You're right, it isn't. A coworker found this gem on craigslist. Its a 1982 Suzuki GS1100GL - yup 1100cc. Not running of course, the wire harness was torn apart and abused becuase it used to have a front cruiser fairing on it. The previous owner didn't know how to fix it, so needless to say, I practically stole this bike, and now am going to get her running ASAP. Here's the plan:
1. Find used wire harness on ebay for cheap - done, $38
2. Previous owner said coils are bad because he isn't getting spark - coils tested fine with an ohm meter, the ignition module was also wired wrong (surprise)
3. A quick run through of the carbs with some carb cleaner and a pipe cleaner
4. Clean out the gas tank, it looks like its had no gas in it for a while and its kinda nasty in there
5. Will need at least a front tire when its running, might as well get both
6. Bleed/flush the brake lines, the rear caliper is missing the bleed screw (durrr)
Once all that is done, I plan to put some miles on it while I get the Honda going. Excited that I will have something rolling in a few weeks before its cold again.
