    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.

Recently bought a 81 gs650 bought as a rebuild with no cables.Im confused by the fuel lines I looked up and saw a post on bikecliffs page about the diagram but that page is from 8 years ago and will not load.I was thinking of buying a parts bike but 81 650 are not easy to come by I did see a 81 850.Are these identical in relation to the cables and brake system ?
 
You should find a cable routing diagram open either of the 650 Factory Service Manuals found on BikeCliffs. Not sure which one of the two applies to your bike but I was able to open both PDFs.
 
You mentioned the fuel lines.
THen ask questions about the cables and brakes, and 650 vs 850.

Do you still have question about fuel lines?
650G? L? E?
 
Looks like Basscliff's site is suffering from Photobucket-is-crap-itis. We'll have to find some new pictures for folks.

gs650GL (is called L but is officially GL)

Note: The pictures show European (not US) color schemes and emblems. But do look at chain vs shaft, and front axle location, shape of tank, and maybe fenders and rear cowl. Can also look at handlebars and seats, but those could have been change by prev owners.
 
The question about the 850.If I bought a 850gl parts bike and swapped all the cables onto the 650gl would it be compatible?
 
Thanks for the replies much appreciated the service manual is what I needed.
