New GS400 owner former BMW guy.
Just bought a 1998 GS400 Black, chrome 17"s, Nakamichi. Love it. Friends with neurocity, he helped out with finding the car and even worked on it today. I don't know much about the car yet. But I'm told this is the place to learn.

Yeah yeah... be nice guys. B's a noob... I told him to never search and to ask Sakataj any question that pops into his mind.
So today we adjusted the throttle cable. Raised the idle back up to where it should be. Cleaned the intake. Doing the brakes this weekend. Plugs and seafoam the snot out of it. Not sure what else I need to do... its been awhile since I've been in a 2gen. After driving it, I forgot how solid the 2gens feel. It feels more solid than my 450h. Impressed with the Nak sound system too.
all and all... one hell of a good find.

OP if you have service records make sure ball joints have been changed as this is a necessity for our car. also since you didnt post mileage make sure all needed service is up to date
