    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Hello all I want to paint my rims on my 1983 gs750 and want to remove the brake rotors are they just pressed on after removing the bolts. I want to remove them but don't know if the will just slide back on. Thanks mike
 
Yes, they'll just slide back on. They're a slightly tight fit, and if there's any corrosion they may be a little tighter, but it's a close slip fit, not a press fit.
 
No they're not pressed on. Maybe a bit of corrosion keeping them on there. A few gentle taps with plastic mallet should loosen them up. If they're still stuck maybe some penetrating oil and let them sit a while.
 
OK that is exactly what I wanted to know so take them off with a rubber mallet and the back on with one you think it will work
 
it will work, and if you clean the parts and don't get paint on the rotor or the hub it will go on nice and smooth, some very very fine sandpaper to clean any crap off and you will be good to go...
 
Thanks guys I got them off now that I am in there I might as well grease the hubs any particular way of greasing it.
 
Should be sealed bearings. Just wipe the axle down and apply a thin film of fresh grease when you reinstall the wheel.
