2001 Suzuki GS500 For Sale, as is for $800 Excellent starter bike for sale, to get going on your motorcycling adventures!! Bike is currently not running. One of the bolts for the oil filter cover has snapped. I haven't had time to fix this, but it's a relatively simple fix. There's a...

Like everyone else was mentioning, the course was fantastic, very helpful instructors. One of their suggestions, to prep for the rain was to put those plastic grocery bags around your feet, then put your boots on (if they're not waterproof) The bags would at least keep some of the water off...

I sort of had a similar plan when I started late last summer. Didn't brake A, broke B the first afternoon I rode, broke C a few weeks after that, didn't break D yet. That's mostly because of the g/f.

Really didn't think this would go where it did, lol I've explained 2-up riding to them, and how tricky it'd be. I'm pretty sure they'll get a decent amount of riding time before they get into the 2-up riding

So I picked up a GS500 last summer as my first bike and have been having a blast. I guess they're seeing how much fun it is and want dive in to riding too. We swing by Kahuna today and they were looking at a few bikes they thought looked good. They're leaning towards doing a lot of 2-up...

Welcome!! I'm in the Bridge too, just started this season too. Have a blue GS500, maybe we'll pass each other some time!

They typically have an 'off-cut' pile. A lot of scrap pieces to dig through. That's what I typically get when I go there. Mostly stuff in sheets, but I also remember bags of random sized material (thicker blocks of UHMW and acrylic)

GP Bikes is a great place! Was just there a few weeks ago, they had all gloves at 30% off, I think. They also had a clearance section too, I think. Staff is pretty knowledgeable too.

It's safetied, licensed, insured and I'm ready to go!!!

Wow!! I had no idea the fine was that huge! Thanks for the info. I'm in Montreal, bike's in TO for the rest of the week, so that'll hold off the temptation. Getting safety and plates this weekend when I'm back, then I should hopefully be good to go.

By rough idle I meant you can hear the valves chattering, bike has 45k kms, valve adjustment had never been done

Just picked it up this morning. It's an 03 GS500. It idles a little rough, but it's nothing a valve job won't fix. I have all my gear and I'm pretty much ready to go. Just have to safety it and away I go!! But it's sooooo tempting just having it sit there without being able to ride. I go...

Wow, thanks for the great info! That doesn't seem hard at all!! Thanks!

Did you just take the headlight out of the fairing portion that holds it? And does that mount straight to the brackets that you got?

From some of the pictures, it looks like the headlight is built in to the top fairing. Are you planning on getting a new headlight bucket or just keep the top fairing?

Can the fairing be removed on a GS500F to make it look like the unfaired version (I think that's the GS500E?) The GSTwin website is down right now, so can't really sniff around on there for answers. I'm assuming the lights and mirrors could just be re-located to the frame and front forks?

I wasn't sure if the preload or rebound were adjusted all the way down or up (for a softer or stiffer ride), I had forgot to ask if the preload and rebound had been adjusted or not. But the shocks were stock and nothing had been done to them. I don't mind wrenching on something, I do enough...

Hey Guys, First post here, been looking around and have seen a lot of great info. Have a few questions regarding a first bike and what might work out better; Option 1: -'91 Kawasaki ZR550, with 44k kms for $1400 (checked it out, runs great) -Will need new rear tire for safety, but that should...
