    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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.

Done!

I finally got this GS450A pieced back together and actually rode it today.
It sat for over 15 years. I had some trouble with the carbs. I took them apart again today and cleaned everything. It took awhile to get it started, but when it did, it ran nicely. I am going to try put up a pic here.

hows the automatic feel?

It's different. I haven't rode an automatic since I was around ten years old. My buddy had an auto dirtbike. It's kinda cool. It is a very smooth ride. I let my neighbor ride around the block a few times. The license plate is dated 1987, so I can't ride too far. I still have to get a title for it. It's very fun to ride.:D

does it shift by its self or is it just clutchless?

It has two gears actually. Low and High. For around the town, you just use low. It is good for up to around 40-50 MPH. If you are going onto the highway, shift into high. All the way down is neutral, one up-low, two-up high. It does not shift by itself at all.
