    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, just purchased my first GS today. Its a 1982 GS750T.

IMG_20170802_174743.jpg

I've owned 2 GT's before, a 550 and 380, but this is my first go-round with a GS. The bike was in great shape when I bought it. The bike was owned by two brothers over the last 20 years. First one bought the bike rode it about 10 years, then sold it to his brother who let the bike sit inside under a tarp for 10 years before selling it back to the other brother, who then got it back roadworthy with new tires, brakes, new fork seals, and carbs rebuilt. Paint on the tank and side covers is almost immaculate, seat is in near perfect condition. I've put about 200 miles on it the past 3 days. So far only issues that I've noticed is the clutch cable is a bit frayed near where it connects to the engine, so I've got a new one ordered, and the drive chain is making a bit more noise than I feel it should, probably needs to be replaced. Also has a slight clunking sound at idle which I think may be the clutch hub nut after reading through the forums a bit.

Anyways, this seems like an awesome community, just wanted to introduce myself and my bike.
