    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.

GS750E 1984 - Front forks seem low down

The front forks seem to compressed. Is there a way to add air to lift the front up? Or should I install
a spacer inside the fork tube to compress the springs a bit more?

I noticed there are holes in the fork tubes that line up with the brackets.
I noticed this when I installed a set of lower handle bars on the bike (bars from a 1995 interceptor).
I had to ensure the lower bracket covered the fork tube holes to keep the air pressure up.

Also there is a tube that runs from one fork tube to the other. I don't see a way to add air.

Any help will be appreciated.

On the 650, there is an air nipple on one of the forks/triple tree, behind a cover, that will look a little a flat-domed nut. It's easy to miss if you aren't looking for it. I thought I had a photograph on Photobucket, but no luck.
 
Hi,

Thanks for the tip. Found it...the cap looks exactly like one of the bolts that hold the forks in place...

Thanks alot for the tip...Dave
