Hey Buds, I'm new here. Glad to see there's an active motorcycle forum that might be helpful to my bike, ol' blu'.
I have a GS500f 2004, and when I was 18 years old it was my lifeline and blood. However it suffered from a lot of neglect from the previous owner and I haven't been able to get out all of the kinks.
I'm looking for parts, but a shop had it for one year :confused: and they told me to pick it up since they couldn't get any parts for it? :dunno_black: I'm sure they were just giving me some sort of run around. But anyways I'm where I was a year ago with her.
I just want her running again, I need the rod that the shifting lever is hooked to, a shifter that's close if not exact to oem, and a carb kit rebuild kit to get started. Does anyone know where I might be able to find these items, or if the shop was just memeing me since I'm young and they didn't feel like working on it (21 now)
TL;DL need a place to order parts. Sorry for not reading the rules to the dot. Thanks guys.
I get most of my parts from ebay.
They are giving you the run around. A 2004 is easy to get parts for. I have a 2005 with a 2011 engine and had no trouble with either.
Which country are you in?

Welcome to the site TylerA !!
I get my OEM parts from motosport.com and aftermarket stuff from eBay. I've also bought a couple things in the past from the For Sale section here on the forum :thumb:
Partzilla is almost never the cheapest place, but they will have almost any part you can possibly need.
You can buy the shift lever and any other shifter components here: http://www.partzilla.com/parts/search/Suzuki/Motorcycle/2004/GS500F/GEAR+SHIFTING/parts.html
As for carb rebuild kit, I would look on eBay.
