Great description, thanks. I have a hoist I can support the front with, also have a motorcycle jack so I should be good there. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using GTAMotorcycle.com mobile app

It would seem it's not low on oil then because it seems to travel smoothly, I am used to riding in dirt, i realize that off road bikes tend to be stiffer but on the GS i find it dives too much when braking hard or with a passenger. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using GTAMotorcycle.com mobile app

Thanks for the input guys. My intent is to stiffen the front springs. They are a bit squishy for my liking. Not sure if the springs are worn or maybe just low on oil, or maybe just worn oil. I bought the bike used and have no idea if the fork oil has ever been changed. My goal is to change the...

wondering if anyone has replaced the fork springs in a GS500F looking for tips, suggestions on springs and where to get them

Plan is to replace them. hasn't been on the road since 09. I don't trust them. They look ok but not going to chance it. ?

No. I traded a 71 Pontiac lemans for a 94 GSXR1100, Bought a 09 GS500F at a dealership as-is for $1000. The GSX1100G was the only free one lol. but the GS was a sweet deal too.

Thanks, I'm sure the next guy that drove by would have snagged it. I had to have a "Share Holders" meeting when I got home. its the third bike in less than a month I've brought home lol. :ROFLMAO:

Definitely will keep it mild and will keep everything to return it to stock if desired. The highway pegs, backrest and windshield are factory addons, so I will keep those as well. I'm actually looking for a donner fender to cut and keep the stock one also.

I'm thinking.. drop the bars, cut the rear fender off and change signals all the way around. :unsure:

It had a windshield, rear backrest and highway pegs that came off minutes after unloading it :ROFLMAO:

when I picked up the bike he did not have the ownership but assured me he would find it, he messaged me before I got home with it and said he found it and I could stop and pick it up anytime.

The guy was pushing it to the end of his driveway with a free sign on it. needs fork seal and a tail light. I haven't had it running yet but assume it will need the cards cleaned.

Got this for free on the weekend hasn't been running since 09.

He loves the bike, it is one of many dropped and stretched bikes he has built. I've been around custom cars and bikes my whole life, I grew up in a body shop and this guy ranks up there with some of the best I've seen. The look of this bike may not be for everyone but what matters is that he...

I wouldn't argue that, however if you know the guy you are aware that he builds for himself not for re-sale. I have different artistic vision but can't dispute or deny his talent.

Yes you are correct

His wife rides it and says it handles rather well. :unsure:

Its not my kinda ride either but it this guy does incredible work and has a collection that would make any Suzuki enthusiast drool.

It doesn't have a "Swing arm" its rigid ?
