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.

    Rear brakes locked up... anyone have experience with this symptom??

    Thanks everyone. I didnt work on it today because I had to cut up a tree in my yard. Anyway, I anticipate that the seals are toast since everything got hot enough to melt the plastic cover on top of the calipers. I think I may have an extra caliper...fingers crossed.

    Rear brakes locked up... anyone have experience with this symptom??

    Rear brakes locked up... anyone have experience with this symptom??

    I have a 78 gs1000e I am wanting to get rid of but needed to get the rear brakes working first. I bought a kit and I rebuilt the master cylinder. The rear brakes were sticking so I had a friend that cleaned the rear calipers very well. When we took it for a test ride, the brakes stuck. We...

    Spotted this baby at a Lowes store in Springfield Illinois a few days ago. I assume they worked at the store since it was parked so far back in the lot.

    VM29mm smoothbores question about vacuum/overflow lines.

    Well it looks like I am going to need to order the #25 pilot jets now. Chuck came down and got these babies sync'ed nicely but I am getting burps, hiccups or maybe backfires (seems like burps from the carbs). Seems to run good flat out though. Cheapest place to get them? Anyone have extra set?

    I saw one of those for sale recently that was street legal..... I thought if they were a two seater they may be worth playing with.

    VM29mm smoothbores question about vacuum/overflow lines.

    Ok I am done for the day before I have a nervous breakdown. I ended up NOT taking them off to bench sync again, I just started backing them out the same amount all the way across, and that allowed me to increase the idle knob and get it up around 3500 rpm. I got all of them pretty even...

    I know you are bud....but for me it looks like it is going to have to be a weekend project at the moment. I am going to be jammed up the next couple of weeks with work...if your tendon wasnt snapped I could even pay you good money to help with that as well. I went out and started from scratch...

    VM29mm smoothbores question about vacuum/overflow lines.

    Ok I just took them off to re bench sync them...came inside to get paper clip. If you were serious I would certainly pay your gas. Too bad the cooley isnt ready to sell, i could even swap you my other 78 gs1000 for the cooley if it was ready.

    Thanks for the help. I know it is not how high the bars are... but if they are range is at the bottom of only 2 or 3 ticks high, I wonder how well i am getting the bars fine tuned with one another. I will go out and work on it again tomorrow, so i will pay better attention and try everything...

    VM29mm smoothbores question about vacuum/overflow lines.

    Thanks for the help on the phone today Chuck. I got the new gaskets in and re bench synced the carbs. I put them on and the first thing was the breather hose between 1 and 2 started gushing gas as soon as I hooked the gas line up. I tapped on the bowl and started it, and it seems to have...
