1979 GS750E Project Pointers

[Sam 78 GS750]

Clean the entire bike thoroughly before you go any further. That would be my suggestion. Plug the intakes since you have the carbs off.
I started as you did, by disassembling a dirty bike, figuring I could clean and recondition parts as I go. It would have been much easier, and gone a lot quicker if I had just scrubbed the entire bike down well before I started digging in to anything.

Hey guys, it's been a while but I can finally post an update. So the bike's definitely a 750G shaft driven Japanese import but not sure of the year. Does anyone know if there's a way to tell?

What's the VIN & engine #?

[hairfromthepast]

Chassis is GS750G-100366
Engine is GS750G-100332

Someone want to chip in on this? The VIN & engine # look odd to me, but I'm easily confused about these things. Could this be a '79 GS750G for the Japanese market only?
