Allright, i'm not sure if you all are familiar w/ the problems i been having, but I picked up a 92gs500 for 500 bucks.  Anyway it needed a lot of work.  Ran like crap.  FINALLY I got fed up with it and took it to the dealership, apparently carbs needed some new parts  and it was only runnin on one cyclinder.

450 bucks later and a new set o' tires.  All I can say is damn.  Sweet bike, they tuned it cleaned and fixed the carbs. new fork seals tires blah blah.........Feel like a kid in the candy store. :P

Good for you!

Add a cheap inline fuel filter to avoid any more pieces of junk from the tank to get to the carbs.  My dealer installed one for free the first day we got the bike :thumb:

right on! it is weird but i just did that same deal in orlando. i got a '92 gs500 for close to the same price you paid. except i have pretty much the opposite situation with mine. it rides and runs very well but is very neglected cosmetically (been sitting outside for a couple years). mine is at the shop right now. i cannot wait to get it back and hit the road.

is your bike deep purple metallic? i'm less than excited about the purple and pink but it is a great ride. when it comes home from the shop it will be black, so i guess its all good then. pretty soon it wont look like a girls bike. hooray! im lovin it.  i really hope you have a great time on yours just like i am.  :cheers: congrats on your new bike.  :)
my GS is driven like it's stolen.
