Hello all. I've got a 1984 GS1100GK.
For various reasons I haven’t been riding it the lastthree years. Just not enough time.
However my primary job was outsourced this summer so nowI’m ‘newly retired’ and wanting to ride again.
Glad to see the forum is still upand running. I’m sure I’ll need the help as I resurrect the GK.

Welcome (back) to TheGSR.

Could chat about retirement.
Could chat about GK.

Seems like i had more spare time before retirement.
Welcome back, d.

Retirement is ok so far. Plenty of mowing to do and grandkids to spoil.
I’ll try to post some links to pictures of the GK. It won’t win any beauty contests.
It’s not running atm. Carbs need rebuilding.
Hopefully I can get in some miles before winter.
Thanks for the welcomes

Tell us more (or maybe post in tech section).
Be interested to better understand what you have in mind for "rebuilding", and what are the symptoms to cause you to suspect the carburators.
Having sat for a few years, yah, carbs probably need attention, but lets discuss "rebuilding". Find the Carb Cleaning tutorial back on the GSR webpage (not the forum).

Probably going to need a battery also.
