carburetor's

i need to rebuild my carburetor's what kind of kit do i need?

[Kerry]

We're going to need to know the model year of your bike; the carbs changed in 2001.

a complete rebuild kit isnt a bad idea,  jets, floats, diaphragms, seals etc.  if you havent made any modifications to it, the OEM stuff is great.

[jony_c]

well it's a 2000 gs 500, no modifications all stock, also how much do they run, and were is the best place to buy one?

thanks jon

"The best" is always hard to know, but check out [THIS SOURCE].  Select
     GS500E K-P (89-93)
from the dropdown list.

(Yes, I know you have a 2000.  This kit will fit all models from 1989 to 2000.)

Notice that the minmum order is $35.  Two kits add up to $24, so poke around some of the other sections (Accessories, Tools etc) and pick up a few other things you may need.  A cargo net, jumper cables, and a pressure cable luber come to mind....

thanks i just orderd the parts, how long did the shiping take when you orderd your stuff of that site?

[Kerry]

Gee ... it's been a LONG time since I ordered from partsnmore, so I don't remember how long it took.  But I ended up sending the carburetor rebuild kits that I bought to a fellow GStwinner who was desperate, and I still haven't replaced them.

I guess it's time to place another order ... but what will I do with two sets of jumper cables and two cable lubers?

ya thats what got also

I just ordered from them Sunday Morning ( so Figure Monday was the earliest it was  processed...).  Box sitting on my door step today when i got home from work.

They are in New York ( at least that's where my package came from..) and I'm in Maryland.

I just ordered a "rebuild " kit for My VX 800 to make the order meet the $$ minimum...
