I recently bought an old '81 gs650 (gt I'm pretty sure). Funny enough its my first bike I have ever owned. Most of it seems solid, the intake valve on the third cylinder does not seal fully, but I am currently in the process of replacement. Some of the electrical required some fixes so I have actually made the decision to build a fully computerized system. I am nearing the completion of a degree in electrical engineering so I have a fair amount of experience dealing with computers and electrical systems. Mechanical systems and aesthetic parts on the other hand I am sure I will have many questions regarding these topics. I using this site for a while now as a guest and figured it was time to join in on the fun. I am really looking forward to making this bike my own and learning a lot along the way. Thanks!

Hi, I just joined myself.
My current bike is a GSX1100g , it has lots of modification and seems like it's been through hell and coming back so I figured the Suzuki guys on here would be my best bet for help tips and share if I can.
The gsx1100g forum has dwindled to a yahoo bulletin board (wierd to make use of) , the Bandit forum wouldn't let me on with a hotmail email address for some reason, the GSXR forum makes my computer jam/freeze doesn't work.
I've found Suzuki to be the most interchangeable I've tinkered on so far By the way.

Unfortunately it is currently in about 50 pieces so no pics quite yet. I'll put some up as soon as it gets back into motorcycle looking shape. Got a lot of time the next few weeks so should be able to make lots of process here quickly. If anyone has any tips for computerized ignition though I would love to hear them!

You could have paid over $1000 and still have to pay additional.
By paying only $200, it is easier to afford the extra.
