    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.

just bought a GS750T and am going to do a minor tune-up...how do I check the rear brake drum (to see if it needs new pads), and how do I replace the plug wires...do I need to remove the gas tank?
 
Can't help you on the drum brake (been 20+ years since I had a bike with one), but you will have to pull the tank to get to the coils. Keep in mind that the wires are molded into the coil towers. They can be changed but it is a pain. If you need new caps, they are easy to replace. Do a search and you should find several threads on doing it.
 
This is true, the spark plug wires and coil are all one piece and can't be changed like automotive plug wires can. If you really want to do it, run a search on the subject, there a few posts with some ideas, but like the above post says, its a pain. Unless you really have a problem with a frayed wire or something, I wouldn't mess with it.

Yup, you've got to take the gas tank off to do it.
 
A set of newer GSXR, Bandit, or Kat coils is the way to go. You can usually get a set for about $30 on Ebay.
 
Down by the brake arm their should be some marks on the drum & the lever I think when they line up the brakes need repair It should tell in the book
