What seals to replace?

[Guest]

I am restoring a 1978 gs 750 that sat for 15 years, some of that outside. It was froze up when I bought it. I am in the process of rebuilding the top end, and rebuilding the carbs. I have new exhaust gaskets and boots for the carbs on order. I am wondering if there are any seals on the engine that I should look at replacing as long as it is apart?

Yes...theres oring seals for the oil galley..go to the parts fiches and do some looking at the schematics..many of your questions will be answered as far as whats in there. Boulevard Suzuki, Alpha Sports...

air box boots
intake o-rings
tach 0-ring and seal
there are two o-rings and one oil seal for the auto cam chain tensioner
have a good look at the half moons behind the valve cover caps
There's lots of seals around the kick start, neutral switch, gear change shaft that can leak on a bike sitting that long but I guess you'll see those when you get her running.
If you haven't already bought a valve cover and breather gasket the ones from realgaskets.com are fantastic and last a very long time, well worth it.
If you're doing the top end you must already have all the o-rings for the head.

What Rob says..I just didnt wanna type it all out...go look at the schematics for reference points. And go to BIKECLIFF WEBSITE ( google bikecliff ) and download the 750 8 valve shop manual. All the torque specs and stuff is right there.
