Update! I checked the valve clearances with my feeler gauges and both the left and right exhaust valves didn't fit my feeler gauges from 0.02-0.09..however both intakes were fine (they both fit from 0.02-0.05/0.06). However when trying to remove both exhaust valve shims, I was unable to because...

Okay. I took off the valve cover and inspected the valve clearances. Both intake valves are not in spec (0.03-0.09). I did not get a chance to take out the shims and order new ones yet. Here's my question. As I was hand cranking the engine, there were times during the revolution where I felt...

I want to make a custom mount for my windscreen. I bought a buell winscreen that I want to mount on my gs500 (naked). Any help is appreciated. If you know anyone that could do it for me please let me know.

I took my bike to a shop(what is it now? 2 summers ago?) Anyways I felt that my bike was losing power on the freeway. They took the bike, and they did a few things. I asked them to cut my pipe in half due to a hole in the top half, and then they rejetted the carbs. They couldn't get the bike...

I'll find out what the damage is and post back beginning of next week. thanks for the response.

Thanks Brian for the very detailed post. I have all the tools ready and will be doing a valve adjustment this coming week. I will take pictures once the engine cover is off the bike (gs500's are easy to work on while the engine stays in the bike). I am not too sure what I should be looking at...

Ok: -Battery is 2 weeks new. -this morning i turned on the choke, gave it throttle as i attempted to start it. Tried again a few times then i could hear that the battery was dying. -i then i attempted to BUMP start it. gave it lots of speed. downshifted from 3-1, opened clutch, choke on...

My bike didnt want to kick this morning so i tried jump starting it and even that wouldn't work....Really not sure why. The bike sputtered and died on me twice yesterday with full gas in the tank.. But after draining the float bowls in my gs500 it ran just fine...I tested it for 25km after. My...

Have you found any bargain deals. Will I be looking at 130 a month???

Hi i am interested if this is still available. I know this is an old thread.

Hello, I'm looking for a spot to work on my motorcycle over the winter...Does anyone have a recommendation for a place that allows people to work on bikes..Engine will not be started. Any help is appreciated. Also I am looking for a place in the west end (etobicoke).

An update on my motorcycle..After some tests I have figured out that the right cylinder is recording a psi rating of 35....spec is 150-190!!! This should also be why the left cylinder is running lean since it is doing twice the work. I need to wait till the winter so i can open the bike up...

I will give pro6 a try as they are just a hop over the bridge for me...Any secondary opinions on the issue would help...Buying a new set of carbs is costly..I have found 1 for 200 bucks recently but i don't even know if its the carbs that's the issue. And also the bike has experienced a huge...

Ok here is the deal. I brought my carbs in and there was no damage whatsoever. The issue was that the bike was running too lean, but mainly the bike wouldn't idle. After replacing a snapped fuel mix screw which I was told was the only problem I get the bike back with nothing fixed...Well it...

I've been having an issue with my carberator and the mechanic told me that you'd need a new one. However I frequent gstwins and they are all saying that the carberators are pretty bombshell. SO that's that so I would like a few more opinions on my carberator issue. If anyone knows a great...
