    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Found a 79 1000L on craigslist for $795. Not sure how many miles on the bike. I've owned an 81 Kz550 and let me tell you that was a dream ! Now wanting to pick another bike up and ran across this.

Are Gs 1000's reliable ?? TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK. GOOD DEAL ??

It can be made reliable, but only after you do a good bit of work to it bringing all the maintenance up to date. That bike looks abused, so include fixing a bunch of stuff on top of just doing maintenance. Unless you enjoy wrenching I'd stay clear. Also, budget at least $400 on top of the purchase price for needed parts to get the bike road worthy.
 
Since it has been crashed at least twice, the level of neglect is probably high

I'd budget $600-1,000 to fix everything that's wrong, worn out or damaged


GS 1000s are extremely reliable once they're fixed
