    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.

Can anyone help me with an estimate of a gs 650 engine weight? (for shipping) I'm thinking about buying one to build with my daughter without ripping apart my (presently) running engine.
 
Just buy a whole bike - 3 non runners recently surfaced in my tiny corner. Bound to be some everywhere! great father/daughter project!
 
My GS1150 motor weighs 189 lbs. without a counter sprocket and oil.

I don't like to assume much, but I would guess that a 650 is less.

BUT, by the time you add a pallet, straps, cardboard, and any other packing or accessories the shipping weight was about 240lbs. I got my 1150 motor shipped from San Jose, Ca to Portland, OR for $175. It's about 700 miles up I-5. I can also only assume it would be more to AK for you. Only an assumption.

I think buying a whole basket case or two would be both more fun, and cheaper. Maybe you could buy enough junkers to make a matching pair for the two of you.
