Would like people to send me audio file of their properly running GS four cylinders

[adamb]

Got a silly request.

I've got my 1978 GS550, and it's running roughly. I'm going to buy a clymer and adjust the valves and clean the carbs. But, I'd like a reference of some other older four cylinder bikes so I know what it should sound like! I can't "tell" without any reference if it's running properly. Does that make sense?

Any format (audio video) is fine...

Yea renobruce, your bike idles so nicely. Cant wait to get my vacuum issues all settled so that i can hear my bike idle as nice as yours.

Cool - very nice sound coming from your gs1000.

Here's a few of my GS550:

I'm not sure if it sounds right, or not.

It sounds pretty close. Do that valve adjustment and carb clean-up. Order the carb oring kit AND intake orings from robert barr www.cycleorings.com Look in the carb clean-up section for some good help and pics. Let us all know if you run into any snags or need any help with anything.

I wondered where that went!

A couple of my GS's - always running good!

'79 GS550E - idle revving to 10,000 RPM: http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/1...-video-001.avi

'79 GS550E - idle through third gear, WOT: http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/1...-video-003.avi

I haven't owned that bike in 3 years, but I never get tired of hearing that clip.

'83 GS1100E - idle, walk-around: http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/6...ound-video.avi

'83 GS1100E - light revving: http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/6...-rev-video.avi

Never did the WOT video with the 1100E. Unfortunately, I'd be going way too fast WOT in third gear!

I need to record some video of the '71 CB500 for everyone, it sounds sweet.

Hey, what in the heck is wrong with your guys bikes anyway? Where is the clicking, clanking and rattles we're all used to? I hardly recognized them as GS motors!
