    81 gs650L running

    bought this bike at a garage sale for fifty bucks about three weeks ago. it's been sitting for about ten years. i cleaned it up, dipped carbs in gunk, one night each, new o'rings, new back tire. i took it for a ride tonight and it's running great. a spunky little shafty i must admit. i hate those L model handlebars though. i should probably sell it but i wanna ride it for a while first.

    anyway, my point is carb dip and bob barr's o ring kits made all the difference.

        now i've got an 82 550L running too. same deal, carbs were a mess, cleaned, dipped, o-ringed. the wiring was all over too but that went together pretty easy. now what am i gonna do with all these gs's?

          wow i just dug through my oldest forum threads and found this one.

          i just sold this bike after fixing it up and riding it for 2 years. i did love this bike but got a nice 850 running and it was time to move on. here's a couple pics of the 650:





          i think it will be loved in its new home but i will always miss it.
