Title: What Gas Caps/Ignitions/Locks will fit our GS500?
Post by: waltermax on January 11, 2008, 10:07:59 AM
What other Suzuki's would have interchangable Gas Cap/Ignition/seat lock to fit our GS500?

Just bought a 1996 GS500 for dirt cheap.  I had to drill out the gas tank because the key wasn't working, and I want to remove all of the remaing fuel.  Now I just have to find another GS for parts, or find another suzuki that is interchangable.  I am guessing I could look for any GSX of similar body years, '88-01, and maybe the Savage or other 500-750cc suzuki... I want all of the keys to match if possible, but I'll go for just a gas cap if it's significantly cheaper.

Suzuki has two different gas caps... one with 5 bolts holding it on and one with 7 bolts.  Ours are the 7 bolt.  I know this because a gas cap cover for some other 7 bolt(I doubt it was designed specifically for a GS anyway) fits mine.

I have a similar problem. A locksmith told me he can put a new lock in the gas cap and key it up so it will match the ignition and seat lock. Hope that my help.
