I'm about 2.5-3 hours north of you, but I just picked up a GPz550 and brought it back from the dead. I'd love to see pictures of yours!

Welcome!
Sounds like a fun 1.2 miles.... thru the gears to 5th, wait 50 seconds, and back down to first. :P

I have stuck my photobucket link to this!

My 82 is stock with the exception of mirrors and rear signals and stator cover on the right side.

While hunting a favorite loop for early season gravel sweeping, I laid over at about 15mph :( pride was damaged more than the bike!:whistle:

welcome to the fray!

I hope you take a nice 10 mile detour, to make sure you warm up the engine properly! :whistle: ;)

You'll love this!:ohmy:
I do the 1st stage choke and then fire it up!
Helmet on!
I then slip to the second stage choke!
Gloves on!
Glasses on!
Now for the final choke and off I go!:laugh:

Today after that procedure, the whole bike felt wiggly?

:huh:

Flat rear tire:woohoo:

time for some new rubber. I think I'll stick with the Maxxis Super Street. When inflated it works enough to drag the center stand:P
