Spring length and manual

[Thenewguy]

Hello guys. I have a 1983 gs 750t that I'm in the process of rebuilding. My first question is where can I get a service manual for my bike? I looked on here and the web and I'm coming up short. If I cant find one which bike manual would be close enough? The next question is what is the service limt on the stock fork springs for my bike? I more than likely am going to upgrade but not till next year. Thanks in advanced.

I looked there already, and at the "click here for more manuals" link. No lucky.

The 750T is almost exactly the same as the other 2nd generation 750's so use this link... http://www.mtsac.edu/~cliff/storage/...50_16valve.pdf

This is from the Manual on Basscliff's site

To Nessism: That's the one I've been using. So far it hasn't lead me wrong. Thanks.

To posplayr: Where it says "Front fork free length: 18.5 inches," what exactly does that mean? Does that mean just the bigger spring? both? I measured 6.5 inches on the upper spring and 14.5 (I think) on the lower spring.

Thanks to both of you again.

Why are you bothering with measuring the stock fork springs? They're junk.

Chuck 'em in the nearest recycling bin and order up a set of Progressive or Sonic fork springs.

I will be upgrading, just not right now. So the "front fork free spring length" is both of the springs put together?
