    Handguards on a GS?

    Hand Guards Hand Guards I put these on last winter and I think they took 5 degrees off of to my riding limit (commuted down to about 19 I think :clap:, but only for a few miles;)). Easy peasy to install, just like bar-ends. Got 'em from Twisted Throttle.

    New Bike Project!

    Front End Swap Front End Swap That's not a "T" model front end either. T's had a single disk and that looks like a pre 1982 wheel pattern. A front end change (upgrade?) that included the headlight & clocks might explain some of the wiring issues. Good Luck in your endeavor... Oh, and the...

    Show us your workstand

    Lift? Lift? I use this and the centerstand for anything on he front end :o. I had to mark it with a Sharpee "M/C Lift - DO NOT REMOVE" so one of my boys wouldn't use it or my wife wouldn't toss it :) And I use the centerstand alone for anything on the backend. Still hell on the knees...

    GS750EX refurbishing

    Mystery Wire Mystery Wire I just pulled the airbox on my E model for a peek and there's no wire connected to that location, it merely holds the clamp for the battery vent. And mine doesn't seem to have a wire that size anywhere. Have you tried to trace it down? Perhaps it's the ground for a...

    Video: is my tach broken?

    Speedometers and Tachs.. Speedometers and Tachs.. work off the same eddy-current principal. The only difference inside (on mine anyway) is the speedo has a gear to drive the odometer/tripmeter. Awful picture but I think you can make out the magnet and cup...

    Video: is my tach broken?

    Tach Problems Tach Problems Here's what I found when my 750E tach went wonky... The cable turns a magnet inside the gauge body. The magnet field creates an eddy current that turns a "cup" which is attached to a calibtrated coil spring that is attached to the needle of the gauge. My...

    starter nose o ring

    Starter O-Ring Starter O-Ring I went through this on my "T" model. I tried the ACE Hardware approach trying to save time, after all its just an O-ring, right ;). So I took the old one with me and tried to match it up. Too big... and even with all the cussin' & fussin', I couldn't get the...

    OEM Gaskets???

    "OEM" gaskets "OEM" gaskets Well I'm glad everyone here is satisfied that Suzuki brand gaskets will always be available :o. 'Cause I'm not looking forward to making gaskets and, yes I have Vesrahs in the garage as well (though I hope I won't have to use it as the last two leaked). I guess I...

    OEM Gaskets???

    Okay, I learned the hard way (twice):o that OEM valve cover gaskets are the way to go. No leaky, I likey... Partshark has always been my go-to for OEM stuff, followed by BikeBandit...but low and behold they've both quit carrying the valve cover gasket for my GS750EX. I checked my local...

    1980 750e rebuild

    It looks the PO pulled the carbs for re-jetting after installing the new Kerker... and never finished the job! Sweeeeet. Doesn't look like the OEM tires though :rolleyes:. What are you going to do with the pipe?

    Colortune quirk??

    Is the No. 2 pipe getting hot :-k? Sounds like you've got fire and no fuel. Plugged pilot perhaps? I have to add this though... I tried the Colortune on both my 750s. The only change I could make to the nice blue flame was if I ran the screws all the way in until the cylinder blacked out...

    First Time Valve Adjustment Opinions

    Colortune? Colortune? Let us know how this works out for you. After struggling with a Motion Pro manometer I went for the Colortune/Carbtune package. Since I really can't do much with the "highest RPM" method I was looking forward to trying the Colortune on both of my 750's. I could go lean...

    1980 Suzuki GS 750E Suspension Suggestions

    Clean the Damper Rod Clean the Damper Rod While getting my '81 E road ready after a nine year nap I found the front end to be pogo-ing really bad. What I found was that over 28 years solids built up enough in the forks that the damper rod orifices were plugged. I don't think they could have...

    Odometer Quit..750EX

    Last Saturday, on my way home from the ritual weekend ride, I noticed the odometer wasn't working. Thinking that maybe it was in a bind, I punched the reset. Nope, nada, nothing. The good news is I'll always have a low mileage vintage bike. The bad news is I don't like "broke stuff". So...
