A New to me 1978 GS 750

[GS_Newb]

Got my hands on a 1978 GS 750 that was not well maintained, but not too beat up. So going to be lurking and asking newb questions about this bike, and consider this your warning.

Thanks Guys!

Welcome Newb. Heck we're nosey, little more info., new to bikes or old bike guy? Bike running or not running? been stored inside or under shade tree? maroon or blue "C" model or black "E" or non oem paint? See warned we may be nosey.. Some here may say pictures "required" but really just appreciated.

Welcome. Yes pics are required. We let rphillips get away with not posting any because he says he’s old and doesn’t know how to with his flip phone. Yes, we would like very much to see pics.

Hi GS-Newb and welcome to the forum.

I had a 1978 GS 750E back in the early 90's. Totally stock except for a 4 to 1 exhaust. Only needed to have one valve shim replaced due to a tight valve. It rode faster than I was prepared to push it.

You'll find tons of knowledge on this forum and, as previously stated, pics are almost mandatory here.

Cheers
