did any 82 gs650gl's come with gold engine paint stock? theres gold paint on my engine but its under where the carbs usually are so u dont see it unless theyre off, ive seen special trims with gold but dont know exactly if theres one for mine.

Don't remember any Suzuki with gold eng. Only thing, I think remember, is the Kawasaki "Spectre" models, I'm pretty sure some of them had gold eng.1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw. ZL600 Eliminator, 1999 Bandit 1200S, 2005 Bandit 1200S, 2000 Kaw. ZRX 1100 -
Suzuki engines were all silver until '83, when they were painted black.

Gas leaked from the carbs and yellowed the silver paint.Ed

I put WD40 on the q-tips? The cooling fins on mine is covered by something gooey (gas? oil?). I want them clean again. Its not all over, mostly on the left side (right if you stand infront) under the carbs and under the seam where the top cooling fin thing is attached to the middle or bottom cooling fin thing.Comment
