G'day, just got my L's a couple of months ago at 50 have been riding dirt bikes since I was 10.
Got a 2011 GS500F which is great except for the rear brake squeal!
Anyway just got to do the most test in a few weeks time at Tuggerah on the Central Coast and ditch the L plates
Going to start looking at new exhaust soon
Welcome ausgs! . All the way from me in the Illawarra! :thumb:
Wow 50 and doing your L's!
Well done :thumb:

Hi AusGS. I'm in Sydney too and got my Ls at Tuggerah last year, a few days before turning 50. A new GS was my 50th birthday present.
Are you from the Central Coast or Sydney based?
on the Central Coast
Welcome to the asylum :woohoo:
Welcome mate from another 40+ L plated rider :)
Unlike you, I haven't riden any motorbikes in my life, so this is the very first experience ever and I fell in love soon after getting the Ls and venturing on the roads.
Make sure you post pics of your GS500F, as mine is a 2010 model. Rear brake is fine on mine, but I mostly use the front anyway ;)
Welcome to the forums. Only the deluxe models get the optional extra sqealy rear brake.
I must have a deluxe model then.
me too :thumb:
Damn! now I know why my bike was selling so cheap....it wasn't a delux model :icon_mrgreen:
oh darn .. no delux brakes for me! ... however i do have the 'limited edition' blown fork seal! ... it limits the riding i can do ... come to think of it... as Martin Lawrence says in Bad Boys .. "limited edition!? ... damn right its limited!.. no cup holders!"
:D
My rear brake squeals too :( Slipperymongoose put something on that made it stop but it's worn away since and the noise is back...oh well, could be worse....
WELCOME! :icon_mrgreen:
Welcome along!
I've got the mini deluxe 450 version... my front brake is squeaky...

That's sounds about right Cods! I don't really care enough to get some but I might when I sell the bike so it doesn't put off any potential buyers :thumb:
I'm going to try some disc brake quite on the back of the pads and see if that helps.
Squeaky rear brakes rock!
