Title: Is this right?
Post by: Sirkwa on June 30, 2006, 02:22:52 PM
Im looking to buy my friends 2004 GS500F. It only has 2,400 miles. It was tipped over in a gravel driveway when another bikes stand dug in the gravel, knocking both over.

My question to you is does the Gear shifter look right?
Is it suppose to be angled or a dead 90 degrees to the bike?
Would using clamps to bend it back damage it?


I never owned or rode a bike before any comments will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Welcome!

Looks perfect.  The rubber part is straight out.  :thumb:

Hmmm think it looks a little bent in  :dunno_white:  ride to a suzuki dealer and compare it  to a new one.  That pice only cost about $10.00 anyway.

It's bent.  Put a small pipe over it and bend it back.  The levers are real soft.
