    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...

Ok guys I have a 1977 GS750. One website shows a spacer between the caliper bracket and the chain tensioner another exploded view from the GS manual shows no spacer. I am haveing trouble with drag on the rear wheel and keeping the brake side chain adjuster from slacking off.
Should there be a spacer between the caliper bracket and the chain tensioner or NO?

Thank you
 
I have not looked at any diagrams, but it's really rather simple.

ALL the space needs to be filled up. If you have a gap somewhere or the caliper is not centered over the disk, you need a spacer.

Hi babes.
I think Steve.is right.. There is a spacer between tensioner and brake caliper bracket... About 4-5 mm thick if memory serves.

Good luck.

I can't believe that no one has taken a picture for you by now.
Anyway, this is how it is supposed to look only MUCH cleaner.

I see the difference now. My caliper bracket is wider than the one in the pic. Maybe it's a 1977 only kind of thing. I will send a post a picture soon.
