As I mentioned in my intro post I am into annual winter time restorations and this year it is an 82 750 Kat. I am a big GS fan and did an 83 750 a few years back. Its my daily rider and a hell of a sturdy machine. I was looking for a GS1000 for this years project but the 750 was offered to me by a member on the GTA Motorcycle forum. Not exactly what I was looking for but close enough to the familiar GS that I figured I could pull it off.
Frame is powder coated, plastics are fair, a few parts are missing, it has a beat up but serviceable Yosh exhaust and I scored a spare engine. The installed engine was seized but I pulled the head and freed everything up. The plan was to get it running, tart it up and pass it on. Trouble is I've been reading the posts in this section and the plan might change....it may be a keeper and I might need to put more of an effort in to sorting it out.
While the bike is very close to the GS in parts and such there are some things I don't follow ( like the choke mechanism) and I would like to find a manual. Does anyone have a spare or one they want to get rid of or failing that could anyone copy a few things for me like the wiring diagram and details on the setup of the choke gizmo?
This is the roller as I got her a few weekends back:
I appreciate all the help and information offered.
Cheers all,
