i love this! a friend of mine has a GS500 aswell, and i begged him to repair it for him! and he let me do so, now this is definitely give me a headstart! thank you!
Well I don't know how well your bill didn't coming along but I have gotten stuck on the carburetors so I'm going to cave and take it down to a motorcycle shop and just have them put them on for me so I can't get them working properly
I have gs500e but the rear brake pads set is not complete. I mean when I pulled the brake pads out there was no backplate attached with them and also there was no clip on top of them.
I suppose you could manage without a back plate. Not recommended.. but if there's no clip, the pads will wear down very quickly... I'm trying to find a new caliper that is more common in my local market. Something I can mount without any modifications
Do you know where I could get the head gaskets for this motor that is the only thing that is holding me up I can't find them the only place I have found them is eBay and I don't want to wait 2 months to get them if you have anywhere better I'd greatly appreciate a point in the right direction
Hey , I'm so sorry for such a late response. Did you end up finding something reliable? I prefer getting them made from a service here. I wouldn't know anything about the online shopping situation for that. 🤔 If you've found something, do tell me. 😬
@@projectmak1750 this weekend I should be putting the bike back together might have a small startup video see how well the overlapping works on the valves
@@projectmak1750 well I finally started putting mine back together I got it fired up today I still have issues with the carburetors I'm going to try and rebuild them again but once that's taken care of I should have a running bike how's yours coming along sorry I had to get a new phone different UA-cam account
@@projectmak1750 I tried to take mine to a shop to install the carbs but they turned me down I ended up just doing it myself I'm riding it to and from work now I only have $160 into it but it's gonna go up tries are on the way along with rebuild kits for the front and rear brakes and a kit for the forks
@@projectmak1750 that's awesome I'm starting my teardown this Sunday it's the only thing I asked my wife I could have for my birthday is a day to just start working on the bikes
That’s an epic teardown. Can’t wait to see the full rebuild process.

Have you gotten the bike back together
Been a bit busy trying to get a new workshop setup.. half way done. Just left with assembling the engine. Might go for a complete swap.

Happy birthday.. enjoy the teardown..😏
Btw. Are you going to be posting the progress somewhere?
@@projectmak1750 I'm gonna try at the bare minimum I'll have pictures I'll try and do videos
Best part of the video starts at 14:45 👍
😅😏
Can't stop laughing...
@@fasihnator yeah.. good times..😅
Just make it with no music! The video it's interesting but this awful music makes it a terrible experience
Yeah.. I figured I should avoid music as much as I can..
The final build video will be better..😊
@@projectmak1750 keep going, that's a nice project (I have the same bike )
