    '78 GS750 Gas Tank Leak

    I appreciate everyone's input. I'll try and do some more researching on the suggestions. Has anyone had any luck with aftermarket tanks and their fitment? I'm considering that as a possible shorter-term solution.

    '78 GS750 Gas Tank Leak

    Oh wise men of old, hear my cry! Recently found my tank dripping gas and after some investigating, it seems gas is seeping out of the circled area, in between the tank and the tab where the tank sits against the rubber mounts. It's not a fast leak, held it so the gas would pool in that area and...

    7/10 conversion questions

    I appreciate the input! That's kinda interesting, I'm fairly new to engine swapping and I happened to stumble upon some threads about the 7/10, one guy on here and a couple threads on OldSchoolSuzuki.

    7/10 conversion questions

    Wasn't sure which thread to post in, so going with general. My '78 750 engine bit the dust, and I'm looking at putting in a '79 1000 engine in the frame. I've seen this engine swap around the internet, but can't for the life of me find what possible frame modifications I would have to do to set...

    78 GS750 Warped Front Rotor

    I've been having front brake issues for a while and narrowed the problem to a warped rotor. The previous owner installed a single disc 2000 CBR1100 Blackbird rotor in place of the stock rotors. I've been looking for replacements but I don't know a whole lot about proper fitment of aftermarket...

    Oil leak near left-most spark plug

    My bike is a 78 gs750 and there's a small oil leak around my left most spark plug when running the bike. I replaced all plugs yesterday but the leak persists so I figure it's not coming from them. I tried uploading a picture but it failed. Does anyone know what it could be? Thank you.

    High RPM

    Sorry I'm not good at explaining things well. I remember my instructor said, "Press your handlebar to the right if you want to go left." At really low speeds you can turn the front wheel the direction but at higher speeds you have to point the wheel in the opposite direction. I think it has to...

    I've taken the rider course before I got my license, it was required in Cali if you were under 21

    Haha yeah I do know about the lean the opposite way you want to turn. Thanks for the test :)

    High RPM

    Thank you so much! I'll test the clutch slippage today. If that's the issue, do you know the best way to fix it? Also thanks for the new learner bike recommendations :)

    High RPM

    Should've clarified the issue sorry. Yes, the first scenario. I would get about 3.5-4k rpm at 50mph and now I get 4rpm at 45. Not a huge difference but still noticeable.

    High RPM

    Thanks for the fast response! My dad said to check the air filter so I'm planning on doing that. Just to clarify, I was trying to teach her on my bike(def gonna start out on a much slower and lighter bike now lol) so she was only going about 5 mph max when it fell on the right side.

    High RPM

    Hello! A few days ago my girlfriend dropped my '78 GS750 and although nothing seems to be wrong with it, the bike has been getting higher RPMs when riding at speed. When idling there's no difference, just higher RPMs when riding. I'm still pretty new when it comes to maintenance and diagnosing...
