    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.

Also does anyone know if i can drop in the 83GS1100E when this motor dies without to many mods thx.
 
From the 1983 GS750E(ES) service manual:

Valve clearances (when cold), inlet & exhaust: 0.09 - 0.13 millimeters (0.004 - 0.005 inches).

The '83 750E (Great and Awesome Bike BTW \\:D/ ) uses Tappet adjusters with a lock nut.

It was suggested to me to use 2 feeler gages. Reason being is that there are 2 tappets on the same Rocker arm. Forgive me if my nomenclature is incorrect. I tend to just label things the way I feel they should be.. :-D

Anyway, since there are 2 on the same rocker arm - you can get a false measurement as the rocker will pivot slightly. I had to adjust my valves twice for this reason.

So, you put a feeler gage in each side and adjust 1 at a time and nothing but a thing.

Also, I set mine to the .005". I've been told to set them on the loose side as they tend to tighten up.

Good luck.

And when you need Rubber - go with Pirelli Sport Demons. They stick like glue on that bike. ;-)
