    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.

hi there,

Own a 78 gs 750.
I wanted to replace my gound wire attached to the engine because it was corroded.
But when i removed the bolt retaining the ground wire, the one on top of the crankcase, at the back underneath the carbs, I heard a noice like there was coming a lot of air out of it!
Doesn't seem normal to me or is it???

Thanks,

Marcel
 
If that was the first time that bolt was ever removed since factory assembly, yes. The factory used to put a LITTLE bit of water in the bottoms of the holes so that the compression, or lack thereof, would hold the bolts tight. This is also why you find some corrosion on the very bottom threads of some Suzuki case bolts. Ray.
