    New ‘82 GS 650 L. Owner.

    Hey gentleman and ladies putting together an 82 650 with my old man. Just starting this experience is fun and exciting and can’t wait to be finished and ready to ride.

    Gentleman?
    You got the wrong place.
    Welcome to the site, Ben.
    Hopefully you have already found this collection of repair tips and manuals.

      Howdy! I ride a 650GL. Love it! Only thing I don't like is the small tank.

        This is my oldest son, Ben. We are slowly bringing his first bike back from the dead. This is the '82 650 L I bought last year and decided I really didn't need it in my collection. Decided to sell, and he decided he wanted it, lol. We currently have the carbs in a few hundred pieces, and he is following the "tutorial" for the most part, in addition to my guidance. Next will be fork seals, and tires... He is looking forward to being a part of the GS community...

        I'm sick of all these Irish stereotypes! When I finish my beer, I'm punching someone in the face ! ! !

          A little spit and polish and that'll be one sweet looking machine! Of all the repair boards I've been on the last few years this one is the best, hands down. Questions are usually answered quickly and straight forward, flaming/trolling is left for other places.

          LONG list of previous bikes not listed here.

          I identify as a man but according to the label on a box of Stauffers Baked Lasagne I'm actually a family of four

            I had a GS650GL 1982 for a year -
            They are pretty quick , handle well, and are as reliable as a hammer once they are sorted out
            I sold mine because I felt like it was too small for me - (mistake)
            So I got my 850 instead

            That will be an awesome bike
            Welcome aboard and thanks for your service
