RESTORING A BEAUTY from the past!!!!! HELP all

[1982gs650E]

So i absolutely am displeased in every form with my local dealership. They could give a rats ass about you or your bike unless its some 2009 50,000 dollar bike and even then they dont care. You guys are so lucky you dont have to deal with *******s like these and im lucky to have such a forum as this with awesome dedicated people.
The guy basically told me that my bike is a dusty relic cuz its 27 years old and that everyone is or should throw them all away. Also that no parts dealer should have to make parts for something so old its too much of a hassle..

and all i wanted him to help me with was parts numbers so i could see if something matched over for an aftermarket brand.
Total jerk, even though i already knew this and they have this rep throughout the town

Look up the Suzuki part number here...just go to the parts diagram pulldown, Suzuki motorcycles and find the year and model of your bike.

Well, start with the obvious. Is your cable turning at the top?

with some more peeking it seems that my cable has broken near the bottom towards the tire. So a new one i guess is in order

So i did the coil relay mod and was blown away by the results.. Although somewhere along the line i managed to make bike able to run without the key in it( after you start with key in you can take it out and it still runs.. i fixed that by correcting the wires i messed up.

I saw an improvement in the start, fired up instanty.. no holding the button down and giving it gas. also i felt a great response in the throttle compared to what i was getting.. so much less hesitation


shes gets more beautiful with every passing day Thanks to all of you of course


and now my throttle cable has snapped, fortunately before i went anywhere and got stranded
