    new gs850l owner

    Picked up this 1981 gs850l with low miles. My first street bike - been riding dirtbikes my whole life, and when I got my enduro I was putting too many miles on that little thumper. Needed something that will (and has) stand the test of time. Got it for a good price and simply loving it. Sounds great, feels amazing and starts faster than.. well it's fast. I'll be coming here more often to ask for help for a little while because I know there will be a few things down the line that I can't very well call a dealership for anymore.
    Thanks

          Some people don't care for the styling but those 850Ls are great machines. Fun to ride, cheap to own, and will easily outlast you with a bare minimum of maintenance. Welcome to the board!

              Welcome to the GSR.

              looks like someone has already modified most of the L out of it, with the flatter bars.

              do learn about the splined hub (called “joint assembly” an parts microfisch) that is IN the rear wheel.

              Had 850G for 14 years. Now have GK since 2005.
