    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

I drove my 77 gs750B last fall. On the highway the bike gave out, was acting like it was about to sputter and die, then made a high pitched sound like "fzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" and completely died. The kickstart doesen't want to move when in nuetral, but when I pop off the point cover I can move the shaft with a wrench up to a certain point. Any ideas what could be happening? Can I provide any other details?
 
What happens when you pull the clutch in, and try to rotate the crank? Might be something seized in the transmission.
 
Moves freely in nuetral with clutch pulled in, but won't crank. Kickstart seems to move a little to easy, like there's not a lot of resistance. Makes a "thunk" sounds when I try to turn her over

Kick starter will always move w/ very little resistance with clutch in.
 
Cam chain adjuster stopped working and your chain jumped

Pull the valve cover, see if you have a chain, check the cam timing
 
Drain your oil and and open up your oil filter and see if you find any metal pieces in it. Take the valve cover off as mentioned and see what the cam chain is like.
 
Thanks guys, as soon as I get the chance, I'm gonna follow the suggestions. I'll keep ya'll posted :) (except you Ken) ;) Just kidding!!!
