspect that "Rob S." is a spam-bot. (You and I have chatted, so I dont suspect such.)

How to get to "Tech" section?
How do I get to the "Tech" section? I have a bar that begins with "User CP" and ends with "Log Out".
I appreciate all the help.1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

Glad you were able to get back in the saddle Rob.Originally posted by Rob S. View Post
Click on the GS Badge on the top left of your screen. That carries you to the "home page". Scroll down that page and look at the different sub forums like "general", "featured", "technical", etc that are located in a darker blue bar. Under each of those are different topics. Just look around and click on different areas, you'll get the hang of it.Comment

Just above that bar you described.
Clicked on GSResources.
Then can see all the other forums.

1) It seems that the OP has started this thread again in Tires, Suspension and Brakes. So it might be appropriate to delete this thread.
2) OTOH, it is very common for newbies to do the same thing, namely starting a tech thread in this forum. Might they mostly be only seeing a screen without the tech threads?
I don't recall ever seeing a forum opening page without a full listing of the sub-forums. Does anyone know how I would get to that page, just to check it out?
It might be that a small change in forum design would change such an opening screen so that newbies would see everything to start with.sigpic[Tom]

From the home page, nothing happens. From any forum, I get a full page listing of forums.Originally posted by Redman View Post
