    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Forum Newbie
Got my hands on a 1978 GS 750 that was not well maintained, but not too beat up. So going to be lurking and asking newb questions about this bike, and consider this your warning. :p

Thanks Guys!
 
Welcome Newb. Heck we're nosey, little more info., new to bikes or old bike guy? Bike running or not running? been stored inside or under shade tree? maroon or blue "C" model or black "E" or non oem paint? See warned we may be nosey.. Some here may say pictures "required" but really just appreciated.
 
Welcome. Yes pics are required. We let rphillips get away with not posting any because he says he’s old and doesn’t know how to with his flip phone. Yes, we would like very much to see pics. If you can’t see my name and a bunch of links at the bottom of my post, you need to turn on signatures. Go to the top of the page and pull down your username. Go to Profile. Edit Settings. Account tab. If not already checked, Check the boxes to view signatures and view avatars. Below that is a link to create a signature. Create your signature then be sure to save changes.​

Where in Eastern PA are you?
 
Hi GS-Newb and welcome to the forum.

I had a 1978 GS 750E back in the early 90's. Totally stock except for a 4 to 1 exhaust. Only needed to have one valve shim replaced due to a tight valve. It rode faster than I was prepared to push it.

You'll find tons of knowledge on this forum and, as previously stated, pics are almost mandatory here. ;)

Cheers
