    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.

i have a gs750l i read on another post (that i cant find any more) that the gs750l motor is a pos that the bearings always give out. the bike they were looking at was i beleive a 78 or 79 mine is a 80 with the tscc motor and i noticed that motor looked different it had the round cam covers. just wanted to know if this motor is any good i plan on making it a cafe and be able to push the motor a lil and not worry about blowing it and if it is a pos can it be swapped for a gs750e motor.

It's true that the 16 valve engines were prone to top end oiling problems, they are still a reliable powerplant. Change the oil frequently and perform routine maintenance. The pre-80, 8 valve engines were deemed to be more reliable. I've owned my bike since 07 and aside from routine maintenance the engine just runs. The bike is very reliable and I wouldn't hesitant to take it on a long trip. I also have not modded the engine or run it at insane speeds. If I wanted a bike to race, I guess I would have bought a crotch rocket.
 
The round cam caps are on the earlier two valve engines. Two valve 750s are indestructible. You can run the p;ss out of it forever.
 
16 valve

16 valve

Both my bikes are 16 valve, both run perfectly and both are nearly 30 years old. If the 16 valve engine were a POS, I'd have figured it out by now........along with a whole bunch of other people on the forum.:p
