        Just read this whole thread, took me a few hours, but really enjoyed the fact that the problem got solved eventually. I am new to this site, and have just bought an old GS850G, 1979 model. I'ts great to have access to the knowledge that's available on this forum, and I know that when I hit a snag there's always somewhere to go for advice.

            The whole thing only cemented the philosophy of checking EVERYTHING and starting back at the beginning, otherwise you just don't know what you're working with.

              Great thread... However I started reading and after a few posts, I was like screaming at the screen, check the valves, check the valves! It was like a horror film and you know they are gonna open the door and you don't want them to. But its great that the thread went on as it did and like a bedtime story, everyone is at peace. But anytime you get a new bike, do the valves, its the most unfun, byt you have to see the bigger picture, it was unfun for the PO's before you too, so who know how long shes gone without an adjustment.

                        Look at top left of column where it's says "POST NEW THREAD"- dive in and explain your problem , Hopefully, you've already discovered Mr.Basscliff's knowledge vault.

                              Same here. There's so much great info in here.
                              Kind of sad to see some of the old timers listed as "guest" now, though.

                              By the way, I think I recognize the location your bike pic was taken.

                                I do believe you were standing just a few yards away when it was taken!
