    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.

Getting back into it after 19 years. I can't get a spark on the 750 and I keep hearing about the stator problem. Not overly familiar with this part can some explain a bit about so I can move forward?
I have found a second 750EF with front end damage so I'm hoping to get one working bike out of this.[-o<

Mine has had two regulator-rectifiers die, the original stator is still in it. Those are both parts of the charging system and would have nothing to do with the ignition system. Check your fuses and wiring harness condition and conections, (also the grounds) A factory service manual would be a great investment.
 
I've had no luck finding anything on the internet or with manuals. At the Supershow I was told the 1985 750EF was too limited a production run so nobody has anything outside of a factory original. I would appreciate any leads on a manual.
Can you tell me anything about a stator?

Thx,

Kurt
 
I have a 1985 gs 700E, and dig dug has a manual on his website for the bike. I would assume these bikes would be pretty similar. Here is a link to his site http://www.freewebtown.com/123jumps/motorcycle.htm look at the bottom of the page and click do download the manuals. (thanks dug) Mabey also try to see if there is anything wrong with your signal genorator. (under a round cover on the right side of the bike, if your sitting on it. It should have 3 bolts holding it on and says suzuki, if it is anything like mine.) Just a thought...
Take it easy,
Nick
 
That sounds great, thanks for the tips and I'll keep you posted.
