    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.

"Normal" engine noise?

Hey everyone, I just got my 850-750 out for a quick run and she feels real good. Still bedding the front pads and need the rear brake line plumbed so I didnt get a good run. The engine had 79,000 when I pulled the top end and did the 850 barrel swap and a head rebuild. I checked the crank and found zero noticeable end play so I didn't touch the bottom. I am certain I got the valve lash right since I checked it about 5 times. With that being said there is a little noise that sounds like it might be on the left side of the motor. It was there before I took the bike apart and I thought it might be valve train or top end related but I dont think so now that the top end is fresh. The cam chain tensioner is working perfectly and seems to have plenty of more adjust to go. The question I am asking (I dont have the ability to make a video yet) how noisy are the 1978 GS 750's normally and what can I look at for possible sources if any? I will try a carb sync once I find the tools, any suggestions? All of your advice is valuable to me and thank you in advance for your assistance.
