    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.

... or what is left of it. 3 disc brakes, 18" rear cast rim, 19" front cast rim, 16V engine. What year and model? I cannot seem to find the title. :o

Thanks guys!

I'd go with a GS(X)750 E and it being either an ET (1980) or and EX(1981) from the shape of the tank and the engine number.

Look like it hard a burn out in the wrong sense of the word.

Looks like you were lucky to find the bike!
 
The PO told me that the Harley guys at the local watering hole set it on fire because it was inferior to their bikes.
Of course, they were misguidedly incorrect! :mad:

Choochlist said it ran when parked......minor cosmetic damage, needs a new seat.:D

If that S#it happened to MY bike the circle-jerking hole in question would be set fire to >{
 
The "X" indicates that it is an 1981 model.
As to the other bikes, they would be picking pieces of them out of you know where! ;)

That is not correct, my 1980 also starts off GS75X. To tell for sure look on the frame, the 1981 will have a VIN that starts JS1GR.. the 1980 does not.
 
That IS still there, I'll take a pic tomorrow. ;)
The tag, was burned off. :mad:

Eric
 
What are you planning on doing with it?

If you are planning on trying to get it running again, it would be much less expensive to buy another bike.
 
If you bring that POS to the rally, you are sure to win Ugliest Bike award.

Does this help narrow down the year?

Thanks,

Eric
 
Not to be a jerk but why do you care what year it is?
 
If it is one of the one's with the zero oil to the cams syndrome, I won't bother with it.
Also, wouldn't the year help narrow down a parts search or are they all the same?

It is. The 80-82 and 83 "T" model motors are all possibly subject to the oiling problem. The 83 and on 700/750 motors are a complete redesign, look nothing like that motor, and you'd know it wasnt the same if you saw it. Id stay FAR FAR away from that motor/bike if you were looking for something to restore...that thing is nothing short of a money pit, far too much damage, and return value is very small in resale, and its not a bike i would keep as a daily rider with the possible motor issues...
 
Thank you TCK, that is exactly what I needed to know. ;)
Any problems with the '84 GPZ750's that are known?
(Got one of those also.)
