New member with GS650E

Well I just wanted to let you guys know she is running after a month. I bought her and she wouldn't run without choke and since then I did a BS "carb clean", valve adjustment, exhaust header gaskets, evaporusted the tank, new air box and adjusted the idle mixture screws. And then when it still didn't run I pulled the carbs apart, stripped them, dipped them, replaced the o-rings, bench synced them, vacuum synced them, and adjusted the idle mixture screws. Oh and I also pulled the clutch apart and soaked the plates in oil to free them up.

Now I need to tighten the exhaust bolts to fix the exhaust leak and figure out why it's impossible to get her into neutral with the bike running. Thanks for all the help guys. And to all the new guys... Do it right the first time!

I'm from Michigan actually and sorry if I forgot to clarify... I am an (Electrical) engineer .

I think GS owners included a larger representation of electrical engineers, electricians and electrical technicians than the general public. And that is probably not a random chance.

WHere in Mich....?
