    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.

gs750e engine leak - Upside down bolt on front of engine leaking just slightly

1981 GS750E

On the front of the engine there is an upside down screw that goes between the crank and head. It leaks from the top as it is an open threaded hole. See picture.

Have had this leak for a while now. Thought it was head gasket and just replaced, but leak remains.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any thoughts as to how to get it to stop? Engine runs great otherwise.

I had the same issue on my 750 after complete rebuild- it was the O-rings on the two head bolts. I replaced them on the build bit did not oil them. Once replaced and oiled the leak stopped completely.
 
Thats great. I will try that! Where did you buy those o-rings? ebay? Finding parts locally has proven difficult.
 
wow, tc80211 you name threw me off so bad, i usually go through the threads and read stuff when i am bored, i was sitting there thinking 'i didnt post this, why is my name there' lmao. it threw me for a loop
 
Yeah, it's Suzuki Part # 09280-17002
Fits a multitude of other bikes- Dealer should be able to get this. I was able to find some NOS on Ebay for 2$. Sure Z1 would have it as well.
