    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.

    RPhillips, must have been factory settings since I had to drill the plugs to remove them. I was just surprised at the difference in settings between the four but per Ed's comment factory set for emissions purposes makes sense to me. Ed, I'm using your carb rebuild guide so I was already set to...

    Ed, O-rings received in the mail today. Thank you. I should be able to put the carbs back together this weekend. Disassembly went fine with the one of the float valve seat holder screw the only casualty and easily replaced. The floats, needle and seat all checked out fine so will be reusing...

    gtem, that's what I have in mind right now, open and inspect first and go from there. RobS, I'll check out Partzilla, thanks. RPhillips, I hope so, the last time I messed with bike carbs were on my CB550 which was a long time ago.

    Thank you Rich and gtem for your recommendation. I'll check out partshark.com. I just got the bike yesterday from the second owner who has only had it for the last three years. It didn't run right when he got it from the original owner so it just sat in his garage. The tank is clean and we put...

    Hello. I'm new to the GS world and just wanted to introduce myself. My 650 will need some carb and ignition work. Do you guys have preferred or favorite parts sources for the GS? Thanks.
