    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.

Dyno on a 1978GS 750

Ok guys, my bike is almost done at the shop (replacing engine seals)... So I'll have her back today or tomorrow. (pray for the rain to stop!) Mechanic says everything looks pretty damn good and the valves look barley broke in! So we spent an hour talking performance upgrades and custom work (much to my wife's chagrin, I'm thinking of not keeping the bike stock)... Anyhow, it got me to thinking about the WV Mountainfest rally comming up the end of July. They will have a Dyno there and will test anything for around $25 (you get the results and a t-shirt lol). I can't decide if I'm going to put my baby up there or not. If I do, what range should I expect? The bike is currently stock and probably the only thing that will be done to it before the show is a new air filter (unless I go to the K&N pods and rejet).

Anyone dyno their 750 or know what the stock #'s were?
 
my 79, bone stock ran 54 HP last year on the dyno, torque was in the mid 30's I believe.
 
Hmmm... If I get brave enough to trust the yahoos running the dyno with my baby, I'll post what I get.

It was one of the worst feelings seeing some guy riding your baby to red line, thrashing the hell out of it on a dyno. It was rough man!
 
LOL, hope I'm not too off color with this, but I did get a kick out of a harley guy that had his road king up on the dyno last year.... He made the comment after picking his bike back up... "They road her hards and put her away wet.... and all I got was a lousy tee shirt!"
