    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.

Hi all,

Im from minnesota and ive been riding for two seasons now. My first bike was a absolutely clapped gs550l that i sold last winter. I was on the hunt for a new bike and I found a absolutely mint gs with 2500 miles listed at 1600 dollars. I quickly called the guy and drove a hour and a half to get it. I managed to get the bike for 1400. Bike ran great but the battery had died on the way home. I am currently in the middle of diagnosing stator and or rectifier/ regulator issues. But in the end I couldnt be happier with the bike. Happy to be apart of the forum. Thanks guys.
 
Welcome to the site, Snowman.
Great looking bike.
I prefer the look of the stock flat seat but that one looks .comfortable
 
Nice bike. Congrats.

The ground for the regulator is very poor on those bikes and goes through the battery box. Fair chance corrosion is causing the issue.

Looks like an L model seat.

Good luck
 
Simply beautiful! Nice score and small sacrifice for such a good looking bike.
