Just found this series on an 850. I too am restoring an 81 GS850 and will learn from you.

mine sat for 30 years. Just cleaned the carbs, Removed the rust from inside the tank, and painted the frame..... I hope it runs lol

[@MrFixit1]

I have faith that it will.

Wow... people said I have my work cut out for me. You had my jaw dropped the whole video. My engine (and cosmetics) are in better shape, since mine was in a garage for 17 years. But the fuel wasn't drained so my carbs were in way worse shape. Just gotta say, good luck

I'm excited to get back to work on this bike. Not sure if it will run or not. I think it will but how well is the real question.

@@MrFixit1 from everything I've been seeing, if you can get it running that should do a lot to free up the rest

I’m currently building a gs850 and got the bike with no wiring at all do you have any suggestion on how to wire this bike from scratch?

[@MrFixit1]

Get a good wire diagram is the best advice I can give. The most complicated thing is the turn signal wiring. everything else is pretty straight forward. The 3 yellow wires from the stater go to the three wires going to the regulator/rectifier doesn't matter which yellow goes to which sometimes they are black. The B+ to the starter solenoid, and a ground, also the neutral light and oil light will be coming out with the stator wires. The CDI gets the two pulse coil wires going in, along with a B+ and a ground and two wires out to the coils. If you get confused just study the diagram. The B+ wire coming out of the starter relay goes to the main fuse then to the key and then back to the fuse block.
