    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.

    High cruise rpm, what do I have?

    My '83 1100G hits about 4000 rpm at 70 mph. I agree with you that it seems impossible to be that far off with a different final drive or anything like that. It must be speedo or tach error or something that's been swapped in from a different sized GS bike. I think Salty monk meant to say his...

    Who can help me out with 79 GS1000E carb sleuthing? VM26SS with Dynojet questions

    The one and only time I used a dynojet about 10 yrs ago, the drill bit was used drill the bottom of the slide (I think that's the term). I'm not sure why it needed drilling.

    1979 GS 1000e air box/carb removal

    Seems like I've heard (on some models), you can unbolt the battery box so it can slide rearward giving a little more room. Not sure if this applies to your model.

    Change 17" rim with L model 16 " rim

    I'm changing my answer to "I have no idea." I see there was no 850GL in 1979 and the 750L of that year was chain-driven. The part number for the G wheel of '79 is different from the part number for the '80G wheel so maybe there is some significant difference between those 2 yrs.

    Change 17" rim with L model 16 " rim

    I did it with a 1983 1100GL and had no problem. I used a 1983 1100G wheel. I tried it with a 1979 850 G 17" wheel and it didn't match up right. The 17" G wheel you use will probably need to be from 1979, I think.

    '83 GS850GL - Steering Head Bearings -- ?? How to KNOW if they need attention

    I felt a lot of wiggle in my 1100GL during an evasive swerve (sleepy car driver changing lanes) and I'm about 200 lbs. If you're a little larger, it may just be the design of the bike you're feeling. A fork brace might be good if you can find one.

    Seems maybe I remember you can order a key if you have the numerical key code which might be printed somewhere. I think there may be a guy on Ebay.
