Title: GS500E Part Out Feeler
Post by: Shift-E on May 04, 2021, 11:38:44 AM
Hi Y'all.

I have a 1989 GS500E that's been sitting for a bit and I've lost all interest in restoring it. Putting out a feeler for parting it out. It's a bit of a frankenstein, as I believe the previous owners put a later 2000+ engine in it (not sure what year exactly) but still has early model carbs.

I did new sprockets, wheels, and chain a few years ago, and it's been lifted off the wheels while stored so they shouldn't have any issues. I also re-built the carbs then, but might want to double check it anyways if you buy.

The main culprit that has me stopped is the fuel tank is rusty and was gunking the carbs. I think it probably needs a valve adjustment. Previous owner might have dropped it, but it doesn't look bad (probably fell over, or very low speed drop)

If you're in need of parts, let me know and give me an offer. If you want to pickup anything, I am in Ottawa, Canada.
