    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.

hi there,

i have a gs 750 (1978) and being a neewbie i wanted to find out the mpg
but my trip button on the odometer reader seeems to be missing, looking down the hole there is a thread as if something used to screw into it? i don't want to stuff a screwdriver down there really for fear of damaging it,could anyone with a working one advise what there should be there please.thanks:)
 
There should be a knob on the left side of the left gauge right? That's missing then? Have you checked Bike Bandit's microfiche online to see if it's still available? What is it you want to accomplish with a screwdriver? You do want to be careful 'cause gauges are hard to come by for this bike.
 
Can't help with the knob, it's been too long since I owned one of those 750's. You can figure the mpg. just like in the days before the trip meter. Fill tank full. write down odometer reading now. ride bike. When ready for next fill-up, fill bike full again. Subtract first odometer reading from odometer reading now, at fill-up, Reading will be exactly what trip meter would have read if it were working properly. divide gallons it took to fill it up, into the miles riden since last fill-up, that's the exact mpg. Good luck with the knob.
