    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.

    1982 GS750T - fitting tachometer drive gear... Did I screw up?

    Thanks Rich, I'll see if I can wiggle it in. If not, I guess I'll take a deep breath and remove the head. And then take it as a sign that Permatex wasn't a good idea. I'll keep you posted =)

    1982 GS750T - fitting tachometer drive gear... Did I screw up?

    Whilst waiting for bits from CMSNL to arrive, I thought I'd install the tachometer drive gear back into the cam cover. Reviewing my Clymer Suzuki GS750 Fours 1977-1982 manual, this snippet on page 105 sent a shiver down my spine:

    1982 GS750T - Front Sprocket Cover

    When I took the sprocket cover off, I thought I'd discovered the motherload of crud. Looking at other covers, this 'spongy' mass seems normal. But it's very dirty. So... ...How do you clean it? My usual method of cleaning involves a degreaser, Scotchbrite, a brass brush, and plenty of elbow...

    How To Get Paint Off An Engine?

    Sorry for waffling. My question is: How do I get this freaking engine paint off? I figure there has to be a better way than how I'm doing it. And I've been busy researching and the research has left me feeling overwhelmed with options. And I feel stuck with how to move forward. Do I...
