    GS850G Idle

    Probably a lame question (or at least basic). Does the GS 850 G have one adjustment control for the high / low idle. My bike won't idle without the choke a bit on. Basically, how may I idle it up. Thanks

    If yours is like my '80 850, there is a knob under the carbs, between 2 & 3, facing toward the rear wheel. It's difficult to see, but once you know where it is, you can find it while sitting on the bike. To find it, you'll probably have to down on your hands and knees and look up at the carbs from the vicinity of the foot pegs.

        Thank You both, I was looking for the control knob described but couldn't see it. I'll take a closer look this evening.
