    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.

A Milestone Reached on my 86 GSX750ESD

So today my Odometer clicked over 43991km. So what you may ask?
GSX750-AFTER3.jpg

We need to go back a few steps (and years)
 
I then restored it through 2013 / 2014 to come out with this (including a new instrument cluster and odometer reading of 59945km


​
 
I have ridden it most weeks since then and went round the clock (sort of) in 2018. The only upgrade was to replace the old GSX11 Lunchbox headlight with a Round one.




So that brings us to yesterday. A little maths is required here i'm afraid

76888 - 59945 = 16943 (the km that disapeared when i replaced instrument cluster)

Add it on to todays number of 43991 = 60934 + 100,000 as its been around the clock = 160934 = 100,000 Miles in old money.

Not bad for a bucket of bolts I wasnt sure was even going to go when i paid $800 for it all those years ago.

In terms of maintenance I have changed oil & filter every 6,000km. It has been through a couple of regulators / rectifiers and an alternator.
I checked the valve clearances about 50,000km ago but when i was tightening the valve cover bolts I broke 2 of them so I have left it alone since then.​
