    1979 GS550 fluid change... Just oil or is there more?!

    Finally got my bike running tonight and now I would love to change all of the fluids... Is the motor / transmission fluid all in one on a 1979 GS500 or are they seperate?? If someone could please let me know what all has to be changed for a full fluid change that would be awesome.. I dont need details on how to do it, just what all needs to be done... Thanks a million guys!

      Like most Japanese motorcycles the motor and transmission oil are shared.One plug and you're done,unless you change the filter.

        Might want to think about flushing the brake fluid too and replacing with fresh brake fluid.
