    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.

    Another Sonic Springs Nightmare!

    Even with the somewhat questionable customer service reviews I had read, I ordered a set of Sonic Springs on April 28th. The money came out of my account on the 29th and I received an email stating that the order had been accepted by Sonic. (All good so far!) I sent an email on 5/2 requesting...

    Bad petcock?

    Check the simple stuff first! Is it connected to the correct vacuum port on the carbs? Is there a hole in the hose? Do you have vacuum on the hose when it is not connected to the petcock with the bike running?

    Mikuni carbs fuel transfer tubes leaking GS 750

    Are yours leaking? Soaking them in gasoline before re-installing them usually makes them swell up and seal. If they are already installed, just leave the fuel turned on, with a catch tray, and they will probably seal up just fine. Although it may take a day or so. Some on here have carefully...

    "Maybe a little dirty, but if it hold the center stand up, I'd say you're good to go." Leave it to Norm to complain about a little dirt! If you want, I can send it to you for cleaning, Norm!:p (That might keep you from rubbing the paint off that new toy of yours!)​
