    Any tips for removing carbs?

    82 gs650, decided to go do a carb rebuild. Annoyingly, the carbs are like cemented onto the engine side boots. They came off fine from the air box, but no matter how much wiggling and pulling I do, I can?t get them free from the engine side. Any tips? Also I can?t just remove the screws that...

    '82 GS650, running very oddly, someone help me make sense of this please...

    Ah, good catch. Didn?t even think about changing those big rings, figured they weren?t a problem. I?ll look into that

    I guess this is probably a dumb question, but how do I adjust fuel and air mix on the carb?

    '82 GS650, running very oddly, someone help me make sense of this please...

    Hi all, I just put the bike back together after doing some work, part of which involved taking off the exhaust. The bike ran pretty well before, but now it has a lot of problems. So, first off, when I first reattached the exhaust and started it back up, I noticed I had a lot of leaking smoke...

    Turn signal indicator light won't work

    Yeah, exactly. No problem with the actually blinker, just the instrument cluster light

    Turn off daytime lights?

    1982 gs650gl. Is there a way to turn off the daytime lights? Not too big of a deal, it's just annoying, and I don't want it to end up accidentally killing my battery.

    Turn signal indicator light won't work

    '82 650gl. Hi, title says most of it. I just tried replacing the bulb, and that's not the problem. The neutral indicator works, but I can't get signal indicator to. does anyone know of any resources or things I can try to fix it?

    Is the '81 gs650's oil pan the same as '82s?

    I was looking at it today and it looks like I would be able to take out the oil pan without messing with the exhaust. It look like I can slide it down towards the back of the bike, are you sure that won?t work?

    Is the '81 gs650's oil pan the same as '82s?

    Stripped drain plug thread, not sure if I want to spend a ton of time trying to possible unsuccessfully fix it, and I can only find '81 oil pans on ebay. Will this fit? Thanks

    GS650GL stripped oil drain bolt thread

    I see that there are the thread repair kits, but I can't even get my bolt out. How can i go about this?

    GS650GL stripped oil drain bolt thread

    I see that there's a pinned discussion about this, but I didn't actually see any details about how to go about fixing this. The bolt goes from tight to slightly loose, as if its about to come out, but then it goes back to being tight and the bolt doesn't actually move at all. Is there anything I...

    Idle Adjustment knob doesn't do anything?

    Update: Dumb mistake, the adjustment knob was just unscrewed to the point where spinning it a whole rotation didn?t affect the idle. Had to spin it all the way in, dumb mistake. I am going to do the valves though now that you all brought it up, so thanks

    Idle Adjustment knob doesn't do anything?

    I just bought and installed a new oem-fitting airfilter. It was a pain to get in because my airbox cover clips both broke, but it should be good. I'll look into cleaning the carbs. Thanks

    Idle Adjustment knob doesn't do anything?

    Thanks for the reply Steve. I'll look into cleaning the carbs. Also, I'm pretty certain I was messing with the right knob, it was the knob sticking out between the 2&3 bowl. Now for the valves... I've never messed with valves before, and is not something I'm familiar with my any means. On bike...

    Idle Adjustment knob doesn't do anything?

    Thanks for the reply. I did drain and soak all 4 carbs overnight, and I did seem to get some junk out of there. There was a bad amount of solids in the bowls, but I think I got most of it out with the second drain. It runs well besides the idling, so I'm reluctant to having to go through and...

    Idle Adjustment knob doesn't do anything?

    Hi, Recently buyer of an '82 650GL. I just went through and swapped all the fluids, drained the carb and soaked it in Sea Foam, replaced plugs and whatnot. The bike runs good, it just has some weird tendencies. I can't get it going without choke, because it idles too low, and the idle...
