Might be late to the party, but I found this site. I think it's a list of calipers you can use: https://rbitter.home.xs4all.nl/GS1000_front-brake-upgrade.html

Hi Welcome! I currently have Bridgestone Battlax Adventure A4 on my GS1000. It was an improvement for me, specially on wet termac / rainy days

Marvin does it. And also https://delkevic.co.uk

Hello, and welcome IMO get a new stator and regulator. Old wires and electronics in harsh environment are ready for a swap. If not you might get the domino effect: change one thing, than this affect the next thing after a short period of time. At least check all connections, and treat with anti corrosive, and electrical grease after cleaning. New rr is not that expensive (avoid cheap stuff). A lot of good information in this forum for upgrades. Ricksmotorsportelectronics in the US have a few options for upgrades. Wemoto.com in the UK is also recommended, cheaper than ricks. Looking forward for updates Cheers

Welcome Looking forward to another GS1000 project

I'm currently using a Dyna S ignition system. The old system was function perfect, but I'm using my bike for commuting, and I really need it to work. So I made a new wiring harness, and swapped all electrical components. I cannot tell the difference, other than my bike starts easier. It kicks right at it with refurbished starter motor, new relay and ignition system. Easy to install. I've heard that the quality is poor. It might be. Haven't had it not than one summer

That's the good stuff! Nice bike

I've been wondering the same myself for a gs1000. In the end sound of Marving is not my ideal sound. That's only my opinion after checking out some sound samples on YouTube. It was too baaafhh I prefer Delkevic, VH etc. Got an old Marshall system on her now. Sounds deep and neat. Staying on for now

Finn is the place in Norway

Hi Tommy Lots of people here from Sweden. Like @Askamaskinservice for once. There's also a lot of used parts in Norway at finn.no I prefere Wemoto.com for service parts. Fleabay is frequently used as well. Use jet carrier.com for transport from us to Nordic countries.

Welcome to OSS. I believe you be happy with both. YSS are progressive? I got Wirth progressive springs. A bit more expensive than YSS

Very nice! Welcome!

Welcome! As Dezza says, look for corrosion. Revving = vibrations. Bad/loose connection can show.Try electronic cleaning connection blocks and then use battery pole grease

Parts Select model https://www.cmsnl.com/suzuki-gs450_model13427/ Boots under head https://www.cmsnl.com/suzuki-gs450e-1983-d-usa-e03_model16014/partslist/BLCK0013.html#.YmAqO_c8zDs

Sparks getting wet with only light cranking if it gets sufficiently fuel. Looks like a fuel problem, which is good, a lot better than ignition. In addition I would consider new intake boots.
