@waitin4Boost yeah But I'm glad they're that big cause otherwise I would've lost them the day I took them out... In the Centennial College class I took, we looked at "under-bucket" valve shims and those don't look fun at all. @Twisted no worries, thanks for taking the time to check. I have a...

@TwistedKestrel, In the event that you do end up finding some, and it's my only option, I might be able to swing by after I drop my kiddo home. Meaning that I wouldn't be able to really get to your place til REALLY late (maybe in the middle-of-the-night late). If you're okay with leaving them in...

@JavaFan They go above the tappets (valve buckets). The exhaust valve clearance needs to be adjusted. @Twisted Kestrel Oh, awesome, let me know if you find anything and PM me if you do, please and thanks!

Hey all, I'm looking to get my bike (99 GS500) back up and running by this weekend after a few months of out of commission. I ordered new valve shims from Snow City Wednesday but I've been told they're not available til Monday for pickup. Wondering if anyone has any shims of that size (2.60mm...

Hey all, I'm looking for a standard OEM rear shock from a 1982-2002 Katana 600. Anyone have one in decent shape for sale? Thanks.

Dropped bike on Sherbourne at Dundas intersection this morning Around 9:20 or so this morning, we were driving by Sherbourne on Dundas, and my fiancée saw your bike down at the red light. You were still standing and we couldn’t stop to help. You somehow dropped your bike. Not quite sure what...

I have two sets of front fender and side covers for a Suzuki GS500E. $60 for one set ($20 a piece), or $100 for both. The black and yellow came off my '99. There are some scuffs and minor scratches on the side covers, and a missing corner in the rear side of the front fender. The black and...

Last fall, I took my girlfriend to practice on my bike at the L&L Shoppers parking lot (there's a second parking lot on the East side away from the main lot). There were no cars but it was also 8pm on a Sunday night. Spent a few hours there and a dude saw us and came running over and gave her...

Super jealous of you, dude. My time will come but must wait another month... Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515a using Tapatalk

Hey all, I'm looking for a mechanic to certify/safety my bike for insurance claim purposes. I have about 12-15 days left to show them the safety certificate, otherwise my claim will be nulled. I've done the repairs on my own, I'm just looking for a certified mechanic to look it over and give...

Hey guys, just looking to pick up a few parts for my 99 GS500E. If you're parting out your bike, let me know. I may pick up a few more parts than what's on this list. Thanks. - Gas tank w no rust or dents/scratches (preferably yellow but would consider other colour options as well) - Clutch...

My 99 GS500E was knocked over while parked last week. I wasn't at fault or on the scene at the time of the occurrence. My insurer sent an appraiser over yesterday and said my bike is beyond repairs. I'm guessing what he meant is that it'll cost more to fix than the actual value of the bike. I'm...

Yeah I kept trying to get a hold of the officer but with no luck cause he was constantly out. So I went to the collision centre since the insurance company suggested it. Turned out to be a waste of time, like you said. Finally got the officer on the phone at 6am two days later. He told me I...

Hey everyone, I rode in to work yesterday and parked where I usually park (street parking in front 420 Wellington near Spadina, in front of Bensimon Byrne), behind a CRV. After work, my bike was no longer on the centre stand, and was leaning on the kickstand instead. There was a note with the...

I've been having the same problem for the past two weeks. My 99 GS500 finally gave up yesterday morning and wouldn't turn over. I'm charging the battery now to make sure that's not the problem before I get my hands dirty..

They have quite a few options at MEC; could check there for something in the style you like. I personally just do what you do with a plastic bag.

Agreed, my GS500 has been treating me well, although I'm having some throttle issues during bike warm-up. Mine cost an extra $800 or so to get it running when I got it last year. Tank was rusted out from sitting in storage with bad fuel inside for two or three years, needed new brakes pads...
