I just don't remember what year they got rid of the headlight switch. The last Suzuki I had with one was a 74 or 75 GT550. anyone know what...

    81 650e BS32 main jet screw up

    I rebuilt the Carbs for my project 81 650e and installed them. When I rebuilt them I noticed they had 110 main jets. Now that I have it running it smells very rich. And it must be because if I use the choke it will not start but first start when cold without choke it starts fine. Now this is the...

    Yes I think it is very similar to the 550 and definitely not fun. I am sure getting them back on will be a major PIA

    Picking up new project bike today GS650E

    Lots of good info Thanks the one thing I noticed on this one is the front disks are vented but the rear one is not. I don't think it would come that way. I started to remove the Carbs today and they are a real PIA . my 850 and my 1100e are much less of a problem. And thinking of Carbs. Now that...

    Picking up new project bike today GS650E

    I think the bars are off of a dirt bike. The whole bike looks pretty solid. Now that I am done with the GS1100E & the GS850G I need something to keep me busy. I need to stay in the shop 6-10 hours a day.

    GKs are unusual . . . .

    In early 1980 I had an GS850G with the full Vetter pkg. and loved it but decided I needed a Goldwing. But the Goldwing just wasn't for me. When I found a GK at a good price from a guy that did not get his wife approval before he bought it I jumped on it. I really loved the GK. IMG_3014 by...
