        Those could be my next pair of shoes. Currently on 705s. May go more aggressive with the 700s. Thanks

          How do you like them? I've heard mixed reviews. For the price I figured what the heck I'd try them out. I figured with heavy duty tubes what could it hurt?

            I like the 705, I run without tubes. I ride a lot of forest gravel and dirt roads. The one flat I had could have been easily fixed at road side with a plug kit and compressor. I now carry both. I could not fathom attempting a tube swap or repair on the trail/roadside.

              Honestly man this is going to be a complete toy. I don't know how oftenit will see anything more than grass. Mostly just asphalt. I ride a VTX 1800 retro most of the time and I just wanted something light and fun to ride. My vtx1800 is life 750 pounds I want something light weight to enjoy

                      A buddy has a VTX and i had to push it around in his garage.
                      Certainly the weight is down low but it is a pig.

                      Success on the roller status. Keep at it!

                        Thanks! The vtx1800 is a an absolute monster. I'm hoping my little scrambler will be a nice compliment to the beast. Best of both worlds 😁

                            I have my carbs off and they are in the ultrasonic cleaner now. If any of you are well versed in rebuilding these carbs please chime in. Carbs are still in factory running condition. However they are ask dried up. Have been sitting since '95. My plan was to count turns as I disassemble and reassemble with the same number of turns on all the jets. Any wisdom would be appreciated

                              There are 10million threads about carbs here https://www.thegsresources.com/_foru...b-Fuel-Exhaust
                              some here: https://www.thegsresources.com/_foru...vetrain-Clutch
                              and elswhere...
                              and,
                              There is plenty of pdfs and more about rebuilding very very similar carbs here:BikeCliff's Website
                              get the SHOP manual here:GS450 Official Service Manual PDF
                              ...it is a little "tight" about letting you adjust mixture so1 and a half to 2 is a good place to start for idle mix...but they're usually adjusted when the bike is warm and running with all else "good". It is VERY simple on a twin...similar to a lawnmower.

                                Use the link in my signature for BikeCliff's Website. The one Gorminrider gave you is old, and most of the links are broken. Below the top section of manuals/wiring diagrams, top of the right column of links is this guide. Use it.
