    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.

Just picked up a 1981 GS750E, it came w/o a battery. Been looking for suitable batteries, but all of them seem to be too tall for the area below the filter box. I measure 5"-5.5" of height allotted w/ the filter box in place. Can any of you GS750E owners help me out with the actual battery size that fits in below the filter box? I hate to buy a battery, then it doesn't fit. I know it should be a 14aH, but they all seem to be too tall.

Thanks

Joe
 
Didn't mean to be short but I was posting from my iPhone.

The thing is, it appears the same battery is spec'd for several bikes in your stable. Pull one of those and see what works....:confused:
 
You're right, good thinking. Never thought of that. That's why I ask questions....
 
That battery is extremely common and should cross-reference to something at any given auto parts store, batteries plus, heck even Walmart. (I bought one at Sam's Club.)

If you plan to keep the bike for a while and don't want to bother with recharging the battery every month in the winter, the guys here recommend an AGM battery. More expensive than a traditional battery but less maintenance and will last longer.

If you have a Batteries Plus+ go there and get an AGM battery, it says Duracell on it though is made by Yuasa.
