Hello I picked up a 1978 GL1000 about a week ago and am working on getting it running well. So far I have changed the timing belts, spark plugs, oil, and coolant. Going to check timing and vacuum leaks here soon because the bike isn't quite running right. It runs better with the choke on, even when warm, then off. I can't give it quick throttle or it stumbles and almost dies, I have to slowly roll it on, but when I do roll it on it picks up and goes. Big girl can run.
My biggest problem is it does pop out of first gear. I have read i will have to replace tranny parts but if there is another possible solution I am all ears. I just cleared my phone of all pics so I will post some tomorrow.
