    Bike Idling With My Fuel Mixture Screws All The Way In

    I can’t remember specifically but I’m sure I’ll be taking them out and cleaning them again. I also noticed today that my bike was only firing on one cylinder. I checked spark on my plug and it was fine. I’m wondering if a spark plug replacement might do the trick to help fix this idling issue...

    Ticking Type Sound When Idling and Riding

    Rich, Appreciate the feedback. Good to get a second opinion on this. This is my first bike so learning as I go! I know the valve clearances haven’t been checked in a while so I’m gonna go ahead and do that. Thanks again.

    Ticking Type Sound When Idling and Riding

    https://www.youtube.com/shorts/_9tV8ZVfiGM Here is a video of the bike idling. I could not get an attachment to work so I posted it on youtube. The kind of high pitched "metally" sound in the background of the idle is what I am referring to. Thanks for all the help!!

    Ticking Type Sound When Idling and Riding

    Hello All, I have a 1982 GS450t, I’ve noticed when idling it sounds like “a bunch of watches ticking” near my cylinders. Also, this sounds gets louder when riding in gear. Does anyone know what could cause this? Perhaps I need to adjust my valve clearance. Any advice would be appreciated...

    Saddle Bag/Sissy Bar

    Hello All, Hope everyone is gearing up for another great riding season. I recently did a lot of work on my 82' GS450t, got the carbs clean and rebuilt and got the tank/side plates repainted, among other things. I was curious if anyone had good saddle bag recommendations. This is my first bike...

    Dropped Bike Whining Noise in 2-4 Gear

As you can imagine skidded as I tried to stop and dumped the bike on its right side (I’m good was going about 5mph). Anyway upon starting the bike back up...

    Burning Rubber Smell

    Thank you both gentlemen. So I wired the stator directly to the R/R the negative directly to battery negative. However, after looking at the SH775 diagrams, should the positive go to the harness then to the battery? Or just straight to the battery positive terminal? Also, if I’m bypassing the...

    Hello All, New here to the forum just got my first bike 82’ gs450t and I absolutely love it. A couple weeks ago it died when trying to start and after testing my stator (resistance and ground continuity) it signaled I needed a replacement. So I got a new Rick’s stator and a SH775 R/R as...
