1982 Suzuki GS650G Motorcycle Ride in the Santa Monica Mountains GS650

This is my 1982 Suzuki GS650G Motorcycle. See it at www.hoohoohoblin.com I made this videos to show you why I like the bike, what it's like to ride it, and what it's like to ride a motorcycle in the Santa Monica mountains on some of my favorite roads, including Mulholland Drive, Stunt Road, and Latigo Canyon. The old Suzuki GS650G is one of the best all-around motorcycles a person could find. It is 499 pounds with a tank full of gas, has a drive shaft and electronic ignition, triple disc brakes, and adjustable suspension. It handles well on a twisty road and is comfortable on the freeway. Plus the motorcycle's riding position is very comfortable, so I feel good at the end of the day.

well i took a ride on the gs650E the ran ok WHEN THE BIKE IS HOT WILL NOT START ANY IDEA WHAT IT IS

[hoohoohoblin]

@macdaddy1600 It could be electrical. I did a video on how to replace the ignition system on my Honda enduro bike. It would start and run great for about 7 miles, and it would die and be impossible to start until it cooled off. It was either a bad ignition coil or CDI box. I'm not sure which, but I suspect it was the coil. I replaced both. It could also be from a really dirty air filter not letting enough air into the engine when it's hot.

also i was messing around with the shifter i didnt know it was a 4 speed so that should be pretty easy learning on i think its better to learn on plus it good to see what gear your in do u have any tips on shifting what is the gear pattern was kinda confused since im new to riding

[hoohoohoblin]

@vinngrizzle It has 5 gears. To get into first gear, shift the lever all the way down.  Neutral is right above first, and then second through fifth are up from there. The gear position indicator on the dashboard will remind you what gear you are in.

i had a 1980gGS1000g man i miss that bike never had a problem with the bike and it was fast nice bike. right now looking at a 1982 gs650e

thanx i will keep that in mind i didnt know where else to look and thought youtube would be great to find people with my same bike and youve been the most helpful the bike ran last summer until i took the battery out i know it needs a new one and def some battery connectors the guy that i bought it from drove it all around but said sometimes its hard to start some hoping with a tune up it should be good to go i will post a video as soon as this is complete thanx again

[hoohoohoblin]

@vinngrizzle My bike ran really bad because the guy I bought it from had removed the stock air filter. When I bought a new air filter and installed it in the stock airbox, the bike ran great. If you remove the airbox and filter, the fuel mixture is too lean and you need to adjust the carbs to compensate. The GS650 is a great bike. I also recommend playing around with the rear suspension settings to tune the ride the way you like it.
