    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

Hi Everyone, I picked up an 87 GS450 as a summer project. This my first project bike so looking forward to picking peoples brains and getting schooled!

first thing I'm looking for is a good place to get maintenance parts, Any suggestions??
 
Best place to start is the "Newbies click here" button at the top of this section. You'll find more goodies there in the way of information than you'll find anywhere else.

My guess is you want it to run, steer and stop first. Usually this means cleaning (as in dipping) the carbs. There's a tutorial on rebuilding those carbs on that link and someone here sells a set of O-Rings for those carbs, that's all you need for parts.

As to the rest, ask! My 450 has been a lot of fun.
 
Thanks Lab, I?m currently working on getting all the crap out of the tank before I head down stream! And the clymer manual is on the way.
 
what condition is the scoot in? pictures? parts are easy to get. any of the big oem dealers (rockymountainatv has been good to me for eom parts) you can get parts from. ebay for the rarer things, like a seat pan.
