    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

Just finished up the rebuild on my 1977 gs750. Thanks to everyones help on here. Is there anything I need to do/check before cranking it over for the first time? I replaced the rings,honed cylinders,valve lap and new seals. All oem gaskets were used. I turned the motor over by hand after installing the cams and turned fine. Im ready to start this thing up! Any suggestions before I go for it? Thanks again
 
Give each cylinder a little shot of oil if you havent already applied a good film during assembly. Crank it over by hand a few times to coat the cylinder walls with some oil.Start with the exhaust out the garage door for obvious reasons.
 
I did similar work last spring. Primed carbs, cranked for 3-5 seconds and it fired right up, My banshee yell probably let my neighbors know I did something difficult.
