My Picasa stuff is rearranged so dead links in the beginning of this thread. someone might think i don't have one but I do!
see?



well really,


though the E is a bit different now per mufflers, instrument box gone and forks are black.



this might be mildly interesting....an 850's bagrack haywired on the 400E ..keeps those soft bags outta the spokes and especially a nice way to move the turn signals

Hugo, if you are doing any major engine work, or want to flip the engine upside down on the bench & remove the case lower half, I believe the GS500 1989-2010 shift drum is set up in reverse from the standard old school GS shifting, as it had rearsets. The gears are revised so guys swap them into gs450's etc, but I remember a mention of not wanting to do the drum because the shift pattern is reversed due to the gs500 having rear sets smand the gs450's having standard foot pegs. So that may solve your problem (please re-confirm) but is a lot more work than figuring out a linkage swap/mod setup to correct your GP style backwards shifting. Just wanted to throw that out there FYI.

It's TWO cylinder and a ZUKI!! hope it counts but is a GR650...fired right up with a new battery and idles great, rides great but the carbs seem plugged cause it won't rev up much over 1/2 throttle..
A carb run thru and its a keeper!!!!!

Sweet 250!

Thanks ,, needs testing now, want to get it on the road,some of the things might not work,ie gear shift wrong way,might need proper rear sets & front brake clearances are very close with the 4 pot[ATTACH=CONFIG]38435[/ATTACH]

Are those open meg's?

Very nice! Details like sprocket cover, foot peg mount, paint, front disc and bum stop make it work very well. Cheers!

The regulations require it maintains the look of the era, I could replace the rear shocks as long as it retained the twin shock look, an alloy box swingarm would not be allowed. I could fit 17" wheels. A braided brake line and new master cylinder are on the wish list. I could change the front end with something newer, as long as it retained the look, but not upsidedown forks or floating rotors, slipper clutch's are out as well.. Since the photo was taken I have added a cutdown front guard as a fork brace. To be honest it doesn't handle too bad, for what it is. On a short track in the wet I have been known to pass the odd GS1000. In amongst other bikes of it's class (Pre82 Junior under 600cc it does OK).

The rules are here http://www.mnz.co.nz/docs/default-so...c.pdf?sfvrsn=2 see 25.4 to 25.4.8 for most of them.

My 1981 GSX400EX race bike , bored out to take Wiseco GS750 70mm Pistons, approx 440cc, since photo taken have fitted Mikuni VM34 roundslides, still a work in progress to get it running right with them. Bike located in Greymouth New Zealand and has been raced all over the South Island at various Street Races and circuits.

Until the leak becomes a spray and it spews all over your buddy's windscreen and then causes you to have traction issues on the rear tire... Yes this Happened to my 81 GS750... Get it fixed now before it turns into a dangerous situation. Trust me.

I am with you, already thought of that very thing. I have been polishing the cases while on the bike, I just take the foot controls off so they are not in the way, but am planning on just removing them to finish. The stator side is leaking.
