    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.

Need input on a 83 GS750E.

I bought mine a year ago and it suits me very well. It is smooth and solid. It also has a unique hybrid place in the Suzuki history being in the cross-over generation of air/oil cooled mono shocks, plus it has very distinctive and too many of us attractive lines.
After some exciting experiences I decide it was time in December to recondition the 76K km front end and after application of $ it has valve emulators (which basically cut out the anti dive mech) new seal, bushes, head bearings and front springs toughened up to .85Kg/m and consequently is now much nicer to ride.
I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine !

Could you post pics of your valve emulators? i'm curious to see how the anti dive was eliminated.
 
Valve emulators - ESD

Valve emulators - ESD

http://www.shocktreatment.com.au/emulator.html In order for them to work the existing system is 90% disabled by drilling out the oil control hole in the damping rod. As this lower end of the system is integrated with the antidive mechanism there is no longer enough pressure to activate it. So altho it looks the same it does nothing.
I had so many changes made simultaneously that I could not pin down the difference they made in themselves but I need all the help I can get !
Cheers,
Tiny
 
Oops, forgot.

She's not terribly pretty, but she will be. Lots of work ahead.

She's not terribly ugly, either. These are some of my favorite old Zooks, along with the 83 1100E and of course Kan-o-tuna's (yeah, I'm a product of the 80's!!).

Looks like a nice project, and one I'd like to have in my garage!
 
Thanks for the kind words. I can't wait to get started on it!

As soon as the old 750 in the background is fully parted and gone I can start on this one. Learned the hard way a few years back that having two bikes apart at once is an extremely bad idea. :)

Why are you parting out the older 750? It doesn't look bad at all. Is there some major internal engine damage?

Edit: Never mind, I found out why. http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/showthread.php?p=945518#post945518
