Parting out my GS500f :(

[ynot500f]

Hey all,

I'm having to part out my 2004 GS500f.  

I ran it low on oil during a 500+ mile trip so there's a knock coming from the lower end of the motor, near the sprocket. I've been told by mechanic's that I've probably toasted the main bearings and possibly the crankshaft, and maybe balancer bearings. I've been quoted between $400 - $800 just to dismantle and diagnose the problem, plus another $800 to fix and reassemble. I bought the bike for $1800 and can't see putting almost that back in to it just to fix it. Plus, I just separated my shoulder so I won't even be able to ride for maybe as long as a year. So short story, long... I've got to get rid of the bike. Before I started to dismantle, the motor ran with no ticking / noises coming from the top end, no loss in power, and no sign of oil burning / leaking. The rest of the bike is pretty much in great condition. Here's the prices I think are fair for the parts. Please feel free to comment / ask questions / counter offer / etc...

I'm trying to sell on craigslist too so any insight or advise on what I'm doing would be great! Here's my cl posting:

If you were anywhere near Minnesota I'd be all over the whole bike.  Sorry to hear it.

[LEMON8]

PM, price for all your fairings shipped to 60630.

[nbartolomeo]

I'd be interesting in the chain sprockets, engine and back wheel, as long as they where in good shape.

[dastardly_dog]

Hi, How much for the cylinder head. 94568 Thanks

[ynot500f]

Thanks for the heads up on the CL link. [fixed]

I think I have buyers for the head and the fairings, if not I'll PM those interested. Whatever I have sold so far I'll show on the list here and keep updating.

Thanks.

I need the little switch under the clutch that tells the bike its pulled in.... Just the part that is held in by two screws.

[ynot500f]

How about $8 and I'll mail it to you in an envelope? Where's it going?

[GynZi]

Hey,

How much would you want for the tail and seat? Are you willing to ship overseas to europe?

[ynot500f]

Please clarify what you mean by "tail". The seat I'll sell for $50. As far as shipping oversea, I wouldn't even know where to start.

With tail i mean the rear fairings that are behind the seat.

Shipping overseas is quite easy, just walk to some post office and say "this box to europe thanks"

Are the forks still available? One of my forks is pitted and it leaks oil, even with new seals.

Damn.  I was just going to ask for the forks.  Well, if this sale doesn't pan out, please contact me. I want 'em too.

Do you need both? I really only need one tube. One of mine is pitted.

[5thAve]

Unforktunately (groan) I am looking for two of 'em.  But you have first dibs. Post here so we can know if they are sold. 

[Firebat]

Interested in Jardine exhaust. I may be able to pick up locally if your in Stockton. I think I sent you a pm.

[junk301]

interested in front fairings( with brackets), sprockets, chain and levers

[ynot500f]

Okay, sorry for being unresponsive. My priorities have shifted because I'm also moving and trying to tie up loose ends on other projects, so I've been detached from the internet for a few days. I'm trying to make myself available soon to get these parts ready to ship. Thanks for your patience. Everyone that's PM'd me, I will update...

[GSPhilly]

Does anyone know if the clutch lever is the same for pre-01 models?  If so, I'd be interested in this. 19070.
