I stand corrected. just ride it!

yes toronto is generally bad...and most of the suburbs are worse. i do feel however that just some courtesy would go a long way. like in this air horn incident, if it were i that was cut off, but the driver signaled properly and gave me a thank you wave after he cut in, i would think "well...

All new tires will have a mold release compound on them. This is a greasy film that helps the tires no stick to the mold when being made. this will make your tires very slick for the first little while, so you just want to use them in a safe area on all the surfaces to 'scrub' them before...

Wow. it is shocking that people who tend to get the horn or hand gestures often think that all these other drivers are just huge ***** always being so aggresive and honking all the time, so for their own safety and righteousness, they carry an air horn. i think we need some serious education...

super frustrating especially when you feel others are in serious danger because of terrible drivers like this. we need a way to call these drivers out without them raging out thinking that they did nothing wrong or that you are the bad guy. i hate when someone clearly cuts me off and then...

wow this story is epic. straight out of a movie/videogame. best of luck on getting your bike back! good on you for stopping to help a fellow rider, who would have known he was a total a-hat. did you get witness statements from people at the scene about what happened to you and the original...

does the bike make any sounds like... YUUUTTT UHHHGNGNGNGGGNNNN when the wheel lifts? and really, all these 'you should sit here' you should sit there comments, while valid, are hilarious. if you understand that your weight has a HUGE influence on the way the bike moves and handles, then...

at no load, with no air cooling... these guys are worse than squids. they don't deserve their machines.

like many have said, running with high beams can be very dangerous. especially at intersections. oncoming cars cannot see if you have a turn signal on because you are blinding them and they will turn away from painful lights, and you will turn thinking that you have signaled and they are being...

is it the '08s that are bleeding out? i have an 06 with about 16k on it. no problems save a couple new batteries. how much mileage do you guys put on your gs's?

how exactly is one supposed to *not* sneeze inside your helmet?? my allergies are bad, and i have sneezed in my helmet several times. thankfully only a couple times did it get...messy. not cool. most times i open my visor and shove my gloved hand over my mouth to try and cover the sneeze...

i see. seems like you got alot of work to do! good luck!

yes they will work. the reason your car firms up is because they are power assisted brakes. which means there is a pump that increases the pressure you apply with your foot to get good braking on all 4 wheels. on your bike, its just you, and hydraulics will work with the motor on or off...

interesting. you say 5000 rpm, but is that moving rpm or just revving while stopped? you can try to isolate the issue to engine or wheels/suspension by revving up the motor while moving and stopped, and then get up to speed when you feel the vibrations and ride the clutch for a while and see...

im not sure what you guys are talking about, my gs doesnt burn any oil. :P but then, ive only got like 18,000k on it. you got something like 24,000? were you noticing any gear change issues? on other suzukis ive ridden in the past, when the oil was low, the first sign i got was really tough...

im guessing if the bike were moving and there was some cooling this wouldnt happen. its just abuse. :( he should be beaten with many sticks.

thanks! I've been around gstwins.com for a while. good site, but navigation is terrible. the new battery was going to be a motomaster eliminator powersports battery. whatever size would fit in my bike! I did get a replacement battery for the GS direct from suzuki for about 75$ last time...

thanks! follow up question...again sorry if it was asked. how do i check my charging system? with the bike running, should the voltage across my battery be 14V? at idle? at 3000rpm? ...?

sorry if this is has been asked. i did a quick search and found nothing. my lead acid battery is dead. gs500. CB10L-B2. Can I get a nice new sealed battery to replace it? Is there any reason that a general use powersports battery would be bad? thanks!

if you like the riding style of the 125R, then you will also love the GS500 and 250R. these are not race bikes, so some people will think they are not good enough. thats fine, they are very very good at doing what they were built for. cheap, simple smooth riding. there is no problem with...
