    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.

Stater and Reg/Rect problems on 82 GS650Ez

Thanks. Bike is very good original condition. Maybe a little better than Very good. Everything works, well, except the charging system, i have the components to fix that now
 
You don't see those bikes at all anymore. You'll have a head turner on your hands. Don't be surprised when people start asking you lots of questions. It's a very classy looking bike. Very civilized! :)
 
NZ didn't get them at all. The bike was imported from Canada by a woman who spent a few years over there teaching. Bike has 13,000klm's on the clock.

Pushing it around to take the photos i was surprised how light it was, easy to get it on and off the center stand. Center of gravity feels quite low as well.
 
I think that people who owned these bikes in the states purchased them and rode them into the ground. They just disappeared. The shaft drive GS650Gs are real rare. People loved those bikes, and I haven't seen one in decades. What's not to like, a nice size displacement, and a final drive that had none of the nasty torque problems that BMW's would so often displace in turns, depending on which way you were going, downshifting would lose you 3 or 4 inches of ground clearance. You have got a bike not only rare for your country, but not seen anywhere else either. :)
 
Rarity brings it own problems if/when something goes wrong. I did a lot of research and talked to a couple of people in NZ and Aus as well as the US before pulling the pin on the bike so i knew what i was getting into.

The bike having low K's and reading reviews, I agree, (without having ridden it), the bike has plenty of power combined with reliability, to do what i want to do with it.

Grand-kids are taking up precious bike time.:mad:. Joking.................My trip here is a bout them and the bike is secondary
 
First ride incorporating the test ride after the new charging system. More pics to come of where the reg/rec is mounted............. To busy smiling and riding to take them today.
