I just bought a 96 gs500e, and i need to take it to a mechanic.
It dies on me all the time, the choke doesnt work properly, and it has absolutely no power.
The previous owner put in a stage 3 jet kit and k&n filter, and i think thats where the problem is (i dont think he installed it correctly). I also think that it might need a valve adjustment and who knows what else.
Does anyone know of any good mechanics in San Jose area that I could take it to?
Thanks
Welcome! The only one I've been to is Double R Cycles (http://www.doublercycles.com/). They look like a decent shop but are quite expensive. After taking my bike in and getting an estimate I decided to dig in and do the wrenching myself! :o :laugh:
scratch might now of other places as well.

Evolution Suspension (http://www.evolutionsuspension.com), too! :icon_mrgreen:
They've done 600-mile, 1k-mile, and 4k-mile services for me, as well as lowering my baby. They've always treated me right, and they have the CUTEST dawgie! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
