    1980 GS850g Oil Dissapearing

    the tach issue is more than likely the tachometer cable itself. with the service stand, you will notice that theres an extra "leg" on the (left?) side of the bike, what you do is stand on the leg with the bike sitting straight up, and rock it back with your body weight, you want to be over the...

    GS650GL starting riddle

    i was dealing with the same issue before i started the rebuild, i adjusted the valves and i was able to get quicker starts but it definitely still was hard to start, it seemed like it could start up the second i pressed the button and if i applied the throttle the right way it would stay on and...

    front fork split ring will not budge, master cylinder recommendation

    also i must ask, is the kg/mm the stiffness rating? it comes in .80kg/mm, .90kg/mm, and 1.00kg/mm. which one is the one to get, this bike is meant to be have fun on but also be a daily rider,

    front fork split ring will not budge, master cylinder recommendation

    i gotta ask just to make sure, but they do get sold in pairs right? no i dont really want to go past that, i would just like the front end to not be so spongy, especially with more power and being appropriately tuned

    front fork split ring will not budge, master cylinder recommendation

    Should I replace the springs or get a different set of forks? I'm guessing the easier route would be the springs since changing the forks could mean changing the brake and rotor and possibly wheel.

    front fork split ring will not budge, master cylinder recommendation

    If there's no visible leaks does it still make sense to change the seals? Could the springs possibly be worn out? I just feel like the front forks are alot softer than they should be but also the bike is 40 years old so I'm not sure

    front fork split ring will not budge, master cylinder recommendation

    is there a method to get them off? its been a long time since I attempted to do it but I remember they would not budge at all, I really need to make sure this bike is gonna be safer to ride since there will be more power being put out. also I would like to replace my front master cylinder and...

    powder coating

    okay awesome, i believe it is going to be the route im going as it does seem the best way to go for a long well lived cosmetic life, i plan on keeping this bike forever so i couldnt see myself just doing the paint myself as it does not look consistent and will probably chip off very easy. i...

I'm wondering how much...

    powder coating

    who has had experience with powder coating? i do know once you powder coat you cant really go back since its chemically bonded to the material at that point, but I'm okay with that. I'm wondering how it has held up for the people who have had it done, cosmetically and all. I plan on getting...
