    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.

Hey folks, can anyone remember, on an '83 GSX750ES, if the idler gear between starter and crank has a thrust washer/shim fitted? It's the gear that runs on the shaft held by the crankcase and stator cover. I've just gone to put the stator cover etc. back on and there isn't one on mine. I've checked the manual and parts fiches, but information on it seems pretty scarce.

I've already found a few obvious cock-ups from a previous owner and this could be the next in a long line. :confused:

Anyone know?

Cheers Agemax, doesn't look like you can get them separately. Anyone got spares?
 
ah, yours is an 83 so no shims. the earlier GSX's did have shims.
you should change your sig to show what year your bike is so we know for future reference.
GSX750 by itself covers a whole range of models!
 
is that ure bike getting built in that link. With the forks and the spacer placement, That would take a good 25-35mm from ure fork travel wont it?.
 
I see that you are fabbing up a fuel tank and tail for it. It is the tank and bodywork on this model that made me want one back in late 1982. I've changed mine alot since then, but those parts will allways be on it.
 
Yes, that's the beauty. Spacer length in the forks is experimental at this point, but I will be reducing its travel, mounting the forks flush and adding clip-ons below the yoke.

Regarding the bodywork, although the tank is intact, the plastics had been sunbathing for far too long in the Australian sun and aren't much use anymore. The bike was ready for the crusher to be fair, so I'm more than happy to dabble with customising it.

Having always been a stickler for keeping things as standard as possible, this is a big deviation for me. It's all about learning. Fabricating a tank and tail unit is going to be hard call, but I'm only passing this way once so want to give it a try. I'd like a GSX1100 tank for it as they look quite nice, but they also seem to be quite pricey (in Oz anyway). This might be a good thing because it forces me to try my hand at knocking one up. My artistic ability isn't up to much though so I can see a bit of trial and error, and much swearing, about to commence.
 
Cheers king. This forum is great, years of experience to fill in the gaps where the manuals fall short.
