Trying to see if a non-runner runs. Will be cleaning the carbs. The exhaust is not straight forward. Will a test run without the exhaust work? (I'm guessing it will be loud) if it does fire w.o the exhaust, will the missing exhaust give symptoms that may indicate issues that may not actually be there if the exhaust was installed?

1983 GS750E - bought in 2016 as a rough runner to use while rebuilding 81L and then to combine with ES to make one good one
1983 GS750ES - bought in Toronto in 2015 on a lark as a non-runner, missing front cowling and exhaust - If you have a 1983 750ES front cowling let me know! Blue would be nice -
You could run it long enough to see if there's anything major wrong with the internals IF you can hear something out of whack. Don't expect to be able to get it doing much beyond running though, truth is if you do get it running you'll still need to go through things like carbs, checking out ignition system etc. either way. Like I mentioned, you're only going to be able see if there's major problems.1980 Yamaha XS1100G (Current bike)

I couldn't resist when I was installing a new, chrome-ier exhaust on my Z1. So I hit the button when one (or more) of the pipes were not installed. It fired...literally.
The noise, you can imagine. It may have been the flame that scared me most, but I quickly hit the kill switch and never tried it again.1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red
