    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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.

I haven't had an operational GS for a while but picked up am 80' GS750 over the weekend. One owner bike, last registered in 89' but said he got it going in around 2000-2001 for a while and rode it around the neighborhood some.

A friend was looking for information from me on this model and my 16 valve knowledge is limited but long story short he had to do a pass so I picked it up. Somewhere I also have a 650E model too but haven't touched it for a while. Think I'll concentrate on this 750 for the winter.
 
On posting pics to this site: Most use another site to host the pics. Imgur is popular. I have written instructions. Linked in my signature. Flickr works similarly. It's not as straightforward as one would think. You need to copy the BBCode of the image and paste that into your post. You can paste up to 10 images in one post doing it this way.
 
You'll be impressed when you see how the 16 valves are adjusted, for me way better than the shims. The little tool to hold the adjuster while tightening the lock nut is not totally necessary, but sure makes it wayyy easier. Welcome back, & yes pictures are almost mandatory.

Looking forward to digging into it. I thought they had the pictures on this site finally fixed, guess I was wrong.
 
Hey Jeff. Welcome back. Nothing like having a bike project in the garage for the long, cold winter.
 
Welcome back. I've ridden one of those, it's a different ride to the 8v if you've not ridden one before :)
