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.

Ok so i gotta pull and rebuild the carbs for my gs 750... Someone fill me in on how the heck ya get that nightmare of an air box outta da damn way?

thanks in advance
 
You need to loosen the air filter box, loosen the intake c-clamps and the air box c-clamps, then take out the carbs.....simple eh :p taking the carbs out is the simple parts......putting them back in is another matter.
 
I don't remember the specifics of your bike, but it might help to loosen the front half of the rear fender, then loosen the air filter box and slide it back toward the fender.

Just in case you did not know, the plastic part of the rear fender has a couple of tabs, much like the side covers, that push into grommets in the frame. Push the two sides of the fender toward each other, the tabs will pop out, allowing you to move the fender back about half an inch. Yeah, it's not much, but it's enough to help get the carbs out.

Loosen everything up, Pull out the filter part of the air box, make sure the mounting blots for the front box are taken off, now loosen all the carb clamps front and back. push air box back as far as you can. this breaks the seal on the carb. break the seal on the throat rubber boots , remove the outer most boots. then wiggle out the carbs, oh yeah remove the throttle and choke cables. Takes a bit of work to angle them out. Stick some rags in the head openings so you don't loose something. To reinstall, slide the carbs back in, fit the carbs into the rubber boots of the air box and tighten some, then start in the middle with the carb boots and make sure the boots align then do the two outside boots. Check alignment and tighten everything down. Use a bit of silicone spray on the inside of the boots to make it easier to get the boots on the carbs. New rubber boots make the job much better. Chances are you probably need them anyways.

What Mr Bill said.
The Airbox has a couple of bolts up top that attach it to the frame.
They are located under the plate on top.
I marked general area in red.
