What basic maintenance should you do on a 1982 Suzuki GS650?

Answer 1

Lube all cables, change all case fluids, adjust/ bleed brakes (change fluid if applicable), inspect overall condition and tires, inspect/adjust chain tension, check lights, adjust carb(s), change all filters (istall in-line fuel filter if possible), change plug(s), refill with mid-grade fuel. That should get you through maintenance, and should be done periodically, with light checks and services throughout the riding season. Same as above but also oil chain.
