    '83 GS850GL - Does this sound right ?

    Pardon the shaky video - I recorded this with my cell phone on a RAM mount -
    I just wanted a quick clip of the bikes sound -- Does it sound OK to you ?

    Just take a listen from 20 seconds and further --

    Sounded somewhat normal for "L" pipes, Carl.

    Was there something I missed?

      I must be missing it too. Pretty much sounds like mine.

        Here's my "G". "GL" pipes do sound different; a little more growl, which I think I hear in yours.

        WARNING: TURN YOUR SPEAKERS/HEADPHONES DOWN!



        Totally different camera, mount, etc. plus a lot of wind noise...

          Just wanted to be sure - It seems to be running and sounding quite right to me ..
          I wanted others to verify and assure me that all is well -- and I think it is..
          Nice growl to her -- I call her "the little bike"

            For pretty much the same reason(s) I call mine "Junior".

              Likely the audio quality, but it sounds better than Brian's G... I call mine "Dead"...
