Anyone got part numbers and reccomended brands for air, oil, and fuel filters? Any and all help appreciated :)
Did you check the Wiki? I think they are all listed there.
Good show old man i'll check immediately. Anyone know if these are reasonably priced at autozone?
Alright scratch the fuel filter one on wiki was $70+ and does anyone know if autozone even carries motorcycle parts? And how expensive are oil filters?
I got a FRAM oil filter at Advance Auto for about $4. They keep them in stock here. Watch out, the O ring that comes with it is feeble.....I had to get the real thing from the Suzuki dealer in the end.
Wiki says there's a 12$ filter on bike bandit but the one i found is 28$. OEM=Stock right?
Is this the air filter they're talking about on the wiki?

These will be my selections if i can get the ok from somebody (anybody?) on the filters.
just find a local motorcycle shop for the fuel filter they usually have a little cardboard display of them for less than $3 each.
My only "local" shop charges an arm and a leg for a nut or bolt :laugh:
Also what size fuel filter do i need for my gs500?
Bump. Can anyone verify these filters are all gs500 compatible and what size gas filter i need (site has 1/4 inch and 5/16 inch sizes)?

And will i need to rejet after i put in this carb?
The oil filter i've used is a fram, CH6000F or something like that. Autozone or O'Rielys carries it. About $3.
(people love to bash fram, but i've used them for over 300,000 miles on an assortment of vehicles ;) )
Your fuel lines should be 5/16" . Any higher flow fuel filter should be fine. You don't have a fuel pump to PUSH the fuel through, keep that in mind. ;)
welcome :)
Oil filters i have used fram from advanced or autozone(3-4 beans) and k&n from the local stealer(14-17 beans). Both came with filter and seals. I don't think it should be more than 20 unless parts are bloated in your particular area cause i have seen that before. If you go to the parts store they will likely only have the filter listed for older GSs, as in up to 2000 i think. In my area i had to switch from advanced to autozone because the local autozones stopped stocking the filter. I would give you the number but i have tossed that one, the new GS has a spin on that everyone has in stock :laugh: :laugh:
Fram gets bashed regarding the construction of their spin on cartridge filters. The end caps are typically paper board instead of metal and the pressure relief valves are typically pretty simple or crude. BUT, most users of their priducts report no problems and if the paper board does hold up, then so what? On this bike, naked cartridge type filter probably should be fitted with metal end caps -- is the Fram filter built on metal end caps?
prs
I've used mostly Fram filters for almost ten GS500 years now and the CH6000 Frams have always had metal end caps. The Autozones around here used to carry the STP brand MC oil filters and their SMO-00 filter for the GS was identical to the Frams, even had the same manufacturers part number stamped on one of the metal end caps.
Only complaint around this board about the Frams has been the o-ring type gaskets being a bit too small but they are easily retained in the groove by applying ample grease to them to stick them in the groove.
I started using Frams on cars about 40-50 years ago. When I started driving 60 years ago most cars didn't have oil filters and we were adding aftermarket bypass types made by Fram, I went to work in an auto repair garage when I was 15, worked full time summers and part time winters thru HS and College.
I must have done about 50 GS500 Fram oil filter changes in the past 140k miles.
