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.

    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.

was tosing around the idea of putting a oil cooler on my 77 gs 750 for longevity and to prevent overheating... is there a kit out there or can you put 1 off a 1000 on in place of the oil pressure sensor and still use the factory pressure switch ? or is the oil cooler idea over kill for the 750 block?
 
These early GS engines didn't need oil coolers thirty years ago, in the tropics, or the deserts, anywhere. With so much cooling fin area the oil just doesn't get that hot. Oil is much better now. An oil cooler is an oil leak waiting to happen.
But if you must there are lots of threads about it if you search.
 
im good just was wondering if the oil system was under engineered in 1977 cause i see them on newer models witch like you say don't have cooling fins
 
The 77-79 750 was an over-engineered, damn near bullet proof motor. It uses a low pressure high volume oiling system lubricating a roller bearing crank (very expensive to produce and highly durable). New model bikes are water cooled (many are any way) and don't require the cooling fins of air cooled bikes.
