    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...

    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.

Well I have this project, and the breakdown is underway, anyho, the GS750 had been siting for 4 years at least ,
I cleaned the carbs and luckily the bike had been drained of all fuel, becouse the guy who owned it before me decided to paint the tank Badly, anyhow there seems to a oil leak and it seems to be comming from exhaust port #1,
The guy put the Header on with NO exhaust gaskets. luckily he had only ridden up and down the road, and like I said the oil seems to be comming out of the exhaust port #1,
I guess this is a valve seal, this allso the side the bike leans to when on the side stand,
Im planning a Cafe Racer for this machine, definately Robinjo's 750 influenced my decision.
Ill takes some pictures of the progress, and I guess Im gonna mock the bike up before I rip in to the top end.
do you think I need to rip in to the top end or do you think I should run it for a while and see?
 
You know, that oil from the exhaust port may be water and combustion products. Take a really close look at this substance. A leak in the exhaust donut could if the bike is not truly warm, be the aforementioned water from combustion and carbon.
 
Cafe racers rock. I love mine... what a fun bike to ride!
