I've rebuilt the carbs on a GS650L, also a 4 cylinder. The diaphragms/boots under the top caps were hard to figure out as a problem. Hold em up to the light and if you see holes the cheap temporary fix is to apply a thin layer of finger nail polish to fill the holes. Not too much to make em brittle.

[@MrJet30]

I had about half of that list in my head, but the kerker 4 into 1 i have never heard that on a Suzuki, i use to have a KZ-750 kawasaki with a kerker and loved the sound, always wondered what it would sound like on another bike brand.

[@thehunt3744]

[@grahamsenini8024]

That's if they were going to do a proper resto. They way they 'secured' the bike on the back of the tow truck resting on the front guard suggests to me that this'll be a hack job.

After a long ride i went to gas up my 1982 Suzuki 1100gsgl from the right side of the bike and as i leaned in to insert the nozel i didnt notice that my leg leveraged up next to the exhaust pipe and when i pulled my leg back my leg skin stuck like cheese. Watch those pipes while gasing. I could set the cruise control at 90 and kick back on the seat like a recliner with my feet kicked up on the tank. They are highly enjoyable to ride very stable at speed.

i had a 83 GS450T that i made into a care racer and a 82 GS1100 that was also somewhat of a cafe completely built the 450 had it down to the frame.

Replace both tires. Old tires are slick. Also, go through the brakes before you ride it. Odds are the pistons are seized in the calipers. You can soak in penetrating lubricant, then force it out with shop air (just aim it into a box with towels they can come out with some force.). Put some new seals in the calipers and you should be nearly there. Old Japanese bikes are reliable and easy to work on. No surprise that it fired right up! Also, get a JIS screwdriver. Those Phillips heads aren’t Phillips heads. You will strip them out. Vessel makes good ones. It will become your favorite screwdriver! My channel is nothing but Motorcycle content.

Cleet you’re such a genuine and honest guy. Caring about your fans more than your own money shows a lot and it’s awesome to see you’re going above and beyond to try and make people happy and enjoy what they have. You could have easily just taken a loss on the giveaway and waited till the next one but instead you gave people what they wanted instead of just saying screw it it is what it is.

[@James-vn8zb]

You're contradicting yourself. You said he cares more about the fans than his own money, and then followed it up by saying he could've just taken a loss, which implies he's ensuring that he makes money. I'm not saying he doesn't care about his fans, bc obviously he does, but these giveaways are to make money. There are people who buy merch who normally wouldn't bc they're hoping to win the giveaway and people who buy more merch to get more entries. Losing a portion of those people bc they're not interested in the prize could have a huge effect on the entire merchandise giveaway process. He made it clear when talking from a marketing perspective about the funnel that this was a financially motivated decision.

[@ThatGuy-nv7cx]

@@James-vn8zbit makes more sense for a fans> money perspective when you look at other giveaways done by KZbinrs. He could’ve given away the barely running Chrysler 300 and his giveaway would’ve generated roughly the same revenue. There’s obviously going to be a little more excitement around a more expensive truck, and while it will generate more revenue, it wouldn’t be proportional to what he spent. Obviously giveaways are meant to make money, but there’s a difference between milking your fans for every penny they have for an item that isn’t really worth it, and genuinely trying to give your fans something cool and worthwhile. Edit: for those who don’t believe people will spend insane amount of money for something unique associated with a KZbinr, WD sold Ferrari pieces for a total of almost $170k. People have also sold dirt. Keep that in mind.

[@wobblepopgaming]

4 door for sure. Stub doesn't look right. It makes a short bus look intelligent.

[@James-vn8zb]

@ThatGuy-nv7cx I'm well aware. WD sells shredded pieces of everything. Cleetus sold grass. However, that's a little bit different. They sell it as limited supply and it's still a money grab, but it's not a $5 shirt for $35, or a $200 Lego leroy. Next time, look at when Cleetus holds a shirt up during a merch plug and there's light behind it. You can see it's thin material for the most part. He knows that he sells way more merch by giving away a high-end item as opposed to a 2006 Kia. It's like the lottery. Sales are much higher when you can win a billion dollars. After someone wins the billion, sales are way down when it's "only" 90 million. It's the same tactic. You have to keep in mind that his profit margins on merch must be large enough to pay for the prize and make enough money for the giveaway to be worthwhile. He could easily sell the shirts for $15 or maybe less and not have a giveaway. So people are getting scammed to a certain extent. They're paying a lot of extra money for a slim to none chance at winning the prize. However, if that's what they're willing to do, whether it's to win the prize or just to support Cleet, that's up to them. It's just that I have seen people say they're broke, but they're going to spend what they have in hopes of winning, which is sad. I actually saw a person say that were spending everything bc they thought winning was their last chance before giving up on life. Sorry for the long-winded response. I just wanted to be as clear as possible.

[@ThatGuy-nv7cx]

@@James-vn8zb your lottery analogy makes sense when the prize is only about the money, but it’s not the same when KZbinrs give away items that hold special value or memories. For example, demolition ranch has given away many cheap cars in the past, but since they were in a lot of videos or held sentimental value to the channel, people went wild. Keep in mind that the profit margins from the merch specifically do not have to cover the costs of the giveaway. 150k+ *profit* is a lot to make on merch in such a short time. He can still do the giveaway at a loss and still come out ahead due to how many videos he makes on the truck. The real money isn’t what he’s profiting from the merch, it’s the extra videos and eyes on the channel that’s driving the long term profit.

Cleet always goes above and beyond. aside from the epic content, this is why i love this channel. keep it up guys...... also would be a very hard choice to choose between the 2 for me. 2 door looks so fun.

[@mikeeast6378]

Hey Cleet that vinyl behind the door made it look better for sure!! I liked it from the start anyways. I'm definitely gunna take the 2 door if I win!!!

[@xjhickman]

That little black on the cab made a big difference. Then seeing that 2 door next to the 4 door made the 2 door look so much more bad ass.

[@450fishing]

Personally, I like the 2 door TRX wayyyy more than the 4 door. The entire point of these giveaways is to give away one-of-a-kind, unique vehicles. And absolutely nothing about a boring, regular traffic, 4 door TRX screams unique. I really don't think the haters understand just how much more fun a high HP, short wheelbase offroad beast truly is

[@wahidtrynaheghugh260]

I’m sure the performance is great but I don’t want my car to look bad unless I’m in a silly mood.

@@wahidtrynaheghugh260you only see your car when you walk up to it. not driving. if its fun to drive IDGAF what it looks like. Other people have to look at that monstrosity while im driving it 🤣

[@Marvie15]

I'm with you 100% on this!!

[@jbeasy5620]

This just proves how many guys prefer to have pavement princess trucks instead of cool off roaders. Also, this is going to make Cleet less willing to do cool and unique giveaway vehicles in the future. I'm really disapointed in this fan base.

Brother there’s already a concrete pad on the back of the track that you could build some framing to hold the plane in the air for an epic view and rent it out as a box office!!!! That sheet would look so freakin cool to see helt up in the air at the freedom factory!

Almost finished restoring a 1981 Gs850 G. The little brother to this bike. Looks identical

[@mountainskys]

I rebuilt a 1979 Suzuki GS1000 some years ago. It was a blast to ride. It has about 90 HP. It is NOT for an inexperienced rider. That being said, HELL YEAH BROTHER!! About that L model - In 1979 Suzuki introduced even a custom version of the GS1000E called GS1000L. It had same mechanics as the GS1000G but had high handlebars, stepped seat, leading axle front fork, smaller fuel tank (15 l/ 4.0 US gal) and short cut silencers. 19-inch wheels. The GS1000L was manufactured during 1979 and 1981. 1979 Suzuki GS 1000 L Overall Length: 2340 mm (92.1 in) Overall Width: 755 mm (29.7 in) Overall Height: 1145 mm (45.1 in) Seat Height: 825 mm (32.5 in) Wheelbase: 1525 mm (60.0 in) Ground Clearance: 155 mm (6.1 in) Dry Weight: 240 kg (529 lbs) Engine: Air-cooled 997 cc inline-4, DOHC, 8 valves. 90 ps (66 kW) @ 8 500 rpm, 8.0 kg-m @ 7 500 rpm Top Speed: 215 KMH (134 MPH) Good luck. That old bike is very fast. NEW TIRES ARE A MUST!

[@user-qz4he6qv5w]

I am also a motorcycle mechanic. The way that they treated this poor bike. Almost everything that they did was wrong. That’s not how you try to restore a vintage motorcycle. The last thing that they should’ve done was try to get it running before a long list of things that need to be gone through. I can’t believe they towed it on a tow truck stinger. Super dangerous.
