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.

  • 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.

    the herd is thinning

    Alright Scotty, I just got home and it a scorching 45F. Come to Maine, Don and I'll show you around:-k You can even come to Moosehead, heck DonP rode all the way up the 1st year. Don't know when I'll be home bound again. Maybe next year:confused:

    the herd is thinning

    Oh come on Don. I rode to work this morning and it was 25 when I left. Nothing to it. Just like riding in Florida except for the scenery,curves, hills, etc:D

    Bought a GS1100E, Damn Oil Leak

    I had the same leak on my 83 1100E, with the faster black motor,:p and chased it all over the place. Mine was coming from the gasket on the cam chain tensioner. I know it is all the way on the back of the engine but it traveled all the way to the front to drive me crazy until I found it.

    the herd is thinning

    I rode into work yesterday. Granted it was at 1 PM but I got out at 10pm. Had to clean a lot of dew off the bike. Sure a little cool but nothing bad enough to stop me from riding. Not cold enough to bring out the snowmobile gloves so it ain't too bad:-k:D I'll ride until there is snow on the...

    don't do this

    Mine are the same way. We must have had the same monkey wrench on them. Have to search in the area to find a machine shop with laser.:-k

    What's the secret?

    Also check the cam chain tensioner in the back under the carbs. I had a small leak on my 83 1100E and the damn thing would travel to the front driving me nuts. Go figure, but I fixed that leak and the other went away.:-k

    How does this plug look??

    In the chance of asking a dumb question, are these screws circled my pilot fuel screws? Thanks.

    How does this plug look??

    With new plugs in,I started her up today and after warming up for about 8 minutes she settled down into a somewhat good idle. Had good throttle response with only a tiny bit of smoke. It smelled like fuel and not oil burning so I think I just need to put the 105's back in and do a carb synch...

    Jet size question for '83 GS1100ED

    I'm pretty sure the 125's I got them from Bike Bandit as a OEM part. The 105's I not sure. Not marked. Are factory jets marked. I'm almost think Mikuni and dynas are marked. Could be wrong. I warmed her up today and after warming up for about 8 minutes she settled down into a somewhat good...

    How does this plug look??

    Stock ignition as it is has always been. Only thing I have ever done electrical to her is the standard new R/R,stator and coils.

    How does this plug look??

    Not too many miles. I think it is only in hours. Air filter clean. Stock one so it's not oiled. Should it be? I never have/had in the years O wned her.

    How does this plug look??

    It is hard. Tried to wipe it off and anything that does come off with pressure, has a fuel smell:-k Must be rich.

    How does this plug look??

    No color range on the threads. Just the color on the tips. Top end is rebuilt with new rings,new valve seals and fresh gaskets. Haven't had it running too much since rebuild and just trying to button her up. I put new plugs in and will run her to see what they look like.

    How does this plug look??

    Pulled the plugs out of my '83 1100E and they all looked like this one Just a little black on the end but not wet or fuel smell. Am I correct in thinking it is running too rich?? If so, I may have to put the other jets,#105's, back in. Thanks as always.

    fuel gage: anyone have a pic?

    Does this help?? Almost looks like the same set-up on my 83 1100E.

    Jet size question for '83 GS1100ED

    So when I was going thru my carbs last year, I noticed the jets were #105 After checking various resources,including here :cool:,I found that stock size was #112.5 So this is what I put in. The bike has stock air filter,stock air box and stock exhaust. So why would you put in a smaller jet and...

    1983 GS1100E sounds

    I had checked the valves and they were within spec. I'm going to pull the plugs and see how they look. I checked 4 exhaust pipes and they seem to be about the same temp so it seems to be firing on all four. I can rev it up and it doesn't miss or spit, just a little rough. Hopefully new plugs and...
