1977 gs550 died on me today
Hello fellow bikers! I am new to this forum but I purchase a 1977 gs550 4 days ago from a private seller and it had it's first break down today. I rolled up to a stop sign and the bike stalled on me. I looked under my bike and it had a massive puddle of what I think was gas and then the light and the dash stopped working so I think the battery might have died. Any thoughts on what could have gone wrong? The bike does not make any noise now whatsoever when I try to turn it on. Please help!!! This is my first vintage bikeTags: None
