    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.

    It's coming...it's coming......

    All this panic about AI is rather amusing considering all the good that has come from it in medical, science and other research in many areas. Yes, there is going to be a lot of evil coming from it as well. I look at it as just another tool that can move us forward if used properly. Kind of like...

    reserve at 1/2 tank?

    For reference the GS1000E the holds 19 litres (5 gal. US) and reserve starts with 4 litres (approx 1 gal. US) remaining giving 15 litres before switching to reserve. As mentioned If the reserve starts too soon just trim the reserve tube to get your desired reserve range. Hopefully the in tank...

    What's up with tires?

    I think you'll be really happy with that tire. I just checked my service log and the last BT45 rear (I used the 120/90x18 without issue) and got 9,000kms out my last one. Unheard of mileage for me, usually got around 6,000 with previous tires. I'm old so a little slower now mind you. LOL. The...

    Interesting factoid on wealth distribution

    Very interesting Lab3, thanks for the eye opener.

    Wife's Fiat (and car show)

    Is that a newer red Fiat in the background of the first photo? If so juxtaposition is great.

    Question: Preferred Shift Lever Position

    I preferred mine set a little high so I could get my toe under it when leaned over really, really far so I could upshift and go even faster than I probably should have been going in the first place. It works and I have the X-rays to prove it. LOL.

    What's up with tires?

    Not sure where you heard that. Been using the BT45/46 for years now with tubes and love them. Right from the Bridgestone sight.

    New bike in the garage

    Good article on Steve. If you want some real crazy sh1t (as if hillclimbing his CBX wasn't crazy enough) ask about him and his buddies doing sidecar motocross back in the 70's next time you see him.

    New bike in the garage

    Really good find Trevor. Yeah, Steve's a great guy. It even has an uncut rear fender. Did you happen to see a real tidy Blue all original 71/72 T350? He bought that one from my brother a few yeas ago. All original and now a 2 owner bike.

    Tire Mounting/Balancing Service... Thoughts and Opinions.

    Nope. Couldn't get over about 85-90 without lots of vibration. Tossed the tube with the beads, installed new tube with static balance and was good at all speeds

    Ask Chat GPT to roast your town, this is fairly accurate......

    It's pretty shitty place to be so tell everyone to stay away. Too damn many immigrants ......from Fernie. Cranbrook is the Kootenays’ bustling retail hub, known for big-box stores and an airport. Sadly, it serves mostly as a place people pass through on their way to ski in Fernie or relax in...

    This one’s got me stumped

    WooHoo Vince. Had a similar thing a few years ago. After dicking around for quite some time I pulled the carbs and found the poorly tighten main jet sitting in the bottom of the float bowl.

    This one’s got me stumped

    Switch around the coil trigger wires and plug wires so that the coil firing 2/3 now fires 1/4 and visa versa. If the problem stays on 4 then you know it's not an ignition problem.

    Mystery of the Wandering Idle SOLVED! [Mine at least]

    I had my GS1000 doing the same thing last summer, except mine would only increase rhe idle a bit. All I did was stretched the spring as it had collapsed over the years. Only bummer was the easiest way to do it was to pull the carbs.

    THIS is a big step forward

    When I was in Australia a few years ago they were kicking around this very idea. I'm not sure anything came of it but evidently it had huge support from all age groups especially the younger group. As for the slippery slope of government control, the government has been taxing and restricting...
