Title: fuel starvation?? fix?
Post by: 02gs500e on August 16, 2007, 10:51:53 PM
So, i have a fuel starvation problem w/ my 02 gs500 so i have to run it on PRI all the time, i have read all the articles about it and to my understanding there is no real fix to it? does Suzuki now about this problem? does anyone have a permanent fix? why do some have the problem but not others? thanks

Yours is the first '01+ I've seen with it. Convert the petcock to no vacuum. There was a good post on it recently, just search "no vacuum", should get what you need, or "convert petcock"

Do you have the same petcock as the 04 - 2007 seen here?
