    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.

Picked up this 1981 gs850l with low miles. My first street bike - been riding dirtbikes my whole life, and when I got my enduro I was putting too many miles on that little thumper. Needed something that will (and has) stand the test of time. Got it for a good price and simply loving it. Sounds great, feels amazing and starts faster than.. well it's fast. I'll be coming here more often to ask for help for a little while because I know there will be a few things down the line that I can't very well call a dealership for anymore.
Thanks

Welcome to the forum Bernungass. You've come to the right place to have your questions answered. Lots of good info and discussion on the threads. Good looking machine!
 
Some people don't care for the styling but those 850Ls are great machines. Fun to ride, cheap to own, and will easily outlast you with a bare minimum of maintenance. Welcome to the board!
 
Welcome to the GSR.

looks like someone has already modified most of the L out of it, with the flatter bars.

do learn about the splined hub (called “joint assembly” an parts microfisch) that is IN the rear wheel.
