    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.

Smaller rear sprocket.

One of my GS 750's has an unknown mod that has uprated the torque. 5th gear is like 3rd - 4th gear and it will pop wheelies in 3rd. this is all well and good but i would go with changing the rear sprocket for a smaller one giving it a higher ratio through all the gears. I am having difficulty getting info on what sprockets are available and where to acquire them. I live in the UK any help appreciated.
Advised to start a new thread for this.
 
Lower rpm desired? Try this!

Lower rpm desired? Try this!

I converted my 82 750 EZ from 630 to 530 chain, choosing an 18 tooth front and a 40 tooth rear sprocket. This dropped my engine rpm's an average of 1000 to 1200 rpm in each gear, and made the bike much more enjoyable to ride (plus, my gas mileage has increased to 53 miles per U.S. gallon!) My engine rpm is around 2800 rpm's at 55 mph (88 kph.)

I bought the 530 sprockets and X-ring chain from Z1 Enterprises. They did a great job of listening to my description of too high rpm's in all gears, and my desire to gear the bike so that highway riding was more enjoyable with less vibration.

Feels like a new motorcycle now and I could not be happier with the gearing.
