Howdy:) this is my first time ever joining a forum group. I often search technical issues on the web while working on my 1980 Suzuki gs1000g. It is a great bike. I love it. I paid $400 for it 10 years ago. I have had to do very few repairs over the years. All I have really had to do is oil changes,occasional carb cleaning , new tires and last week I replaced the stator and regulator rectifier. It is a very simple design and it is easy to work on.
