750gt characteristics
Well after reworking the head on the lower jug, rebuilt the carbs, fitting a Dyna Ignition, adding modern switchgear I have my dad's old 750 running pretty well. I realise these bikes characteristics are a little different from the two valve 1000ds in my last Multistrada or even more drastically the ...

750gt cam removal
Well, after assessing my 750 I pulled the the head off the front cylinder and found that the guides were junk. My question is which way does the cam and gear remove? I want to remove the cam and bearing so I can clean it all up and don't want to risk getting debris in the bearing. I pulled the ...

Re: Getting Dads 750gt back on the road
That's what I was hoping to hear and kind of suspected. I imagine I can fab up a valve spring compressor pretty easily. I'm pretty excited to get it on the road . I've fired it up a few more times just to listen to it. I think this bike will be a little easier to sort out than his old '68 BSA 441 ...

Re: Getting Dads 750gt back on the road
Now I haven't had a chance to look due to trying to kick a bug, but is it possible to do the seals by aligning the timing marks, pulling the rocker, supporting the valve via rope or air then pulling the spring?

Re: Getting Dads 750gt back on the road
Welllll, I'll have to pass on your generous offer right now. I did do a compression test on it and ended up with 135psi on the front and 140psi on the vertical. I'm pretty sure it is the valve guides and it does have the screw style adjusters. So rocker bushings too eh. This bike has only 7600mi. on ...

Re: Getting Dads 750gt back on the road
Thanks for the reply Craig, I think I was asking questions that I already knew the answer to. I was just hoping there was something I was unfamiliar with I and was missing. I pulled the rocker cover and glanced at the seal that was still in place. I feel pretty comfortable pulling the head but will ...

This is my first post although I've been lurking around as a guest for few years. What I've got is my late fathers 750gt that he had purchased new in 1975. After copious amounts of cleaning and rebuilding the carbs,oil changed I got it running after sitting for 35 years.I still need tires , throttle ...
