gsx 750 es Speeod

[mgrefsrud]

I have just bought a 1984 gsx 750 es and i was told that the speedo i sshowing a to high speed because the instruments have been changed.
Does anyone know if there was a change in the ratio of the speedo?
It seems to also not show the petrol tank level incorrect also.

Hope someone can help.

Looks like the right speedo from that shot. Nice bike!

yes the instruments look right, but i am wondering if there ever was a change in the drive ratio of the gear on the front wheel?
It is the only way i can understand why it is showing about 20 KM/H tomuch speed whn driving.

I am going to remove the fuel level metering device as soon as i have time, does anyone know if this is alot of work if it is easy?

There was a write up done by Jethro on here (happy birthday Jethro) .. about repairing a fuel sending unit.

Search fuel sending unit repair.

Welcome - that's a beautiful ride. Here in the states, the 750ES was a 1 year bike (1983), it was down-sized to 700 in 84 and 85 to get in the country under the displacement limit that brought a tariff. We didn't get this color combination (or the black with red highlights) as an option, nor were factory lowers an option. Sweet!

And definitely check out Jethro's fuel metering maintenance - that seal is delicate! and the job is fairly easy too.
