    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.

    GS750T carb uh oh!

    The pilot jets are accessed by taking off the bowls. They are capped with a rubber plug next to the main jet. I think you are talking about the enricher screws (Probably wrong term). At any rate, your problem now is getting the stuff out of it. the threads may or may not be damaged. I'll...

    2nd Vin Number location

    I ran into a problem in my county a few years ago and just went to a little rural town in another county about 30 miles away. They were very lax in the smaller town. Don't know if that is a possibility for you.

    VM Carb question.

    You say idles good, is that at startup? After it is warm is it idling at a lower rpm. Idle should be set after bike as warm.

    How is the sight glass attached?

    Press fit if I recall. You can put some kind of sealant around the perimeter as you press it in. I did one years ago and it seems like I used something the same diameter to rest on the perimeter as I tapped it in. Maybe a short nipple of PVC pipe or something like that. You'll probably get...

    wire harness burnt out?(overcharged)

    If your bike isn't charging, riding it will run the battery down. It takes juice for the plugs to fire. Take your battery to an auto parts store to have it tested (after you have properly charged it) to see it it is any good. That test isn't always perfect but it's better than nothing. If...

    Bike quit while running harder then normal

    I am absolutely not an expert but it sounds like it was starving for fuel when put in high demand. Do you have an in-line fuel filter? Is the main jet maybe not up to it?
