    Runs great but dies immediately at idle.

    Yes I did. When I turn it up the revs will hang a bit. I set the pilot screws from 2 turns out to 4 turns out. I used a colourtune but the colour did not change from a light blue colour.

    Runs great but dies immediately at idle.

    Hi guys My 1981 GS1000g runs very well to redline but wont idle at all. Carbs are cleaned (dipped), Valve clearance adjusted, no leaks on the intake side. Bike starts easy but have to apply throttle to keep it from dying. When it revs and I let go of the throttle, it drops straight down and...

    Cold start problem- only bump start when cold

    Okay I will. How do I go about cleaning the harness? Is cleaning all the connections and grounds enough? Will it help to reduce the voltage drop?

    Cold start problem- only bump start when cold

    Is there a tutorial for the relay mod? My horn does not work. It sounds like it wants to but only makes a quick soft horn sound and then nothing.

    Cold start problem- only bump start when cold

    Hi guys My Gs1000 G wont start when I push the start button. It just turns over. I then have to bump start the bike and when I do, it starts right up. It idles perfect and rides very well. Starts very easily after that when using the button. I checked the valve clearance and : Ex 1 - 0.05mm...

    GS1000 G bump starts only.

    Thanks for the quick response. I have an update: A while ago I saw that only two of the three wires from the stator was connected to the r/r. I left it alone cause the bike ran well. Tonight I decided to do further investigation and had a look at the wiring diagram. The male connection of the...

    GS1000 G bump starts only.

    Hi guys My 81 GS1000 G will only start if I bump it. The battery can be fully charged and still wont start. The bike starts easily when I use the bump start method and after that it will start every time with the start button. I think it is either the battery or maybe a bad stator..? Volts...

    Tachometer is not moving. (GS1000 G)

    I bought a new cable cause the bike did not have one. I installed it and started the bike and nothing happened. I then took the tachometer out of the speedo unit and opened it up. Inside is a magnet type disk that seems to almost touch a round bowl like piece that spins around to a certain...

    How to polish engine case on my GS

    That engine looks great. Maybe a stupid question, but when I remove the engine covers on the left and right side, will any oil come pouring out? I know that on the one side is the stator but what is on the other side? Gears? The thing is that I just change the oil...

    Leaded vs Unleaded fuel??

    Can anybody tell me what the difference will be when I use leaded fuel vs unleaded fuel in my 81 GS1000 G on performance and overall condition of engine? The PO told me to use lead replacement petrol. I read now for the first time that the manual states that I should use unleaded fuel. Should...
