- I put this bike on Craigslist and LetGo, and sold it within a week! I left the video up because it's a nice bike! Also this was my first video I created using multiple cameras! Much more work, but the end result is great!
Great bike I had 2 of them very dependable practically a bullet proof motor. I drove my second one from Las Vegas N.V. all the way to Bakersfield CA with no issues it's like the energizer bunny keeps going.
They fit in good with the super sport bikes as well
This was my first bike, absolutely loved it, would keep up with 1000cc bikes in the twisties.
I have the same bike in blue, with virtually the same damage it's uncanny. You did a great job making this look good, I haven't messed with mine because I don't want to mess it up worse.
It's fairly low risk to try plastic welding because you do it from the inside. At least that's the way I went about it.
Suzuki GS 500 F Super 👍👏
Had 3 gs 500 fantastic bike so reliable 👍🏻🇬🇧
Not a criticism or anything but in general it's a bit safer to stay in first and hold the clutch in rather than switch to neutral at a stoplight. Just in case you're going to get rear ended you'll have one less step to taking your escape route and might make the difference. I'm pretty sure everybody but Ducati has an oil submerged clutch so there's virtually no wear on the components like there would be in a manual car if you held the clutch in. That's what MSF courses are teaching nowadays anyways - stay safe out there!
Very cool suggestion! Never thought of that and yes, I've cringed at times wondering if that approaching car tapped me from the rear!
Nice video. Mines exact bike leaks petrol out the overflow valve at bottom of bike. Did yours have any of those issues with fuel leak?
Got the same bike it has 19,000 miles is that a lot for this bike? Do they usually last a while? My bike kinda ticks a lot when I’m at idle or slow down
I know this bike is long gone by now. But that choke should be on for a maximum of 30seconds if that carburetor is jetted properly
I start my bikes. Let idle 15 to 30seconds and that’s it on choke
First of the year (2024) I’m going to get a gs500f and make it a adventure tour bike. Taller windshield. Bar risers. Luggage on the sides and back
Those bikes are dead nuts reliable till 60 70,000 miles before they need anything major
I never want to own another carbureted bike again!
Please could you share a photo (link...) of your modified GS 500 F ?
Which tires u got?
Whats up with your front brake lever ?
Bought it like that. Thought I might make it worse attempting to bend it back so I left it. Sold it like that!
Got a web link to the led upgrades?

I have this bike and wondered if it requires removing the fairing to do an oil and filter change as it looks s bit tight 😀
I bought my oil & filter but have not done it yet. From the looks of it I'd say you do not have to remove the fairings and it doesn't seem to be that tight. In addition I'd say you won't even drop oil onto the inside of the fairings from swapping out the filter.
@@hgodtx thanks for the advise much appreciated 😄
I just did it it’s easy with it on
What helmet do you have?
Away from the house right now, I think it's Suomy.
@@hgodtx thanks

Im riding a ga500e 94. On everage i drive about 21 km on 1 liter. How about you?
I never did a mileage check. Since I did the video I purchased two more motorcycles and decided to sell this one, so I've canceled the insurance and let the registration expire. Now I just need to put it on craigslist.
I have a 95, best I can say is I spend around 6 liters for 150ish kms. 100km if doing 120kmh average and pikes at 170/180
Is it rideable as a taller driver? 195cm
I'm 185cm and it felt just right.
Thanks man!
