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.

gs750 1977 whirring noise

On the left side of the tesioner theres a jam nut and screw arrangement...loosen the jam nut and bottom out the screw. Then turn the screw backm out about 1/3 turn and tighten the jam nut. Thism will at least insure the guide rod isnt impinged. Start the bike and see what happens. The only other thing thats spinning if the bikes not being driven is the rotor. Take a metal rod and put it on the cover and then listen at the other end of the rod..thats a poor mans engine stethescope.
 
I don't think you could hear those until the chain got too lose, then it would rattle from the top end.


A GS that isn't making noise isn't running.
 
is it possible to run an engine with the stator cover off cos although it was checked it sounds nearer to that area?
 
Make sure the keeper plate that holds the stator wire back inside the cover is as tight and flush to the cover as you can get it. I had this happen once on a Gs1000. The rotor was rubbing that keeper plate and made the same noise. No damage done, but check it.

Also keep in mind, if you didn't know, that the 8v 750 had straight cut gears so they sound a little "whiney" compared to others..
 
The stator is oil colled and theres a big hole just around the connector gear between the starter and the starter clutch. in "THEORY" if a way was found to plug the oil journal from pumpingb oil oput on the floor, then yes you could start the bike with the kick starter...The stator cover acts as one half of the piloting holes for the connector gear axle, so youd have to start it with the kicker with the stator cover off.
