My,pops road one for years,luv that bike!!!❤😮😊.

I want it if you have it still

1976. I bought a brand new GS 550 in Great Falls Montana. I recognize that sound anywhere 1976 was the first year of the series. They also introduced the GS 750 that had five speeds but GS 550 had six I was never that crazy about fifth and six gear. The difference between them. But it does allow you to get up to 140 miles an hour because I did it that next day I'm Great Falls all the way up to glacier national Park lickety flick I was there. 55 minutes from Great Falls.

What a hell of a video. Thank you so much!

I had a silver GPZ 550 ZX in Australia. It was the same bike you have but mine had full fairing. i loved it as my daily transport to Sydney Airport from Parramatta in 1987-88 It had a death wobble at 180KPH, but if you powered on 215k down hill was my fastest

i bought one like this exactly in 1985 for $500 used it for 3 years and in 1988 sold it for $300

550 was the best and most popular GPZ as it actually cornered well.

So what did it sell for?

Thank you so much for making this video!! This bike (CB360) is my first. I'm cleaning the carbs and all the other guides I could find the carbs just aren't quite like this or the instructions aren't quite as detailed. You likely saved me having to do this twice! Super appreciate the work dude! P.S. r/fixxit is awesome too!

Thanks for the video. I have the same model and learnt a lot about the engine number against your useful model table.

I bought the purple one ( zx 6 e ) in may or june of 94 and totalled it in less than 4 weeks and went ahead and bought the green one about 2 months later as soon as I was able to get back to normal. Guess what? I chrushed that one as well but doing only 65 mph this time and the bike didn't roll and tumble only slid on its left side. Well, I ended up riding it till about 2008 and loved every moment of it. What a beautiful and friendly bike it was!! I am 63 now and wish I still had it🫤

Howdy! Is that the original cluster display? Or is it from a more modern bike? I have a 2001 yzf600 that I’m currently street fighting & I want a digital display like that

I have one, and i love it !

Looks like a 72 Mel.

I had a GPZ550H2 back in '84. Scared the heebie geebies out of me but what a bike! Still miss it today.

I'm going to cut my plastic seal setter longer than the as to use a dead blow hammer to give it love taps.

I'm having an issue where no pressure is built after changing the oil. I only have pressure when the rod is all the way down. Any suggestions?

Lovely,brings back great memories of the bygone era of my youth.I had one in Germany around 84 (goddamn 40 years!)and it had only 15 ponies but it was nippy enough for a first bike.And the sound...I fell in love with it when I first started it -It was sold then!and it was so different from the CB400 I was used to for my driving lessons.A friend had a GT 125 and it was a sweet mashine.They sounded a lot bigger than what they were.

My first real streetbike was a 1984 GPZ-750

I just bought an 83. Bout to make it run

it is important to let the 450 engine idle for approximately 60-120 seconds prior to revving, or else you could do damage to the top end. it takes that amount of time for the oil to travel to the top end. it says so in the honda manual

Brings me back to my youth. Rode one to school almost everyday! Would buy in a heartbeat to relive those days but money not in the cards right now. It won't last long there are many like me out there.

I had the cl-100. 1973. $ 495 dollars tax title out the door.... Norton Atlas 750. Used $250. Honda cl450. $300 2006 Kawasaki GZ 1000. $1700. Best damn bike and bang for the buck in 50 years.....

how much?

I have one with only 8000 original miles :)

Did you ever finish working on this bike? I haven’t seen any updated videos on it

didn't show the diagnosis to my problem... my 77 GS550 has a hole in the middle of the diaphragm. I need to know if this whole corresponds with the air inlet on the back of the petcock. or if it should straddle in some way?

I had one and it sounded awesome full throttle.

Thanks

Had this one, 30 years ago! Right after my "English period" (Triumph and Norton)! For me! First "Japanese" bike that actually rode and "handled" like the "Big Ones"! Fantastic bike!

Fantastic video!! 🎉

Lov the bike..parts r hell 2 find

I had an '83.. what a sure footed bike it was.. could crank it over on some pretty harsh roads and still feel like you're on a rail.

067 is in my garage. Has anyone ever seen a number over 88? Rumored there aren't any.

Wow.really like the detail!!

Got a 73 front drum brake 1st model. Ironically number 10185. Frame and motor. Numbers started at 10001. Hopefully on road tomorrow.

Sounds awesome

I bought one new in 1985, a leftover. Excellent bike. Good looking, fast, dead reliable. I put 35k on it. Jet kit, Kerker 4-1 and it sounded perfect and ran even better. My favorite motorcycle I ever had.

I bought a new 1967 CL160 at Klein-Dickert Honda in Madison, Wisconsin. There never was a kit to convert a CB160 to a CL160. You don't know what you're talking about clueless!

I'm checking out a 79 cb650 tomorrow

Does anyone know where I can get a gasket that goes between the black plates of that diaphragm? I’m taking about the whitish looking square gasket. All these rebuild kits only come with the diaphragm, not the gasket, and the gasket I have is currently the issue because it’s worn out and has a hole where fuels clearly squirting out of!

The Walter Brennan style( The Elderly Man look)....His name is Amos.

I have one...in Croatia...black...good bike

Oh man i own its twin 3000 miles i love it

The video didn't show how to do the rebuild. Just showed the parts.

I just bought one of these myself to sell except mines an 83 450 ga

Loosen the top nut and damper bolt whilst they are still on the bike and DONT use a gun for the top nut 😂

So is this really a street legal BUILT HONDA CR500. Do you think they have a slip on canister pipe that would lower the decibels. If you guys are really selling it, how much are you asking for it.

I have the same style petcock as in 6:47, without vacuum operation. The problem I have is that it will pass gas to the carb directly as I pour it into the tank even with the petcock set in off position. I took it apart and checked it, even made a new gasket out of cork but it still will just flow gas through it as before. What could be the cause of this? I noticed that in the bowl underneath where the net is there is a small gap between the net and the middle pole, could this be the cause of the problem? Just to clearify, I've only checked this with the bike not running, don't want to try and start it when it seems that the carb is getting flooded. I never put in much fuel, just a little so I could empty it easily. Any ideas on what to check or do? I want to get a new petcock but it's hard when I ain't sure of the exact size and no shops nearby that sell bike parts. You mentioned that if the float or needle in carb is failing this could happen, but does that happen even when the petcock is in off position? It seems my petcock isn't serving any purpouse at all since the gas just passes straight through it.
