Good luck! I have been riding for over 25 years and just under 100000 miles.
So far the Rubber has stayed on the pavement.

The GS650 is such a simple to work on Bike.

In fact as a goof in the Fall a few guys at work comb E-bay for people selling the Likes of Suzuki and Kawi 650's that people never rode much and don't want to store. Many have been sitting for years and don't run.

In about 2 hours we pull and clean the cabs, Shine them up and in the Spring we resell a 'running' bike. Sometimes we make a few bucks on the resale sometimes we do better. It's quick , easy rewarding fun and it makes us feel good to breath life into an older bike that was mothballed for a long time. They are great 'Learner' bikes. Not too heavy and just spunkie enough.

Good Luck, Watch every intersection for people that don't see you. Watch their tires for rotation as they are supposed to be waiting for you to pass them. over your brake as you pass and you will keep out of trouble. DEFENSE!
