Hi Rick,

See the link to Basscliff's mega-welcome in my signature. Spend a little while reading and familiarizing yourself with the bike and its maintenance procedures and you will have no problem getting that thing back on the road.

Welcome!

Hi,

I had a few minutes at work to spare and thought I'd drop by. Here's some interesting bits for you. Welcome.

If you are here you probably have a 30 year old motorcycle that needs about 20 years worth of maintenance. In the links below you'll find maintenance lists, documentation, wiring diagrams, "how to" guides, vendor links, tips, tricks, and a whole lot of GS goodness. This is your "mega-welcome". Let's get started.

Let me dump a TON of information on you and share some GS lovin'.

I just stopped by to welcome you to the forum in my own, special way.

If there's anything you'd like to know about the Suzuki GS model bikes, and most others actually, you've come to the right place. There's a lot of knowledge and experience here in the community. Come on in and let me say "HOoooowwwDY!"....

Here is your very own magical, mystical, mythical, mind-expanding "mega-welcome". Please take notice of the "Top 10 Common Issues", "Top 15 Tips For GS Happiness", the Carb Cleanup Series, and the Stator Papers. All of these tasks must be addressed in order to have a safe, reliable machine. This is what NOT to do: Top 10 Newbie Mistakes. Now let me roll out the welcome mat for you...

Another 650 on the site. Nice to meet you. Yours seems to be missing some parts, so I hope they are squirreled away somewhere.

The good news is there are plenty of parts available out there, both NOS and used. You even have a decent salvage yard not too far away in Salem.

Looking forward to seeing your progress.

Welcome and have fun getting her back on the road!
