    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.

Hi, I just bought a 83 GS750ES and signed up for this site. It has a couple of problems though. The speedo isn't accurate. The tac doesn't work. The fuel and oil temp gages are frozen. And the easiest way to get the bike into neutral is from 2nd. If there is anyone that can help me out with a way to fix these problems that would be great.
 
hey fella - welcome to GSR.... if you cant get an answer searching a lot of smart cookies here can help - erm I'm noot one of em lol

glad ur home in one piece...

will be listening to the neutral select problem too - my old 1000 is an absolute B!tch to find neutral - I pass through 1st to 2nd and back several times before it selects 8-[
 
Neutral selection problems are often resolved by correct drive chain tensioning.

thx m8 - will check the manual for that... I had assumed it was worn or sloppy box issues - and with a bike this old I expected some quirks...:?

cheers

Hey HS...Welcome to the GSR. It may be easier to get a cluster off Ebay than to fix the one you got...that said, I would still tear into it and clean/lube eveything that moves. Clean and lube the speedo/tach cables. Check the wiring for fuel/oil gages....oh and don't discuss torque wrenches with Dad ;)
 
First thing to look for would be power into the gauges. Clean all connections on the bike; just for fun of cause:-D

I bought a clicker, I'm with it. :-D

Glad to see my pestering got him to join. Welcome to site Matt.
 
Welcome aboard buddy. I see that your Steve's son. I just want you to know we wont hold that against you :lol:

I myself have trouble finding neutral unless I get it while I am still moving.
 
It is much easier to get into neutral after you hit the kill switch.
