    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.

Hey, all. Finally finished my GS(X) 750 rebuild. Took her out for a flogging and she stood up well. Here are some pics. Any tips on some cosmetic upgrades would be appreciated..... also, what is the ideal oil temp for these engines????
 
oil temp?

oil temp?

Say, very pretty bike!

But, I have a silly question: how would you know the oil temp even if we did know what an optimum reading was? Is there a cool hidden gauge I don't know about someplace?

I thought optimum oil temp was anything low enough to keep the little red OIL light from coming on...

starting in 1983 the 750E and 1100E came with a oil temp gauge, it is not to hard to retrofit one of these clusters to another model and wire in the sending unit.
there are also aftermarket temp gauges available.

200-240*F is ideal
 
oil temp guage

oil temp guage

this is a 1982 gsx 750 australian model. It has a fuel guage and a oil temp guage. it even has a spedo and a taco :). my engine sits around 110 degrees celcius. Just wondering if this was normal and should i avoid having the bike idling with out riding it flat out to get the wind pumping through the fins??? Sorry but this is the first air cooled engine i have ever built.....
