    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.

A bit cheeky perhaps as I have only just signed up for this forum.

I have a 1984 GSX750E and the rev counter won't read above 4,000 revs:confused:.

Now it's fang- dangly electronic one and the bike had been standing for a few years before I bought her.

Could it be a bad connector/ earth?

Or is it the needle sticking?

Are you able to strip the clocks to get to the needles?

Is this a common problem?

I can't seem to find much info on these models as I believe they didn't sell very well and there's not many around now.

I also believe the speedo's under-reading, so that's something I need to investigate as well.

Thanking you in advance, Ian.

Thanks for that Clone. I'll give the screw regrease suggestion a go :D.

Thanks again, Ian.
 
Ian, I picked up a GSX750 set of instruments recently in a job lot. No idea if they work and I was going to park them at the back of my garage (probably for ever). If you're interested you can either pick them up FOC or cover the postage and they're yours.
 
That's a very generous other. Thank you :D.

The bloomin' rev- counter won't read above 4,000 RPM and it's grating on me.

It's about 250 mile trek for me so postage would be good :D.

If you wouldn't mind keeping them to one side for a couple of weeks. I'll be very interested :D.

Thank you.
