    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.

81 GS750L engie help

hello all,

I am in the process of rebuilding an 81 GS750L and was seriously thinking about doing cracking open the case for a full engine rebuild. Nothing to radical, just want to freshen everything up and maybe throw some go fast goodies at the bike. However, with the engine I can't find anyone that makes internals. I want to get an idea just incase something is trashed inside. I can't even find a set of piston rings. Does anyone have suggestions?
 
First, welcome to the GSR.
Second, let's clarify some terminology.
What you want to do is called a top end rebuild.
That involves removing the valve cover, the cams, the cam chain tensioner, the head (and the exhaust to do that) and the cylinder block.
This exposes everything you need to work on.


Now, the engine is the same as an 81 GS750E or T. All parts will fit. The reason your bike is not listed is because it is rare but the same engine as all the other 750s of the same year.

Be sure and do lots of studying prior to this project. It is easy to do correctly, but even easier to do incorrectly, which becomes much more expensive.

Hi Mr. bjb81transam,

You'll find a fairly extensive list of all our favorite vendors in your "mega-welcome". I think Z1Enterprises.com, gssuzuki.com, and boulevardsuzuki.com are the favs for most OEM parts.

If you are here you probably have a 30 year old motorcycle that needs about 20 years worth of maintenance. You'll find all kinds of helpful tips, procedures, manuals, diagrams, "how-to" guides, etc, in the links below. Let's get started.

Let me dump a TON of information on you and share some GS lovin'. :D

I just stopped by to welcome you to the forum in my own, special way.
