Almost took me a year to remember to do this challenge.  Ah well, better late than,... :dunno_black:



I'm thinking I'll end up playing this game solo but maybe somebody will get it. 

Next challenge, your bike with a mechanic shop that has TRANSMISSION in the name of it.   :icon_mrgreen:

Can't wait to see what you do with it!

Yeah, if you have a good strong spark, I would start by opening the float bowl drain screw for that carb and see if gas comes out to confirm that fuel is getting into the carb at all. If it passes that test then you can start breaking down the carb for cleaning.

I have a 2005 gsxr good for parts and a 2001 gs500 that's road worthy. What is my compatibility like and is it worth the effort to swap forks and rear? I've sifted through the forums, but a lot of links are broken as well as imbedded pictures. Thank you!

Got an issue, I rode 20 miles yesterday and no issues. I decided to pressure wash my bike today. After the wash it would not start. I jumper the starter solenoid and it started but, it idles rough and when I give it throttle it spits and sputters and dies. I am new to the page.

If one cylinder isn't getting warm it isn't burning fuel...
Checking the spark plug condition would be where I would start.

Here is a vid of a Honda mechanic replacing the sight glass on a project bike. I like how it was his first time doing this and he wasn't happy with his first attempt.

Hope it helps.

General GS500 Discussion / Right side of engine cool
Last post by Spleafsgs500 - March 19, 2024, 04:30:20 PM
I have a GS500 2003 and when I start my bike I can feel the left side of the engine gets hot right away and over time the right side will get slightly warm but nothing compared to the left side. Any insights what might be the issue or is this normal. Engine seems to be running pretty smooth.
