    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

Project?

Looks like it just needs a bath and it's ready to go! Nice!
 
Wow, Nice and Nice. Great find.

700 is reputed to have long duration cams to get back some of the top end they lost when the engine was destroked. Should be a rev monster.

I recently picked up a 750ES and spent the entire weekend working on it. These 3rd generation GS bike seems to be high quality and are pretty easy to work on.

Enjoy.:)
 
Not running

Not running

Yeah its pretty clean but it has not run in 2 years, the guy who had it last did drain the fuel prior to parking it. I may tear down the carbs this weekend, it came with a new battery and some spare parts. Any suggestions other than the cleaninig the carbs to getting her to fire?
I am thinkin about selling it......

Any time I get a new GS the carbs get rebuilt w/new o-rings inside and on the intake boots, and the valves get adjusted before I even bother to fire it up. If the brake fluid is dark a full system teardown is in order as well. Changing the oil is a given as is new tires if the ones on the bike are old. Once you get it running, sync the carbs and check the charging system. All basic stuff.

I'm most likely going to sell the one I bought as well but you never know.:) Old GS bikes seem to be a better investment than the stock market these days so it can't hurt to hold onto them these days.

Bike value depends on condition, location, and season. You need to provide more information before an informed estimation can be made.
 
Awesome. You lucked into a cool bike fer sure. I also lucked into a 700 ES a few months ago.
