A bike my Dad picked up a couple months ago. It was in rough shape, but pretty much everything was there. With some elbow grease and a little money, this bike turned out great.
Brings back memories of my 1981 Suzuki gs650 gl. All I had was hand tools to work on it though and I remember the time and effort using bronze wool to clean up the chrome. Great video!
I wish my $280 Australian Dollar GS650 looked half as good as the bike as you got it. I'm yet to pull the carbs apart but I know I'm in for a chore and a half. The tank has rust on the inside and out. Hasn't ran for 5 years. My favourite bit is all the questionable bike parts that the previous owner integrated onto the bike hahah. Love the way yours turned out, hopefully mine wont be a bear to even get on the road. Cheers
haha okay then. will do. and this video was an afterthought! just decided to dig up a few clips that we both took to send to eachother while working on the bike! decided it would make a cool video ;-)
Hey I know this is an old video, but I have a question! Mine sits at about 3000rpm in neutral once it’s warmed up. Any ideas on how to make sure it doesn’t do that anymore?
Great job! I noticed you didn't have the stock nameplates on the tank and side covers. Where did you get those? Looks really nice. Newfoundland & Labrador... what a beautiful place. I haven't gone there yet but it's on my bucket list!

Thank you for:
- Your GS650 video.
- The Labrador Retrievers.
The "after" bike looked almost like new. Great restoration job on the bike........Take care, Bluefin.
Thanks Bluefin. It was a great father/ son project. I'll admit, Dad was the financial backing to the project! haha
This was my very first motorcycle, somebody had added saddlebags and a windshield, got me up and down the road quite a bit,

Hi Kyle, some years later and still looking this video. Love what you did on this bike. Do you have any one similar to this one for sale?
Nice Bike! i'd replace those bars though, get some nice stock ones
What a bike! thanks for sharing!
the thumbnail made me think this was newfoundland, watching the first minute of the video confirmed it XD
awesome job.she is like new.
Thanks Wallace! She sure is a fun little bike to ride!
I know this video is 4 years old but I may have found one in my town that’s in good shape and I think I’m gonna get it.
I need to rail it, it allows you to turn on the dash so that you can turn it on by pressing the button
Kyle, very nice job. What is the color code you used?
Where'd you get the dohc cover
What was the welded piece that was on the tank
Good job looks fun
wow loved it buddy. Great job on the video. nice bike. Cheers RH
Thanks so much RH! Do you ride?
+Weiderfan 4 wheels me only buddy. lol
haha fair enough sir!
What, 1 video for a bike restore, but 4 for an axe? Heehee, nice video, loved it. If you're dad finds a 1986 Midnight Maxim 650 let me know.
haha okay then. will do. and this video was an afterthought! just decided to dig up a few clips that we both took to send to eachother while working on the bike! decided it would make a cool video ;-)
I bought a 1982 Suzuki 650 when you try to start you hear 1 click I tried jumping it from solinoid but not even a spark battery is new
Wow. What a difference
You have your bike license Michael?
+Weiderfan no sir

Your carbs should have an idle adjustment screw that will alter that rpm!
@@kyle_noseworthy much appreciated!
Thanks for the video I’ll be trying this over the weekend
This is fucking awesome!
hey man any idea where to get a carb for this bike?
Hey Kyle, I seen this bike for sale on NLclassifieds. is it still available - looking at doing a café/scrambler project.
Hey Tanner, still available! Send me an email if interested. weiderfan.business@gmail.com
Great job! I noticed you didn't have the stock nameplates on the tank and side covers. Where did you get those? Looks really nice. Newfoundland & Labrador... what a beautiful place. I haven't gone there yet but it's on my bucket list!
Top speed what's?
Put some air in those shocks that’s dangerously low
beautiful bike, but the noise is horrible
Great job bringing it back to life!.. I have an '82 650L..very sweet ride..if you need any tech help..thegsresources dot com..
I love straight bars they look great on your bike.
Yeah man, I think its one of the best features on her. Really gives her that aggressive look! thanks for watching Mr.Cornish!
You'll say that until you crash and your thumb gets broken between the bar and the tank.
