    1979 GS1000L Spark but not firing on Cylinders 3 and 4

    I am trying to trouble shoot this problem. The first day I started the bike it fired on cylinders 1-3 and now it fires only on 1 and 2. I didn't do a complete tear down of the carb the first time but am doing that now. Just wondering if folks can recommend other troubleshooting to rule out...

    Help! Your Bike Won't Run Well

    Not all the parts in kits are bad. The gaskets are good and you can get a whole kit including gaskets or the price of the OEM gaskets. Pick out what works and dump the rest.

    Aftermarket Master Cylinder/reservoir/lever recommendations

    The master cylinder reservoir was messed up on my GS1000L (round type) and I am looking for an aftermarket master cylinder/lever/reservoir unit. Any recommendations? I see many cheap Chinese options but want something decent without spending a fortune. Thanks Doug

    Hints for Installing carbs on a 1979 GS1000

    Thank you so much Ed. I did clean and service the carbs. They were in better shape than I expected. The bike is low mileage and the owner was good about maintaining the carbs but not the brakes, valves etc. I rebuilt the brakes and adjusted the valves. Also installed the Polaris...

    Hints for Installing carbs on a 1979 GS1000

    ,I am going to install the carbs on my GS1000L and was looking for tips. The gap is the smallest I have ever seen on a four and I am worring about damaging the air box boots. I have worked on CB650's, several XS1100's and a CB900. I have been thinking that I should take the bolts out of the...

    Not enough slack in throttle cable - 1979 GS1000L

    I have a 1979 GS1000 and don't have enough slack in my throttle cables. I took the carbs and throttle components apart to clean them. Prior to this the throttle cable was plenty long enough. The cable fits but the sliders are wide open. I am wondering if I messed up assembling them.
