Hi all,
So I was teaching a friend how to ride the GS500E and they dropped it on its left side. The clutch lever broke and when I went to pick up the bike, some gas leaked onto the engine from underneath where the petcock hoses are. Only about 10 drops came out then it stopped. I rode it home 2 miles away and its fine. So is this anything to be worried about?
THanks
PS ne one selling a clutch lever?
rule no.1 no one rides your bike! Except you.. ;)

I may have a whole clutch assembly for sale after this weekend, I'll let you know.
yeah i guess it was a bad idea
well whats done is done. anyway bucks, let me know about the price/shipping for it. thanks!
anyone have any idea on the slight gas leak?
Check it tommorrow..run your fingers back up the fuel lines toward the tank..feel for gas.Smell your fingers....You'll know if it is leaking :icon_mrgreen:
it could have been much worse...sounds ok to me know. plze post a pic of the damage if u can. i have a stock leaver from a f model that i may be selling if raptor keeps their word and sends me a new one
If you just need the lever get the one from frankie, it'll be cheaper than buying the whole assembly from me.
hmm
well ill post pics of damage if i can find any. there wasnt much damage except the lever....will your f model lever fit on my E?
yes the f model is the same

bah, the GS is the perfect learning bike! Share the love. :icon_mrgreen:
Maybe if I didn't have so much money into it. But I have to agree, no one rides my bike except me. Especially knowing my friends... :icon_rolleyes:
The Fuel leak sounds like you it jus hit the overflow from being on its side for a lil bit... no harm
