    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 am restoring a 1978 gs 750 that sat for 15 years, some of that outside. It was froze up when I bought it. I am in the process of rebuilding the top end, and rebuilding the carbs. I have new exhaust gaskets and boots for the carbs on order. I am wondering if there are any seals on the engine that I should look at replacing as long as it is apart?
 
Yes...theres oring seals for the oil galley..go to the parts fiches and do some looking at the schematics..many of your questions will be answered as far as whats in there. Boulevard Suzuki, Alpha Sports...

air box boots
intake o-rings
tach 0-ring and seal
there are two o-rings and one oil seal for the auto cam chain tensioner
have a good look at the half moons behind the valve cover caps
There's lots of seals around the kick start, neutral switch, gear change shaft that can leak on a bike sitting that long but I guess you'll see those when you get her running.
If you haven't already bought a valve cover and breather gasket the ones from realgaskets.com are fantastic and last a very long time, well worth it.
If you're doing the top end you must already have all the o-rings for the head.
 
What Rob says..I just didnt wanna type it all out...go look at the schematics for reference points. And go to BIKECLIFF WEBSITE ( google bikecliff ) and download the 750 8 valve shop manual. All the torque specs and stuff is right there.
