[bladebj]

Hi everyone,

İ am Armagan from Turkey i have little orange gs500e when i bought it, it was bad condition. I learned some upgrade and modification from this forum so i applied it

Firstly i modified my rear fender and rear staff and i painted the tank and rear fender(not complete), the significiant change is rear shock upgrade i replaced mine with SV shock and my rear tire is METZ 160/60 my front fender is broken still i am searching an used one. I am such a huge man that is why i called the bike "little"




when we removed the stock shock






while we drilling







when we finish the replacing

i will keep posting the other upgrade or modifications but photos will be more detailed

you are a giant to be able to fully stradle the gs heel down with the center stand down.

awesome mods, look forward to more pictures of the progress.

Very Nice!

i cannot take photos while the job is processing because my camera is broken so i borrow someone else's camera to take these photos

i am planning to cover sides with grids (my english is not good) i saw it from another guy's bike on here



iam also considering cutting my chase and re-desing it but i want to keep it original

i have some front brake fluid leaking issue and it is leaking on the front tire probably because of the hose will replace it

i am a 110kg-human so the riding is quite uncomfortable can my rear shock is a little bit hard (stiff) ? should i make softer it?

and also my carb issue is still annoying me

another problem after 7k rpm is rising very slowly althought full throttle

my clucth plates should be replaced

in second gear i can see only 80kmh on 7-8k rpm when i try to going faster vibration is really annoying and althought my engine is running faster my bike is not

also in first gear if i try the full throttle very quickly , rpm is rising very quickly but bike does not go anywhere

so i think clucth plates can cause these symptoms



after all finished my bike will be fine and i will be happy totally.

nice work.  be sure to not use oil that has friction modifiers, or marked energy conserving, that will cause clutch slippage

thanks for warning my oil is not power saver or something i am very careful about that

and my carb issue still continue because i dont have any tools to sync vacuums i guess my one cylinder has more vacuum. so equal butterfly's angle does not work

sorry for bad english

You can make the tool in 5 miutes. Just take clear tubing and fill it with motor oil.

Your English is perfectly fine.

[bladebj]

thanks i tried to make the thing like this i guess my hose's diameter is too big to measurement because when i fired the engine, the oil in the hosel going left to right, right to left like crazy and i couldnt measured anything

i will try soon with small diameter hose and the hose will be longer (because i cannot catch the oil while it was going to vacuum port , my carb vacuumed some oil )

You could try adding the extra valve that they talk about in this thread. It might help to stabilize the oil.

About the clutch, a silly question, but I guess you have adjusted the clutch cable?

Very good work with the painting! Unique!
