    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.

Figured why gs750 not starting

Having read all this thread about the GS(X)750 motor problem I am wondering what the click noise was. I'm wondering if the cam chain guide has broken!

As for your timing lines the chain can be less than the service limit but not more so it seems that your chain has plenty of live left in it. A good sign. Secondly, go by the 20 pin rule than the position where the arrows line up on the exhaust cam shaft. As long as 1-4 on the points/ignition timing is correct and the intake arrow is correct 20 pins will be correct timing.

Your butterfly's being closed only happens as you've disconnected them from the throttle stops on the twist grip. Off the bike they are normally closed. She might run fast to start with when you start her up again.

A good piece of advice is sort out one problem first than doing lots of jobs and getting lost on the original problem. You still haven't found why the bikes compression has dropped so much over 5 months standing. That should be your priority to be riding again. She worked before you laid her up so the setting and such like were OK.
