Hello everyone, if there is enough oil in the crank case. and the oil light stays on. what should I look for, and what causes that? the bike is 1982 GS 750 E it seems like the oil sensor is right on top of the oil filter cap, if it is the sensor how do I know it is faulty?

On most GS's the oil pressure sending unit is directly under the cam chain tensioner, there should be one wire pluged on to the top of it. If the wire comes off, the light will stay on.

I have three other GSs, you are right all of them have the sensor under the tentioner, not this one, I will check the wire and see if that will fix it, thank you

Dear Ard,

If it's the 83 750, the sender is located under the right side cover where the signal generator is.

rear wheel

rear wheel

Hi everyone another bike another project. I am replacing the rear wheel bearings on the 1982 GS1100E. After taking the sprocket hub off the wheel, I punched out the bearings on a trash can. what I got is about 4" long spacer between the bearings. Before punching the bearings out, I dont remember the 4" spacer being loose between the bearings, after instaling the new bearings the spacer felt very loose in the middle. did I loose any part? I checked my manual it does not show more then one spacer. can someone tell me if It is okay? thanks

There is usually only one spacer in there, but it should not be very loose. It may not be captured tight, but there should be minimal end play, since that is what the bearings will make up tight against when the axle is installed and tightened. How much end play do you think there is? Are teh new bearings seated completely?

Thank you for your input I went back and drove the whell bearing further in and that did the trick. first I thought if the bearing is flush with the wheel it was enough. driving the bearing further in did it.
