    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.

I just got an email from Clymer regarding the availability of a manual for my 1979 GS1000. All they have are manuals for 1980-81 GS1000G, GS1000GL and GS1000GT.

Being new to this bike I have no idea if they are similiar to my bike so I need your help.
 
Some of the imfo would be the same, but you really need to find the right manual. You have a chain drive, the manual they have is for shaft drives.
 
Have seller check manuals

Have seller check manuals

Just a note on Clymer manuals covering the 77-79 GS1000. I purchased one on eBay and when I got it discovered that there had been a printing error. I forget the exact pages, but it skipped from say, page 52 to page 80, and then repeated pages 70-80. Something like that, anyway there was a big section missing. I needed engine compression numbers and got replacing the stator twice.

Anyway, the seller was great. He had a couple more and sent me a replacement. Just have the seller check the page numbers before you buy to prevent any problems. There could be more of the bad copies floating around.
 
That must have been the custom GS manual. The motor has good compression, so you really don't need to know anything about it, and you have to replace the stator twice.](*,)
 
I have tried twice to download this manual. It was corrupted. Will try once more. Even with a high speed connection it is a very slow download. Perhaps something is wrong with their server.

did you get it to work? I downloaded mine awhile back. It's about 30mb, so I don't think I can email it to you. But if you want me to burn a copy for you and mail it to you, let me know.
 
Rt click-- save as should get it for you
If you can't get it to work I have it & can send it on CD
