Need some specs for my new GS650G project

[hikermikem]

I've aquired a new project bike - 1982 GS650G, with less than 5k on it!

However, it's been stored outside for a while (only in summer), & needs a bit of spit, polish & a good carb cleaning. Haven't gotten a manual yet, but I was hoping someone here knows the following specs:

- valve clearances
- Spark plug gap
- Carb float height (both static & fuel level)
- Points gap
- timing

That info should get me going in the right direction!

Thanks for any input,

Mike

valve clearance is 0.03 to 0.08mm, 0.001-0.003 in. the spark plug gap is0.024-0.028in. recommended plugs are ngk D8EA or ND X24ES-U, good luck finding those! Ignition timing is non-adjustable and preset.Timing is 10 degrees btdc below 1,550-1.750 rpms and 40 degrees above at 3,400-3600 rpms Idle speed 1,000 to 1200 rpms. carb float height is 21.4mm-23.4mm or 0.84-o.92 in. without the float chamber gasket.Reduce the measurement 1mm if the gasket is still installed.This all was taken right out of the clymers manual.

Thank you VERY much. That info will allow me to get started on this bike. She doesn't run at the moment, but I think I'm going to have fun bringing her back to life!

Do yourself a favor and follow the carb clean up series on the GSR homepage. http://www.thegsresources.com/gs_carbrebuild.htm

Most newbies think they can shortcut the cleaning process and they wind up having to do the job twice.

You are going to need new carb o-rings and carb boot o-rings as well. Do the complete job up front and you will be WAY ahead of the game. http://www.cycleorings.com/

PM me and I will e-mail you with a pdf file containing a complete parts list/microfische all nicely bookmarked. I usually refer to this first then to my Clymers Manual, when I have to do anything on my bike.
