    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.

Restore, daily driver, or sell?

No, the bike got called a 'Ladies model' you just ride it. ;)

The base gasket is leaking on it. For now it's on the back burner and yes, I'll be checking the valve guides while it's apart.

Alright - I have searched and searched both this website and BassCliff's site to try and get the stock tire numbers. I went to BassCliff's owners manual and then used the tire web link his site provides and made the conversion. However here is what I have and I know this cannot be correct; since my rims appear to the same size circumference.

The manual BassCliff provided for GS750T says the tire sizes are:
Front 3.50 H 19 4PR
Rear 4.50 H 17 4PR

Conversion per the Tire web link on BassCliff's site yields:
Front 100/90 19
Rear 120/90 17

All I want to do is replace the dang tires with the factory specified sizes. I have no idea what the previous owner might have thrown on there - his handy work is still causing me grief. I do not want to add a bigger rear tire; I do not want to change the handling, etc. Each time I search on here I have dozens of threads referencing the above but i can't seem to locate one person saying what the factory tires are -- Please help.

Thanks,
Markus

You can look at the parts fiches
buying tires? well, I warned you. You are commited to wearing them out now....I looked at your pictures linked in your profile and the ones you have on now look ok, so just replace them with the same size unless they are obviously rubbing on the swing arm...and watch out if considering a wider or taller tire per the swingarm... It can be a little difficult to find exact replacements per the book and not much choice unless you spend big bucks especially as a pair.Cheapest may be to mixnmatch among the less-pricey manufacturers to get the sizes ....the rim size you have should be seen on the rim.
Using the parts fiches from BassCliff's site I have it as:
GS750LN
Front 3.25-19" IRC or Dunlop
Rear 4.5 H19 IRC or Dunlop

You have that right. Lots of people use 130 on the back, because it is more available. I think the bike steers better and is more neutral with the 120. 130 is fine though.
