    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.

Gs650l?

So I just bought an 82 GS650L, at least thats what it says on the side. I've been looking for some upgrade/maintenance parts, but I cant find anything for a GS650L. I've seen GS650GL, is that the same thing? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
 
Yep, same thing. For some reason, the "L"s never had the "G" as part of the artwork on the side, even though the standard "G" did.

BassCliff will be along shortly with his "Welcome Wagon" bit, so sit tight, get ready for LOTS of reading material. :D

Thanks! I've been poking around looking for some info. Planning on doing new brakes, lines, fluids, probably the MC off my Busa. Need ISO grips, pegs, new bars, cant do mini buckhorns. Looking forward to some words of wisdom :)
 
Don't try the MC off your 'Busa. :-k

All the 'Busas I have seen have had two disks on the front wheel, your 650L only has one. Yeah it makes a difference.

If you change your bars, look into changing your cables, too. Cables from a 650G will be shorter because the G came with more "normal" bars.
If you go with bars that are even lower and/or shorter, something from a 450S might work.

Lots of info there! I saw your website when I was poking around earlier. I just ordered a Clymer manual, it's worked great on my Busa. Think I'm going to get a set of bars that seem to be from a 650G maybe.

Any specifics on what would be an issue? Too much pressure?
