GS parts stolen right off bike?

[suzukitron]

thanks for the welcome and the craiglist link, thats pretty hilarious.
Crackheads are my sworn enemies for 2011.

finger prints are all over my bike, should I even bother calling the police?
LAPD btw.
They dont dust finger prints for minor theft do they?

[DanTheMan]

Dust for minor theft? HAhahahahahaha! You'de be lucky if you could get them to dust if they broke your house door down and dragged all of your belongings with them. If they found a dead body in the process of the visit they might dust for prints before they arrested you......

Unlocked garage, facing an open alley in Hollywood? You're lucky the bike is still there at all.

Anywhere away from the tourist areas is virtually sidearm country. I know - lived there for a while. Yeesh

Just read the add..TOTALLY PRICELESS!! Seem " MATT" needs to invest in a Model 1911A1 and cure the crackheads addiction! At the very least set up a video camera in his girls front window so he can ID and hunt the scum down later. Cap about 6 crackheads and the gun basically pays for itself in saved time and shop costs!!!

Sorry for the lost parts.

I'm looking for a new project bike so drop me a PM if you need that thing taken off your hands (and will sell for cheap).

Good luck

here is a "better" photo, still dont know what is missing exactly just got a new battery.

anybody know what the cut tube was connected to?

and Im assuming the dangling hemorrhoid applicator is for the spark plug?

Nessism don't think I'm gonna sell it as a parts bike, its was a functional clean bike before the crackhead incident.

Thanks again!

the front bit is a plug cap. Is a spark plug missing form its hole in the head?

Back hose looks lik a gas line it should probbaly attach to a tap-like fixtrue ont he bottom of the tank immediately above the carbs.

I think they were going for the tank but likely got scared or lacked the correct wrench.

Hi,

That spark plug cap/wire just plugs onto the top of the spark plug for that cylinder. Like this...



Is the spark plug there? I can't see it in the picture. A spark plug looks like this...





This is how it looks when it's connected properly. Look in the upper left corner below...



That cut tube could be from the petcock, a spigot type apparatus that allows gas to flow from the tank to the carburetors...




Feel free to visit my little website for lots of pictures to help you get familiar with your bike.

Thank you for your indulgence,

awesome thanks so much guys!

I'm pretty sure thats all that was stolen, crackheads trying to find the sparkplug.

now off to search for the right spark plug #
unless you guys have that part number memorized?

[BassCliff]

Hi,

If you'll visit my little website and do a little reading, you'll instantly find TONS of information about the GS motorcycles.

Spark plugs = NGK B8ES (for most).


Thank you for your indulgence,
