I struggle to get mine started now. It's meen a out 4 or 5 years since it ran. It has spark but it won't start. Cleaned the carburator put back new home made gasket. But still won't start. Cleaned the tank from rust today New fuel tap. Will test tomorrow again

What about your tank was it rusted. Mine is rusted. I am trying to get it started please help me. Mine don't have a battery too and I need a shock absorber for it it uses a mono shock under the seat

Do you still drive it. Where do you get parts.

I have the 1981 model. And it's been standing years. mine has spark but it just won't start. Cleaned the carb but still no start.

2007 GS 1200, 70K trouble free miles. Agree with everything you said. The low speed clunkiness is not a gearbox isdue but the stupid lean condition created by the stupid California CARB emissions restrictions. Anyone have any luck with the AF-XIED mod. thats supposed to fix this issue?

Awesome ride, awesome video 👍

Once, I was traveling in the south of my country (Argentina) and had a problem with the clutch, which delayed me due to repairs. The bike, a TTR125 modified for street use, was ready on Saturday at 4 PM, and I had to be at work at 8 AM on Monday, 1600 km away (Bariloche - Buenos Aires). I left and rode all night at 80 km/h until 3 AM when I stopped, slept on the side of the road, and set off again at 6 AM. I got home at 1 AM on Monday, completely cramped and exhausted. I was younger and could do these things; today, I don't think it's possible, and I would ask for another day off to travel more relaxed. These experiences help form a bond with the bike, and what better way to do it than how you did, covering 2000 km in 2 days.

You have forgotten loads of issues.. Such fork (that breaks) throttle body pulley that also brake , plastic fuel pump fitting that breaks German quality??

Hi! Where would you suggest one look for a Condor to buy that is in relatively good condition?

Thanks for getting on the bike and showing us how tall it is. What's your inseam measurement?

I have always ridden sport bikes I just bought one of these for 3k and it is in fantastic shape but I know nothing about them? Has 17k miles

Omg I just got a Jen 1 with only 2000 miles ❤

You’re from the glass generation

funny cars. I have a samurai 1988 SJ413, it is a mule!

Did you notice the influence of the higher viscosity oil in GB on consumption?

try adding Liquid Molly MoS2 gear additive to the trans, made a big difference on how mine shifted still not great but much better

I wonder if you could retrofit a rear differential lock

My gearbox broke, my abs pump brok, mud hugger broke, handgrip heating broke too, on my 2008 gs with only 63 000 k on it. rubber from the telelever broke too. , great bike, not perfect . I will fix it all under 2000 euro.

제품 가격이 어떻게 되나요? 한국화폐가격이요?

I used mine to commute on a 2 lane mountain road (Ortega Hwy, from San Juan Capistrano to Lake Elsinore) for almost 30,000, never had a problem...until yesterday. Transmission. I've ridden freeways and, aside from becoming a little uncomfortable after a few hours, it rides fine up to 80-85. I don't mind hitting that speed, but i won't keep it there long. I normally ride 65 to 70 on the freeway and it's always felt pretty good. It does burn some oil. And riding up and down the mountain, 45 to 50 mpg. The only issue i ever had is when I don't have a knobby on the front, in the dirt it can be treacherous. It washes out so easily and, between the weight and torque, it's fun to keep it upright. Now as for my transmission. I don't know transmissions at all, I haven't worked on a bike in over 40 years, but I've got TH-cam!

You have a warthog in your yard , great video

This is my favorite car! I use it every day to go to my farm! Love it!

Is the 6L the same designed?

Thanks for taking your time to gather the data. Very interesting. I don't ride a motorcycle because I'm not interested in speed or power. I find it easier to mount and work the controls on a scooter. When I get on a scooter, my goal is to have a slow, leisurely, fun ride. When on a 250 cc or less scooter, I can twist the throttle as hard and quick as possible, and all I get is a nice acceleration that isn't jerky, and won't throw me off the seat. But to each their own.

Fuel pump problems. There's also something to do with air intake system specifically filter issues

Here in Thailand they are called caribian and i have the mini pickup version - i looooove my Suzuki❤

I just "upgraded" to a 2015 R1200GS. I really, really like it so I am not downing the new. I preferred my 2007 R1200GS.

There is a Chinese brand called Apsonic. I use that. I specifically use the GY-9 bike. It is very reliable transportation from work to home. Never gave me a single issue. ❤

I had one, very uncomfortable seat. There is a hack to turn off rear ABS, its actually in the manual.

KTM 690 Enduro without a doubt. The G650 X Challenge is also a much better contender than the F650.

Hello from Mumbai, India I used to drive a Maurti Suzuki Baleno 1.6 daily from 2005 till early this year. Now I drive it once or twice a week. This car has never failed me in many many trips to work or outstation 500km to 1000km drives. I have recently added the new Jimny 5 door AT

Excellent; i have only just purchased an '06 GS 2 days ago; 30,000 Km's (18400Miles) and just had major service completed and 2 new tyres fitted; it's like a new bike, only 18 years young; i had an '04 GS that i regretted selling a few years ago so when i saw this one advertised, i jumped on it; at nearly 60, i was lined up to buy a new Cfmoto450 but the universe led to me one last search for a 'cheap' older GS with low use...and i found it after nearly 2 years of looking; i don't need or want all the latest gadgetry; throttle, clutch and brake is all the modes i need; i have subscribed to your channel as you have the exact same bike and you do your own maintenance too which i am a big fan of. thanks for the great content you provide.

Amazing journey, well done! A couple of years ago a friend of mine turned up at my place with 2 Chinese Motomia Enzo 150’s on a trailer, they looked like cloned Honda CG125 delivery bikes that I got my bike driving licence on in the late 70’s. The bikes had been abandoned and left out in the open in a garden Cape Town for more than 2 years. They looked in a terrible condition, both with over 10,000kms on the clock. He said to me, fix one of them up for me and you can have the other one, got all the legal paperwork for them. I was pretty doubtful of these Chinese bikes and of ever getting them going again owning a KLR650 and XR650L myself. I installed new Batteries, changed the oil, bled the front brake lines, cleaned the carbs, fixed the front disk calipers and replaced the sprockets and chains (which were dirt cheap). Got a tube of Autosol and polished all the rust off the chromed bits. A bit of a clean and polish and they look good again. Got them both going, I used one as my daily commute to work in Cape Town for 18 months, never had a days trouble with it, when the other one I fixed for my friend got stolen, I gave him my one, he rode it for almost a year before selling it.

The DR200SE, especially the face-lift model, could have benefitted substantially from more aggressive stock rubber from suzuki as well as a better aftermarket. Could have killed the 150/230 market with its street legality.

I had a xr650l back in the 90s beat it to death then sold it what a mistake, I wanted together another one but couldn’t find a good deal in my area, finally the local Honda dealership called me and said they just got a 2024 in , I went right down there and bought it I’m keeping this one forever, I got it right where I want it geared handle bars, exhaust, and rejett the carb , perfect now and loving life, I own street bikes and dirt bikes but I’m happy with my xr650l, good luck with your new bike

Hoekom verkoop jy nou

I've got the 05 GS with 6,500 miles on it. According to the BMW manual it weighs 498 lbs with accessories. If you're a gear head like me you can do your own maintenance. I do wish it had cruze control.

Stupid music

What is the top speed of this Yamaha??

Maybe take carb removal out of the title or put the carb removal in video?

Thank you.

i had two chines 200cc bikes and i never had any problems, i took one from London to Stockholm, and it just went on and on. and they cost £900.oo

Thanks for the video! It helped me so much to remove the tank! Greetings from the Netherlands! I just have a GS 1200 Adventure from 2006!

Good description of issues telling the story 😁👍

I've been driving a LJ-80. A predecessor of the Samurai. These Suzuki's are the most honest, basic universal cars bringing you from A to B. Off Road if needed. 800cc four banger engine. 39 hp. I wish I'd still have it.

Thats amaazing biking..brakes are whimps anyway.!! Ha ha..

No chance I want to sit on a Chinese bike, this guy must be joking, remember he sprays w-40 into the front disc brake. Taiwanese bikes are much safer. But I stick with the Japanese bikes for my safety. Do Not ride on Chinese bikes.

A good reason to buy a Yamaha

One thing you didn't mention is protection. I've been riding motorcycles for years and got my first scooter, an Xmax 300 last month. Many years ago I was hit by a car. It hit my kinda sideways, first hit me in the front and then smashed my ankle between the bike and car. If I had a scooter I'm pretty sure my ankle would have been fine. And if you go down and slide on a regular motorcycle, you can get serious injuries while you are somewhat protected on a scooter.

Nice video, I too have a suzuki 1990 sierra that I daily drive, owned for 15 years/300,000km, I also own a 200 series Land cruiser, prefer to drive the sierra as more fun to drive down here in Australia.
