Hey y'all - a couple months ago the barn where I was storing my '87 Suzuki GS450 burnt down and took my bike with it. So from the ashes of my loss here are some spare parts I'm letting go. Totally negotiable on everything. All parts can be mailed but buyer pays shipping. Happy to answer any...

Put 'em up yesterday. I'll end the auction early & free shipping for DTT members who are interested.
Thanks Rich. I was wondering if an air leak was the issue. Reorder will be on its way. I've looked but none of the diagrams I've seen include the choke lever that'd I'd like to keep.
Alrighty folks - fell off the wagon for a few months but getting back on here. Video of her running here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBMyfKPBmv0
You can kinda hear the rising idle in the video. When I'm pulling up to a stop sign and shift down, the idle remains high, and I have to let the...
Re: 1987 Suzuki GS450 - carb issues
Double-checked the carbs, put 'em back in, got the air screws out two full turns, dialed in the idle adjustment, and now she's purring pretty good. Gunna take her out tomorrow for the first time in two months (yikes) and see if everything feels right.
Re: 1987 Suzuki GS450 - carb issues
The pilot jets I pulled last night were labeled 17.5. Would bumping that up a size or two change things? I plan on installing pods this winter anyway.
Edit: and by "change things" I mean help me find the correct idle level by bringing more fuel in, or am I...
Re: 1987 Suzuki GS450 - carb issues
Rich - the mixture screws are currently 1 1/2 turn out from bottom. Will be messing with that tonight. Pilot jets were blasted with carb cleaner and compressed air after the boil and look good to go.
Could the slide springs cause the carbs to be out of sync?
Re: 1987 Suzuki GS450
Boiled the carbs in lemon juice yesterday and got 'em back on. All the o-rings etc. seemed good to go and not shitty. One of the springs in the diaphragm is much longer than the other one...how big of an issue is that?
Anyways, as before, the bike is still only running...
Re: 1987 Suzuki GS450
Haven't done a carb clean yet but got it started. Running pretty rough and rich. Going to be adjusting idle screws today to see if that helps. If not, then the carbs are coming apart, getting cleaned, new o-rings installed, and then carb synch.
As slow as my progress may...
Thanks guys! Not on iTunes or anything yet, but you can hear some more music over at www.professorgreenhouse.com or www.soundcloud.com/professorgreenhouse for some original demos that we don't normally release to the general public. ;)
Re: 1987 Suzuki GS450
Everything looked good to go this morning so I try to start her...no go but not surprising since she's been sitting for two months now. When I moved the petcock to prime she started leaking gas from somewhere below the carbs. I double checked everything under the tank and...
Looking for the right hand side 2-1 exhuast for a 82-86 GS650. Stock or aftermarket whatever. Should bolt right up to my 87 GS450 but if I'm wrong somebody let me know.

A 1986 Suzuki GS650L "EXHAUST A" - It looks like the right side, which is what I'm shooting for an a 2-1. Its only $50 but the shipping is $100. Gunna make a trip to the local...
I saw this open letter and thought I'd share it here. Nice read and reiterates what a lot of folks here have been saying. To sum it up, keep your eyes on the damn road and you won't have to wonder where that bike came from or why the rider is giving you the bird - or, worse, why you launched...
Re: 1987 Suzuki GS450
The new flasher works; thanks for the tip everyone. Now I've gotta figure out why the brake light is staying on and not responding.
