1978 Suzuki 750. The front end is not lining up and loose.
go to
www.bikebandit .com and pull up your bike and go under wheels,tires,final drive and make sure you have it put back together just like the diagram shows you because it sounds like you might not have the bearing spacer lined up just right or might have accidently put one of the bearing spacers on the wrong side i have seen this many times even by the pro's and make sure you torque it to specs.please let me know if this helps if not we will figure it out.

Could be a sticking float, clogged jets, restricted fuel flow( filter etc)' loosen drain screw in each of the 4 carbs, this is the lowermost screw try and catch the fuel in a container, you should have a similar amount from each carb, a lesser amaount from any of the carbs would point to a problem in that particular carb.

95% of the time centre is on forward is reserve and back is off, simple way to make sure is remove the hose at the tap and try it like that, you will have 2 positions where fuel is flowing, on and reserve, the 3rd off.

Yes, yes, and no, and I don't know. You could have blown a fuse, but it seems it would be showing other symptoms if you did. THe age of the battery is a good indication of condition, over one year old, suspect, over 2 years old, definitely could be in need of replacement. Check the water in the battery and fill it to the level with bottled water, or rain water, no minerals, then get one of those floaty ball testers and check the electrolyte fluid weight, One dead cell, the battery is shot. Could have been not enough time to charge it back it up. A battery charger needs to run all night. So, check it out, hope this helps.
My bike is not getting
if its factory jets then there just dirty or need ajust--bigger ones can be risky cause tuning them wrong can burn ur engine--bike is 30yrs-bout time for carb rebuild--buy a haynes or clymer book for maintenance details
I have a 1978 gs
Could be a number of reasons
1-your main jets are too big
2-float level to high
3-blocked exhaust
4-points or CDI(please confirm)
5-carb manifold rubbers leaking
Please get back especially No4*
How to change clutch cable
Remove the gas tank then run the new cable along side the old cable. Unhook the old cable at the engine then hook up the new cable. Now remove the old cable from the bike. Give the cable adjusters all the slack you can get then hook the cable into the clutch handle. Pull the outer cable outward and hook the end of the outer cable on the outside of the adjuster. Pull the lever in all the way then release the lever while pulling on the outer cable. This should allow you to snap the cable end into the adjuster fitting. Below is a generic photo. Please rate my answer. Thanks!
My 1978 GS750 has a
needs just a little more air on your idle mix screw and if that won't fix it, take your carb slide out and drop the inlet needle down 1 notch so as to take a little fuel away during idle, that makes it come on more crisp & clean
I've replaced the coils, spark
Did the bike run fine previously...or unknown history?
Does it crank the starter normally?
Have you verified with a grounded spare spark plug that the ignition is actually firing as you crank starter...if not...might be an interlock problem....is neutral light on...have you tried with sidestand up and clutch pulled in? Kill switch ON?
Usually the interlocks prevent cranking too but older bikes tend to get rewired by some ownerthats.
Not sure on your model, but some use vacuum operated fuel petcocks...if yours has them...have you tried setting them to PRI or prime position to fill carbs without vacuum?
Where do i start charging
Start by checking the stater output from there the voltage regulator output.
stater voltage is ac. and should be 3 yellow wires going to the voltage regulator.
This voltage will hurt you!
It is a good start
It hasn't run in five
If the engine was seized, major engine damage was done and must be repaired first. Pistons, rings, barrells? any of the above or all.
Hi got a suzuki gs750 not ran for a number of
when you say a number of years is it the same petrol in the fuel tank?

give me shout if when you have done this and maybe i can help some more

Do Not use the diagrams. Your turn signals have certain colored wires that go to them as well as the headlight. Make sure you run a ground wire . If the turn signal uses a separate ground keep it separate. Your Windjammer wiring harness is also color coded . Make sure the colors used for the right signals in the fairing go to the corresponding colors for the right turn signal, then the headlight, then the left turn signal , Extra power wire for a cellphone charger or radio. I have purchased 6 motorcycles with Windjammer fairings on them and had to rewire each one because the installer could not follow the instructions and do it correctly. The only thing that might make your install tricky is if the fairing harness colors do not match from one fairing quick connector to the other. Draw a diagram on a piece of paper to keep your colors straight.
