Welcome
Bike looks good to me :thumb:
always had a thing for the gs500 not an old mans cruiser and not a super dooper sport bike its the 'happy medium' i suppose
my plan was to commute with it (50miles one way) to work but i had it on the highway and at around 60mph it really has some engine vibration i know these bikes arent precision motorcycles but the vibration seems kinda of excessive. it almost seems like its out of tune, cant really say for sure cause i dont know and when i really accelerate like 'speed shift' through the gears ( yes i do ride like a hoon :icon_rolleyes:) seems like the clutch slips but then that could be that i suck at riding a bike but if the discs were slipping could that cause some vibration? just trying to get ideas
