    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

Is there a way to tell the year of a gs head just by looking at it. Any markings?
 
You still looking for an early 750 head? Sadly, mine is still sitting on my shelf.
 
I'm asking about a '79 850 head , but will the 750 work. If so as I said in my PM I sent to you I would be interested. Do you have an answer to my guestion I posted here.

Yes there is a very good way to tell what kind of head you have. Post some pictures and you will be amazed at the wealth of knowledge other people have.


If that does not work for you then you might try carbon dating. These things are ancient you know.

The 750 head and the '79 850 head are the same, the share a common part number.

My bike has a noise, and it is really disconcerting. Can you tell me what it is? I don't know much about these things. :o
 
i thought from the title of this thread it was about "dating" a person who likes GS's.
hmmmm
exit only here....sorry
maybe bill can help:p

Is the engine running when it makes this alleged noise, or is it just like a silent noise when no one's looking?
 
Well, if you keep the throttle wide open, you really can't hear it, so it's not really making any noise at all, now is it?

Have to admit, I thought this too. I wondered if perhaps it was another forum member's significant other joining and looking for advice...
 
You sure it's only advice she's looking for?

You never know, these days.

GS heads, they're old and frequently crusty, and don't perform like new bikes, but just make sure to use the proper lube and they'll never fail to go the distance...
