    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.

Who knows this about a 77 750??

Did they come stock with a front brakelight switch or was it only the rear?? My bike didnt have one on it when i bought it, and i cant find anything in the manual to say whether or not it did. If not, how difficult would it be to rig one up?? I dont use my rear brake much, aside from quick braking and a bit of trail braking, so i'd feel alot safer with one...lol
 
They came stock with a front brake light switch. On the bottom of the handlebar switch assembly, you should find (if the brakelight switch assembly was removed), a slot and two screw holes that the assembly fits into. Last I checked, they were still available from Suzuki for less than $10. All it is, is a small plastic cap with two holes for mount screws and a tiny brass "U" with a tiny spring that slides in the plastic channel when the brake lever is pulled.

If your handlebar switch is stock, you will have the casting on the bottom of the assembly that accepts the brake light switch. If you order one and are installing it, it is much easier to install if you loosen the clamp screws that hold the complete switch assembly to the handlebars and rotate the switch 180 deg so you are working from the top and the pieces naturally fall into place rather that trying to work from underneath and having everything wanting to fall out. LOL I found that out the hard way. hehe

Actually i scavenged the right hand switch off an 80 750 i have. The original switch was completely stripped and was there for the throttle sleeve and that was about it. I wish it was still good tho, as it was metal and the 80's is plastic. Oh well. So if i get a brake switch, i think i should probably get the 80's switch since i know it will fit in the assembly. I actually looked to see if i could gut the plastic switch and put it in the metal housing, but alas the parts were a lil bigger than the old. I also had to use the throttle cable off the 80 as the connections were different. Bummer. Still GS at least.
 
They make an aftermarket hydraulic switch. I think you can get it from Z1.
