    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.

I bought this Gs 750 to play with, it's been on the road 2 1/2 years and has been well maintained. It's been the previous owners weekend bike, bar hopper, This is what I've noticed.. when you push the start button, the starter seems to crank slowly, most bikes crank pretty quick (ALL), she will fire, then all is good. The last 3 days, its a slow start time, today, starter turned slow, then just the clicks from the solenoid, won't jump from it either. Do you think that the battery it a tad used up? About 3 years from what I'm told. i have a new one in a box that will fit a cb750, and has cross checked to fit this bike as well, should I charge this new one and try it out?. I think the starter should spin quick. She will fire up even with the slow start cycle but it takes a few trys. The carbs are updated makuni with new slides and upsized jets and uni pods, vance and hynes 4 in to 1, she runs strong but is being stuborn today.
