New GS650GT owner

[Antonius]

Greetings, I'm a new forum member and a proud owner of a 1981 GS650GT. The bike is current in my spare room in bits undergoing some maintenance. Hopefully should all back together and running just in time for this coming spring and warmer weather.

Congrats, always wanted to try a 650!

you can upgrade the brakes on that model if you choose to.

[Antonius]

Would the upgraded brakes come from gs850 or gs1000?

[salty_monk]

Nah... click the link at the bottom of my signature. Yours are already the same as the bigger bikes

Thanks, will look into upgrading brakes and check your link, once I get forks and engine sorted.

Hi, Antonius! I have the same bike...With twin disks at front and a rear disk too, I've never had any trouble stopping the bike...There's an excellent shop manual and a lot of applicable info here:
