    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.

81 GS750E - Minor rebuild questions?

So my "new" 81 GS750E leaks oil from every (presumably original) gasket on the engine. I was thinking this winter I'd break it down & replace the gaskets, if nothing else.. and give everything a good cleaning. Any suggestions on places to get parts (other than ebay, though suggest resellers on ebay if you wish..)?

In addition, beyond the usual carb work and the gaskets and checking valve clearances and tensioning the timing chain (and checking timing) -- any other parts that I should measure and/or just replace "because I'm in there" ?

Thanks all
 
Go with Suzuki gaskets
Check the clutch basket for loose springs on the backing plate and a wobble. The clutch basket bolts do tend to loosen.
If the bike has sat I'd check all the tranny and crank seals including the shifter seal. There is also an o-ring on the starter I'd just replace.
 
Besides all the engine stuff mentioned, don't forget the electrical system and the brakes/wheels/tires. :D

Yup I'm more of an engine guy. Capable with electrics but it's a little messy. Jim (posplayr) can't look.
 
It is VERY possible that your head gasket leak is just the orings gone bad on the front 2 center head nuts. Ray.
