GS1000 project

[Jaded]

Hello everybody, I'm new to the forum. I have a 1981 GS850G restored to very good condition, and this bike has gotten me hooked! I want to redo a GS1000, but like I said, am very new to all of this. I want to know if there are any major issues to watch for or any recurring issues people come across with the GS1000's. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Welcome.

Nice choice of a first bike, you will like the second even better. It is a lot like the 850, just that there is more of it.

Size-wise, it is identical, they even share the same part number for the frame.
The engine just has a bit more grunt through the entire range, making it that much more enjoyable.

You can see that we have a bit of experience with both of those bikes by clicking on the links in my sig.

Where are you? Please add your location to your profile, one of us might be close enough to lend a hand.
I will also suggest adding a signature that mentions your bikes, so you don't have to remind us what you are working on every time you ask a question.
