    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...

    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.

This is my new-to-me GS...
It is a 1983 GS650L .
It appears redish/brugundy to me but I realize Suzuki had a NAME for this color...But I have no idea what they called it...
The color charts I find online are tough to use as I do not know the actual paint code numbers either...
But I have learned that the community here is expert in all things GS so ...Here is my plea....
What is the actual Suzuki official name of this color...?

When in doubt, go to the source, the official parts fiche.

All the different paints were item #7 on the fiche, show a quantity of 1 and show that you get 80 grams in the container.

7 99000-10109-019 PAINT (BLACK) 1[COLOR=#00800] 90G [/COLOR]
7 99000-10109-291 PAINT (BLACK SEMI-GLOSS) 1[COLOR=#00800] 90G [/COLOR]
7 99000-10209-05N PAINT (BURGUNDY METALLIC) 1[COLOR=#00800] 90G [/COLOR]
7 99000-10209-12R PAINT (SILVER METALLIC) 1[COLOR=#00800] 90G [/COLOR]
7 99000-10209-14A PAINT (ROYAL MAROON) 1[COLOR=#00800] 90G [/COLOR]

Maybe I mis spoke myself...
I really don't need the mixture....just the overall name of the color...
Like in my sig line..
My Goldwings are Pearl Blue and Cobalt Blue (custom)

So the 650 would be called by the original factory name of...?
Burgundy Metallic...? Royal Maroon..?
 
Well, since you want to get PICKY about it, ...

The '83 650G came in two colors.
Black with red stripes

and red.

The parts fiche says that the red on the G was 99000-10209-05L PAINT (CANDY IMPERIAL MAROON)

So, ... I guess that the darker color on your GL tank is probably the Burgandy Metallic and the lighter color is the Royal Maroon.
Hard to say for sure, though, as the color codes are not the same for the two "maroon" colors.
