    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.

1977 GS750B electrical issues

Hi,

I'm new, be gentle!

I just got this bike, 2-23-2025

Previous original owner told me it was electrical, so I have attended YouTube University! Haha

Basically there are these components, correct?

Stator
Points
Regulator
Rectifier
Coils
Plug wires
Spark plugs
Ignition switch
-all wiring

Am I forgetting anything?
 
Battery...

What might have happened. The rectifier quite, the battery died and the person parked it. No problem a easy fix. Do a search, you'll find out all about it.
Good luck getting it running.

Points? What are points grandpa?

condensors also. I would do the SH775 rectifier regulator swap and do away with the junk suzuki crap. Fully charge a new battery before using it. Gers the source for manuals and tutorials. Do your own carbs or if your not comfy with all that send them to me to be rebuilt. If youdecide to go at it you DO NOT need kits. Ally you need is a VM oring kit from NESSISM here and float bowl gaskets.

And youll see there is only 1 inline glass fuse. Do away with that and wire in a blade fuse holder. Solder all splices and use heat shrink tubing
