Does this sound right...?

Went for a short ride on the new-to-me GS650L . Placed the Go Pro video camera on the tank... most of the view was obscured by the gauges ....

Does it sound right to you...? (Turn up your sound)

The idle hangs a little - and the #2 seems to be running slightly cooler than the rest when I laser temp measure the pipes...(about 10 degrees at 130) ...

I think I have more tuning of the carbs to do...

Exhaust note sounds a little wet (rich) at lower rpms, and there might be an exhaust rattle/header leak. I think I'm picking up a speedo/tach cable whine as well (but could be due to the GoPro).

The bike sounds great!

What took you so long...?

WOW...Great observations...(and quick too)

I think the speedo cable is hanging up a little - especially near or above 70 MPH. I will lube it.

Wet - rich would explain what I smell , and sense as I start it cold...Gonna have to take the tank back off & work those idle adjustment screws a bit more...I know the synch is off a little too on the center adjuster..it was/is a real bear to get at and I am not confident I have them balanced properly...

I think the exhaust like sound is a rattle from the above conditions...

But it's getting there...

My son should have a couple of videos up in the next few days that he shot at the Brown County Rally last weekend.

Then you will hear what an '82 650L can sound like.
