    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.

Name that bike!

Thinking about picking up this 850 parts bike. The seller says it's an 83, but somehow i don't think he's right (kickstarter?) Any guesses as to the year? Thanks.

Hope these pics show up...

Kick start, VM carbs, solid brake disc's, round front master cylinder.

I'd have gone for an early 1979/80 version myself.

Suzuki mad
 
I believe the kickstarter was installed only on pre-'80 models.

The bodywork and many other parts from that bike will not fit yours, but there are quite a few parts that will. I don't think it'd be worth more than $100 as a parts bike for a newer GS850.
 
Thanks, I kinda figured he was off by a few years.

I'm mostly just interested in the exhaust system (rusty though it may be) as I'm currently running a set of GS1000 pipes that only kinda sorta fit and make my centrestand grind when i corner too sharply. (not cool)

Anyone know offhand if these pipes will fit my 81? thanks again.
 
I need to correct myself. For some reason, I thought you had an '83 GS850.

All the parts and pieces off that bike will fit yours, including the exhaust.
 
79 was the first year for the 850 and the only year for the kickstart
