    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.

So i am new here and to the gs motorcycles. I have built a few bikes but no 750s like I have now. I have a question concerning the starter and starter drive side. I started the bike and the starter went to hell. Its like something didnt disengage in the starter or a gear didnt disengage. Are these starters suppose to free spin after start with engine speed or is there a gear that is suppose to disengage? Oh its a 78-79 gs 750 any info would be great.
Thanks.

Yes it should free spin It could be the starter clutch or the starter soloniod. I would sugest a visit to Home depot & the lawn mower dept for a new soloniod & clean the start button switch. Depending on how long it was forced to run you may need a new starter. When the starter is out reach in thru the hole & feel the starter gear IT should only turn in one direction..
