    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.

Winter motor project..ideas?

So after a year long complete caf? rebuild I was able to ride all summer long with a few issues. So winter is creeping and the plan was to tear into the motor to fix the issues I have and perform some upgrades. I'm completely new to engine work, but I figured I would take my time. Are there any upgrades or particular common items that eventually fail that would be worth looking into while the engine is opened up.?

So some of the problems I?ve noticed the last month that I plan on looking into are the following:

--Random oil leaks that I?ve not pin pointed the location yet.
--New petcock still leaks gas on kickstand
--Top vent tubing smokes more than I would like when hot outside.
--Toe shifter hard to shift only the first 10-20 mins of riding.
--Slight knocking and hissing sound coming from the engine.

I have other threads started for these issues, but I put them on hold since it was drivable at this point.

Thanks for any ideas you guys have.

If you're going to have the engine out, I've heard a rumor that you can flip it over, remove the oil pan, and shim some kind of pressure relief spring. This is supposed to increase oil pressure or volume which is slightly deficient in second-gen 750s. I don't know the details, maybe someone with more experience can chime in with a better explanation.
