- 1977 GL1000
Bought a 1977 GL1000 with 57,000 miles. Put on a new timing belt, tires, exhaust, and ready to ride. Two questions -- 1) The bikes stalls or stumbles at low rpm, runs great above 3,000rpm. Weber replacement carb, or knock-off version of same. Should I look at the idle circuit? Other things to check? 2) I bought crash bars, one mounting point for which is the engine mount bolt at front. If I take the bolt out, how hard is it to put it back in? I'm afraid the motor will drop and I won't be able to line things up. Got one ride in already, great bike (though the stalling issue is worrisome).
