    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.

    630 to 530 chain/sprockets on 1981 GS750L - Do it?

    Front sprocket is 15T 630, replace with 18T 530 to maintain the same diameter. Origional ratio = 40/15 = 2.667 Rear sprocket = 2.667x18 = 48T Origional chain = 96 links x 3/4" between links = 72" long chain For a 530 chain, which uses 5/8" between links, you have 72/(5/8) = 115.3, so use a...

    Do you have fresh O-rings and bowl gaskets? Full dissembly and carb dip soak highly recommended.

    GS Rectifier/Regulator replace

    Send that Aramox R/R back to Amazon, and buy a Shindengen SH775 off ebay instead. Your bike uses a standard three-phase permanent magnet alternator. GS bikes don't use excited field. When searching for a SH775, be aware that there are tons of fakes in the marketplace. Look for a used one...

    New member - 1983 GS650G

    The 650 is a great bike. Good luck with the rehab project! Hopefully the links in my signature show up. You will find a carb rebuild tutorial, a link to purchase carb O-rings, and a link to the Newbie Mistakes thread, so you can be aware of some common issues. Maintenance work put in up...

    #3 cylinder pipe cold and oil leaking from #3 cylinder

    Follow the factory method to adjust the valves. They adjust in pairs so that two adjacent valves are on the base circle at the same time, that way the adjacent valve isn't depressed and pushing up on the cam, skewing it in the journal clearance.

    #3 cylinder pipe cold and oil leaking from #3 cylinder

    Go max size possible, because the valves tighten with mileage and a big gap will last longer.

    Hanging Idle/Pilot Air Screws

    The question about 450 pilot screws has come up before. If you can post photos and some dimensions, someone may be able to help you match something up.

    Ignition coil replacements

    With later year electronic ignition systems, resistance typically went down in the coils, not up. With a low resistance coil, you can add a ballast resistor if you have to, to increase resistance. And common road-going bikes don't use a CDI system, they use a transistorized ignition system...

    Ignition coil replacements

    Agree, but replace the HT leads. 7mm copper core wire. The previous owner did you a favor with pulling out the wires, I just hope the spike is still there in the coil.

    Hot Start Issue, '97 ZX-11

    Shim kits are a poor value, because many if not most won't be the range you need for your bike.
