07 gs 500F Sluggish

To me, the valves are the most frustrating part of the GS500 as they do need checking quite frequently in comparison to other bikes. But on some bikes, even though the check/adjustment frequency is longer, they also require removing the cams. At least the GS500 is easier to access and there are only 4 valves. I don't like it either, but I wouldn't sell mine because of that. Keep in mind that I put about 20,000km on mine per year, plus I screwed one adjustment up which meant I had to go in one additional time more than I needed to.

I drained all the gas float bowls & all let it run about 15 minutes in the drive & rode it about 2 miles. The bike ran perfect before it had its little crash thats why I dont think its valves. Its really just an extra bike I picked up to play with to be honest I cant see me riding it a whole bunch when I get it fixed. I am kind of partial to my 2 Vmax's
