    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.

The things you find - FZ750

I said on another thread I had an FZ750 motor here to pull down with gearbox problems.
Here's some of what I found - may interest the two of you with them.

Firstly the box - jumping out of gear and refusing to select 5th. All the selector fork pins which engage the drum were badly worn. Sorry the pic I took wasn't good enough to post. Comparing the box which came out with the good used one going in I noticed a difference around 1st gear on the output shaft. It runs on a bush pressed on the shaft up against a shoulder. The bearing then butts up against the end of the bush. On this one the bush was not fully home. The result of this was an extra .020in of endfloat....not good. the pic shows the two shafts and the difference is visible.This alone would have given selection and jumping problems.

Secondly the head...pulled the valves and to my surprise there's a broken valve guide. The valve is dead straight and shows no signs of ever having seized in the guide. It's obviously been like that for a while as there's a lot of carbon on that valve and the break shows peening where it's been hitting piece on piece. A mystery. Not hard putting in a new guide and cutting the seat to match.
