I layed my 1998 GS500E down ALREADY!!!! this blows! i'm so bummed i did't even know what happend....i'm fine no damage due to helmet!

SO WHEN PPL SAY WEAR A HELMET THEY MEAN IT!

I want to get this fixed and was wondering if i could just fix this myself? or do i have to take it to the shop.

i'm a newb with motorcycles so any detailed help will help me a lot!

sorry to hear about the bike.  :cry:
Don't bother taking it to a shop, they will charge you an arm and 4 legs.  :mad:
Not a huge deal  8)

EDIT
you will need 13, 11, 1, and 2 from here:  I THINK


and definately need to fix the clipped wire coming out of the bikes wound (i forget what its for- i wanna say oil pressure sensor, not sure?)

the gsboard will be glad to aid you in your repairs!
good luck! :thumb:

...you will need 15 14 and 18

Aren't you looking at the wrong side of the bike?  The damage is to the dipstick-side...

edited previous post.
it IS the dipstick side.
and you will need the gasket (#2) when replacing the cover.


I think the wire might be the signal generator wire: I don't think you can buy just the wire. I would try fixing the wire because the "generator assembly" costs over 100 ducks

to replace #1 you will need to remove it completely and it is recommended that you replace the gasket (#2) at the same time.

word!

so on the cut wires i should just tie them back together right?

and then cable tape them all individually?

and my motorcycle should crank up?

I'm so scared  :cry:

Poor GS500E me and my lack of experience...

make sure all the wires have a really good connection to each other.
You might want to make another post asking the best way to repair the wire
Also make sure nothing else is broken inside that hole

Sorry bout your bike.Kinda like backing over your dog in the driveway....Ebay is your friend...Just put in Suzuki GS500 into the search option.Don't buy from anyone with a feedback rating of under 98%.It may take you a few weeks to find what you need,but there is usually some good buys. :thumb:
Well, either you're part of the problem, part of the solution,...
              - ..or you're just part of the landscape. - lndeed.

if the bike was tipped over then gas probably came out the overflow tube.
but now that it is upright it should be A OK  :thumb:
