    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 a quick question how much oil does the generator run in on a gsx750es also I think my engine was changed for a katana 750 engine at some time and has a smaller generator than the gsx750es both engines I believe was 1984 models how can I find out what engine I have both to look at are identicle

Not much oil. Usually between teaspoonful & a tablespoonful will run out when the cover is removed.
 
Oil does splash around in the ststor cover as it lubricates the strarter motor gears. If you lean the bike the opposite way not too much oil comes out. Just did this last week....

You are correct in thinking that the generator runs in oil from the engine. If you need to work on the stator or rotor (which comprise the generator) you don't have to drain the oil, just lean the bike over as mentioned earlier and remove the cover. You will lose only a little oil.
