Got my GS 750's

[SVSooke]

Picked up my 4 GS 750's on Saturday,1 85 EF with papers and 3 83's 2 EF's and an E that is crashed.None of the 83's have papers.Payed $800 for all of them.Was to busy Saturday to do anything with then so went out yesterday (Sun) after work and tried to start the 85.When I hit the starter the second time it ran for a second and died.OK I thought lets take off the tank to see what's going on.Do that,hit the starter and away she went.Yes I was excited.Bad fuel tap,With 3 other bikes I found a good one
Here's a link to my Photobucket albumhttp://http://s573.photobucket.com/albums/ss171/sersooke/GS750%20pics/

Bad link, try again....http://s573.photobucket.com/albums/ss171/sersooke/GS750%20pics/, now it works. Good find.

 

[SVSooke]

Thanks for fixing the link Dan.Computer newb.When I looked at them the first time the guy said people looked at the papered one but passed on the deal as it didn't run.Looks like I'm the semi smart one that saw the potential.Lots of work to get it looking good again but hey it's what I wanted!

Looks like you should be able to get somthing on the road. I'm pretty happy with my supertrapp even though it still doesn't have the end cap and difussers, it still sounds great.. check out my link.. My header also had a couple of flat spots, but they were fixable. IF for some crazy reason you need to get rid of the fuel tank gas cap (One with the little hinge) let me know..

I'm envious. You could loose yourself out in those for weeks....sighhhh

When you are in photobucket SV there will be a box underneath that says "IMG" code. Right click and copy that link then paste it in the body of your GSR post and you will get nice big pics like this. Nice find BTW!

 

[SVSooke]

Thanks Guys.Russ33 yeah I was thinking about that today.Works the same here as it does at SVRider.Something I read when I joined made me think it didn't.
azr,yeah I'm having fun exploring them.Going to cherry pick the best pieces for the 85
Rkt-Rch,The second black one has a header to looks better than the crashed bikes so I'm good to go,I hope.I'm keepin the flush cap on the 85 tank thanks.
GS road racer,You snooze you lose:dancing:

Took the carbs off to see how they look.Don't think I need to rebuild but will see.Give them a good cleaning at any rate.Forgot how much fun it is to take I4 mixxers off,not!

OK what am I doing wrong?

You need to click on the little icon that looks like a little mountain above and insert in the box and then hit enter

 

[sackman]

I'd say ya got one heck of a deal for sure!

 

[SVSooke]

I'll crack this picture thing another time.See my album link for now,thanks.Did a carb clean today,not a full breakdown but they where not that bad.Enough crud to make it worth while though.Exploring the second black bike I found a fairly new battery,Put it on my battery tender overnight and today.Checked the voltage,it was 12.9.If it holds there abouts I've got two good batteries.Also found a tool kit and another air filter.

 

[SVSooke]

Cracked the picture thing.Needed to clean the carbs.For got how hard it is to get the carbs off a old GS.

Let the cleaning begin.Other than the crud they looked OK.

Ready to go back in.The are mostly in now.I ran out of light and patients today.Also put one of the fuel taps in the tank.The diaphragm was toast.

 

[SVSooke]

Got the 85 running again today,Used to be able to get I4 cabs out easier than this seemed to be.Think I will get better with practice.Had a bit of drama with the fuel tap I put on.It didn't,no problem with 3 parts bikes I just tried another one and:

That one flowed fuel,obviously.Once I adjusted the idle speed it is great.Runs like a top.Picked up a couple of oil filters today as they where on clearance.Going to put the dino Rottela in that I bought for the SV.Next big thing is to get the Supertrap on.

 

[AF_Bill]

Very nice deal. I take it the 85 is the all black one. What are your future plans as far as paint?

 

[SVSooke]

Yes the 85 is the all black one.Paint is in the air at this point.Wear this all the time

So I want something that does not clash.Also want to keep the gold wheels so I'm thinking some red and black with gold pinstripes.
PS: Yes I wear gloves.Off to take pics

 

[Macmatic]

Ha! Feel free to copy the paint scheme on my EF. Good luck and great find, I'm jealous! Also my EF is built out of parts bikes, an E, ES, EF and a 'busa so don't worry, you should be able to get at least three of those running!

I do have the 85 running,forgot to post it up here so here is an update on my progress to date.Tried to start it last Sunday with the tank on.She started for a second then died.Took the tank off ,hit the starter and away she went,bad fuel tap.Decided to clean the carbs(pics above).Finally got it all back together Saturday and she ran very nicely.Had to change taps as the first one didn't work.
Yesterday I went to change the oil and got distracted by some oil drips around the sprocket cover.Took that off an found this

The freshest oil didn't seem to from the counter shaft seal but from the round piece under that(GPI feed?).It was loose so I tightened it.

Cleaned up nicely
Proceeded to drop the oil,got this out

May have been overfilled!

 

[SVSooke]

Had her out for a very short spin in my private roads here.Had to move the right fork as it got tweaked over so the carrier was rubbing the disk.Top triple was also lose.Think I'm going to put new seals on the red 83s fork legs and transplant the 85 anti-dive units to them.They are in way better shape than the ones on the 85.
