    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.

Simple, but I can't find it

Very simple question I need a hand with. Does anyone know what the tail/brake light bulb would be for an 84 GS750E? My bike came without one in, and the only info I can find in my manual is that it should be an 8/32 watt. Should this be a normal 1157 bulb?

Help is appreciated.
 
Hi,

The stock bulb is a Stanley 1034, but a generic 1157 should work just fine.


Thank you for your indulgence,

Thanks, just wanting to confirm. I had a spare 1157 that I put in to try last night. I turned the key but did not start the bike, the headlight came on with the key turned but no tail light. When I hit the brake, the brake light would light up though.

I can't be sure the spare bulb I have is not burnt (it looks fine to me though, but bugger its sometimes hard to tell), so I'll pick up a new one tomorrow to try.

I would think the tail light should come on with the key turned, but maybe not? Some bikes I have they do, others they don't. Unfortunately its far too cold out right now to fight with trying to start the bike. I just at least want to make SURE I have the right bulb and that it is a NEW bulb to start with.
 
I wanna say the brake light lights up when I kick or crank the bike? I migjht be wrong. I'm new to my GS.
