How many AUSSIE GS500,s

[matt86to]

Old man,
Thats a pretty sweet looking bike 

[ginji]

Another one here Black '05 GS500F, done about 17,000km on it since i got it new about 18 months ago (and 50m sliding down Old Southern Road in the southern highlands... which also meant i was off the road for 5 months, not because of me, i only coped a grazed knee, but because Suzuki took their sweet time getting the right parts to the repairer.)

atm i'm riding about 200km a day to and from uni, so quickly racking up even more k's

[zephler]

cheers Matt 

been browsing this site for a few weeks, great info 

[s4gs]

Got mine from Kessners also.
You should have got the naked. There the best IMO.

[zephler]

yeah I don't mind the nekid ones, but I'll be doin' quite a bit of highway work (Adelaide - Riverland about 225km each way) so thought  the faring would cut the wind factor down a bit

Hi there,
04 gs500f, Had my babe since september last year, At the moment I'm looking to to some mods to it, eg handlebars, exhaust.  Eastern Creek, Sydney. Hope to meet some more Sydney riders, And there seems to be more lady riders out there everyday.

[backd00r]

Hey Lou, I'm passing through that way every other week visiting friends - I'm over Parra way myself.  Hope to see you around!

How's your beast going icebaby ?

[ice77]

In bits again. Had to make a new manifold to lift the turbo higher to try'n prevent it from over oiling. I'm also making a new exhaust.  Just replaced the MX bars I had on with a set of flat drag bars.

Don't forget to post pics here 

Spose I should get my finger out & sign up at the ASF forums.

[ice77]

I'm gunna try and get the exhaust finished this weekend. I'll get some pics up then.

[Anakist]

Do you have the standard exhaust gaskets left Ice? I CBF'd talking to the local dealer because they are shaZam! so I am going to get some from overseas. Will probably work out cheaper given the strong aussie dollar.

My bike is together and running. New carb diaphragms made all the difference. Went for a bit of a blat on sunday but it was all unfamiliar roads so took it easy. Looking for people locally to ride with to get lines down and experience up. A friend of mine has organised an AFR to commemorate his sons death from cancer so I will be doing that and we will be going on a cruise down to a braking and cornering course or a superbike school or similar at some stage too!

Feels so good to be riding again!

James, I have the cut the standard exhaust in two. I've still got both parts. Front half ends after the two into one join.
