Title: Cannot figure out my bike
Post by: Brandon26 on July 12, 2026, 09:50:03 AM
So I just bought this bike 2 weeks ago. 2005 Suzuki gs500f with 7000 miles. I sat and sat in the guys garage, bad gas etc. I've torn out the carbs and cleaned them, cleaned the jets, and the top end of the carbs, all clear and clean, replaced the spark plugs with DPR8EA 9 plugs from Autozone because the right cylinder wasn't firing. Adjusted the floats, The Air/Fuel screws are both turned out to 3. It is revving a little slow and stumbling through 4-6500 rpm's and then will shoot up to redline after 7k. I have a video but I don't think I can upload it here. I'm lost, and am looking for help here before I either send it through a shop or relist on marketplace.

Thinking Coil pack because the right side isn't getting a spark. Any other ideas?

Hi Brandon,
Sorry to hear of the issues with your bike.
Are you still trying to get it sorted?
Let me know, I didn't want to post a long reply in case you have already given up on it and sold it again.  :)
This group is not as active as it used to bem which is very sad.
:)
But I can help if you still need some ideas.
Best wishes,
Todd :)
