    Howdy from Texas

    Howdy, new-found pals! I am new to this forum, new to in-line fours, new to Suzukis and new to my '78 GS750C. But, I ain't new, as I have been busy with motorcycles for over 42 years. My involvement began with a CB450 Honda, went to BMWs (I had 3 of those), back to Honda with V4s and a CBX and a couple Gold Wings and I've refurbished and restored a number of machines, some British, some Honda and some BMW and a Ducati round case. Oh - and a Hummel Type 155 Zweirad Union DKW moped. This GS of mine is in pretty good shape, with low miles, but not used or cared for much in many years. It does "run" well, and I've already done a bunch of stuff, but now am plodding along, as little nuances have me now looking for consults. So, at this point I am glad someone pointed me to this list. If there are any sure-nuff '78 GS 750 experts out there, please ring the bell so I can maybe get in a one on one when I come up begging. I reckon the forum archives and/or the general question to the forum will mostly do, but I would like a contact or two in case I need someone to "draw me a map" on something puzzling me. Looks to be a good forum. Bevo

          You are in the right place. There is NO more knowledgeable place on the planet when it comes to the beloved GS of ANY year and displacement...

              Howdy, Pals, Thanks for the greetings and links, and well-wishes! Wasn't too keen on replying to every single one, as some lists I've been on despise a nod every time somebody surfaces. But, please know ... ALL courtesies MUCH appreciated by me! I'll post some pics, soon. So far, all I have are files of pics (random) and an iPhoto collection, but I reckon I can get them to work, eh? I haven't yet set the GS for decent shots, but I will, soon.

              Hey, good news, in addition to the access to the Service Manual on the link sent to me, I went by the Suzuki Shop near me and asked if they had any duplicates and sure enough! Yep, snagged their spare for $27.06, including tax. It's in great shape! Bevo

                  Close.

                  The first of the GS Series was the four-cylinder GS750 released alongside the GS400 parallel twin in November 1976.[2] (1977 Model Year).
                  From Wikipedia.
