Ya'll,
I have just - or will on Monday - pick up a very clean, stock 2001 GS-500E with 15,000 miles on it. I have rebuilt / or reclaimed many bikes over the years and just need the collective wisdom of the board to steer me in the right direction.
(Numbers / Recommendations for:)
Spark Plugs -
Oil capacity - and weight - 10/30 10/40 ?
Front Sprocket - Rear Sprocket - (thinking of going 17 teeth on front / 39 Rear - thoughts?)
Fork Oil weight and capacity -
Also, are there any things I should be aware of that give problems? Rectifier? Stator? Starter Relay? General electrical gremlins I should address or look for?
I'm trying to stay away from deviating from stock, but would a freer flowing canister exhaust with no other mods require a rejetting?
TIA
