Hey i just bought a 2004 gs500f and was looking online to try to find a service manual so that i can start learning about the bike and taking it apart myself. This is my first bike so i really know nothing about bikes. Does any know where i can either download a .pdf version of the manual or buy a copy i looked on amazon and they don't have it for the 2002 and newer models.
You could buy direct from Haynes....

That was a search for the 2006 GS. Then again the book has been updated to cover ALL the models since 1989.
Good luck!

says 2005-07 don't know why 04 would be different.
I found a factory manual online at one point in PDF form... It was a 70 meg download from a slow server, but it is the real thing, and is pretty handy.... I also have the Clymer manual which is a little more clear and easier to follow.. Plus I can take it outside and get grease all over it, I can't do that very easily with my laptop...
