    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...

    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.

Gas Gauge?

I have a 1978 GS750. I haven't seen anything in the manual about a gas gauge or anything like that. is there any sort of gauge aside from using the trip odometer (which at the moment is not working)?:-k
 
Hi Mr. shadowfist,

If your bike has a fuel gauge, it will be located on the instrument cluster, usually between the speedometer and tachometer. I'm not sure if your model year bike came with one.

Mine has a fuel gauge, but i also use my tripmeter and reserve setting on my petcock to let me know I need gas. My bike has been getting pretty consistent mileage and I can usually tell within 5 or 10 miles when I'll be hitting the reserve.

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
The 78 GS750 doesn't have a fuel gauge. You get to use your choice of the trip odometer (I had to replace the entire instrument cluster to fix the one on my GS1100) or the reserve on the petcock.
 
alright, i guess i have to get my speedo working (tested it the other day with the tach cable so i know my speedo is working its just the drive gear or the cable that is the problem :-) cheaper that way!
