Title: Back in the Game!!!
Post by: dyran on February 16, 2009, 10:15:08 PM
Hey all,

I just picked up a 1994 GS500E (Currently Purple, soon to be changed to a nice black and yellow). The bike seems to be in good shape, I'll need to clean the carbs but I turned it over this afternoon with a little help of carb cleaner in through the spark plug holes. I'm on reading week for school so tomorrow is Carb cleanin' time!

This is my 4th bike, my first was a 1990 GS500 put 30,000kms on it in one season (wished I'd never sold it), bought a 2002 CBR600 F4i put 5,000kms on her until my computer died and need a computer for school more than a bike so off she went, I then picked up an 80s Kawi 440Ltd which had been sitting for 15 years, rebuilt everything in one of the craziest days of my life (gentlemen NEVER take on a rebuild project the day before any form of anniversary) then the guys at the shop wrote the model number in front of the VIN on the safety sheet and of course it was different than the VIN which made the government worker confused and she wouldn't license it so I said nuts to that and sold the bike after taking it for a brief ride (I already had insurance, just no plates). Sorry about the little rant there... anywho, I'm excited to have a good ol' GS again!
