I guess it depends. I don't have a problem listing 'for sales' for 'list' members, or folks who taken some effort to contact someone on the list, to post it. If however, we post anything on the website that is just 'found', we are helping, (or maybe NOT, helping), someone who doesn't even know what we are doing. And we have no way to find out if its been sold. Or is available. So...my thought would be no. On the other hand, if you would like to be the 'list generator' of "Bikes I've found in the world for sale" poster, you have my vote! ;^) Brandon PS-However, if you have links to sites that routinely sell GTS motorcycles, I could those under the 'links' section of the website.
RE: Bike for sale
Great ideas Brandonwe'll drop the "A" in your title and make you a Smart 1 hehehehe I'll grap links as I find them (for the key search engines that is...not the individual adds...you might also want to contact these engine webmasters and see if there's a fee for referals...might offset the posting charges, your time, etc. As a start you can put a link for Ebay Motors Traderonline.com http://pages.ebay.com/ebaymotors/browse/Motorcycles.html http://www.traderonline.com/cycle/index.shtml
RE: Loose bolt or screw??
Yeah sure Bryan...blame it on the wife...you'll be signing up to get a copy of my upcoming book..."View From the Dog House"! The screw holds the shift lever on the lower left side of the bike...aluminum and a hex screwplus the large nut that holds on the front sprocket...under the left gray cover, and behind the chain plate (about 7 bolts if I recallchances are if you haven't replaced the chain, it's ok SP
Re: Loose bolt or screw??
I just came in from the garage. I replaced the chain and sprockets on the GTS. One of our Ironbutters mentioned this already but I cannot emphasize enough the importance of checking the torque on your countershaft sprocket nut. These are not torqued down tightly from the factory and WILL work loose. The only reason they haven't started falling off in bunches is because there is a foldover locking washer behind the nut that does it's job. Remove the left side lower cowel and find the clutch slave cylinder (you'll see the hydraulic line running to it). Remove the 3 bolts holding it on, remembering that the long one goes in the top. Remove the bolt holding the shifter to the shift shaft and slide the shifter off. Now remove the bolts that hold the magnesium cover over the countershaft sprocket. Using a hammer and a screwdriver (I know you're not suppose to do this to a screwdriver) pry back the lock washer from the nut. This is a 32mm nut so you might need to run down to Sears or flag down a SnapOn truck to retreive a socket. Put the bike in neutral and slide a broom stick through the rear wheel just below the swingarm. Now rotate the wheel so the broomstick snugs up against the swingarm. (There's really no need to stand on the rear brake!). NOW TORQUE DOWN THAT NUT to 50 ft/lb or 70 NM!!! Using the screwdriver and hammer bend the locking washer back over the nut on TWO sides for greater insurance. I know you're not suppose to reuse the lock washer but YES, the old one works fine, no problem. Reassemble and your good to go! We should probably put maintenance tips like this on the gts1000.org site!

Earlier an email was sent referring to a bolt or screw that seems to be loose or not seated from the factory. My wife deleted all of my saved messages and I was going to check my bike. Can someone please resend the message. Thanks, Bryan Burkingstock [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Air Filters
I'm looking for a part number for the air filters on the GTS. My local dear is asking $34.00 for each cartridge. These guys have always treated me well, but that price seems a bit high to me. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for everyone's help! Dave, 93 GTS Fresno CA.

I just paid $57 for a pair but I'm sure better deals can be had on-line... Kev --- Dave Morrow [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm looking for a part number for the air filters on the GTS.
