Used carburetors bought here.
89-00 - $1 shipped.
01-02 - $.25 shipped.
04-09 - $.50 shipped.
Good shape only, no junk. And very importantly, no fatties. Send photo first.
Cool.

so hatefull for sombady doing somthing for a GS that you don't sell

No, I am not selling nothing ... I am just buying carburetors that are now worthless.
You dont want to sell your carbs ... well ... they are worthless ... but I will use them as pillows, paperweights, dinner plates, votive holders, remote controls, and as hood ornaments.
No hateful nothing ... once there is FI, who'll want carbs.
Cool.

Bringin it back from the dead, Did he ever finish this project?

tussey · March 26, 2009, 02:57:35 PM

This thread has popped up here a bunch. I swear to god when I become a senior I will make it my senior design project to EFI the bike. Everyone seems to start it. No one can finish it.

There is another clown who has come up with this same brilliyunnnnt Idea. I am going over there with several buckets of cold water, and as I throw it on him, he is using it to perfect his intake moisture content and temperature sensors.
Apparently the GS being inductive pick up ignition is really cool for doing EFI.
Cool.

apparently not cool enough to prompt anyone to follow thru to project end!

fred · March 27, 2009, 01:31:52 PM

I don't know, EFI would be cool, but at least the GS carbs have a known working configuration. It might take people a while to get there from time to time, but it seems like building an EFI system for the GS would be like trying to tune a carb totally blind. It seems like it would take a whole lot of work. There is probably a pretty good reason Suzuki hasn't already done it, and I'm sure they have people who sit around all day doing nothing but designing fuel injection systems...

what if someone got themselfs a pair of TU250 FI setups and put them on the gs would that work?

You might be able to adapt parts from a bike like that to work with the GS, but you still have a whole lot of work to do in terms of timing and things like that...

joshr08 · March 27, 2009, 05:14:41 PM

oh i dont want to do a fi on my gs i love the carb setup on this bike. was just throughing that out there if someone wanted to try it.

I would think the Euro spec 250 Ninja fuel injection might more easily be modified. Smaller cylinders, but it is a parallel twin.

Wouldn't it be easier to just double up with single cylinder 250cc fuel injected bike parts? If you have a fuel injection system designed for one cylinder of approximately the same size as a GS cylinder, you'd be most of the way there....

Thing I like about carbs is if they play up I can fix them on the side of the road with a pocketknife and a rock. Try that with EFI.

Yeah, but the thing about EFI is: once you get it working right, it won't fail and leave you at the side of the road. Since EFI has so many fewer moving parts and most of those parts are extremely simple, there isn't nearly as much to go wrong. EFI basically replaces the highly mechanically complex carbs with a simple mechanical system and a computer that controls it. Solid state devices like EFI computers are extremely reliable and pretty unlikely to fail.

May very well be. I've never done either.

My EFI kit: Yamaha FZ6 600

Carburetors - antiquated technology

crazyfrog · April 21, 2009, 06:50:19 AM

Hello!

I am working on an efi for GS. The job it is 50% done. In short time i will go to test the electronics with the carbs on. I will use a throttle body and intank high pressure pump from kawasaki 600 ER EN. You can find some pictures at http://suzukigs500efi.blogspot.com/ (use google translate because it is in romanian).

Can you tell me what it is the code of that air filter ?
