Bikeshed cafe racer trackday onboard my GS500 fast group, had a broken hand from a crash the weekend before so could not ride as well as i would have liked
Sad to see it die. Brilliant riding. all the bigger bikes are only able to catch you on the straight. How many mile did it do before it went pop? also, what gearing did you run, what oil did you use, have you made any mods in terms of hp increase? i'd love to know. I'm a big fan of gs 500. my first one lasted over 130k miles, commuting, always on the cheapest tesco's or asda's 10w40. Mine came to a gentle farting end, so engine might still be ok. fingers crossed. My second one is nearing 70k miles. long live gs500
Noooo!, you must re-build her!! That little GS is a legend...lol :) ps. Knowing absolutely nothing about your bike, I'm going to guess it was a cam-chain tensioner failure...

Ridiculously quick on the GS, even with a broken hand

When a tentioner has been a tentioner too long.
@Lakuppiipu do you have a video explaining what mods have you made to your GS500, like suspension, tires, engine, im impressed how you take the curves
So awesome
Do you upload your photos anywhere? Your thumbnail photos are great.
Great skills, yeah save up and grab another... what are they over there about 50 quid?
Legendary skills mate.
Looks like loads of fun, won't needs ritalin doing this!
Hope you said a few words for the noble steed. "See you in the great bike track in the sky" sort of thing?
@Lakuppiipu Wich one handle better GS500 VS SV650?
Would it be worth rebuilding?? Or are engine cheaper to buy secondhand?
Gs500 is dead, long live gs500
RIP.........
☠
Lets be honest, it was only a matter of time. Still, an honourable death.
