Welcome back to the GS club!

You say, "fitted a DR650 front end" like it's some easy thing to do. The forks aren't the same diameter, so doesn't it require a bunch of mods to the triple tree or something or does the DR triple just bolt right up?

Hi there. I have for sale a 2009 GS500... with a catch. It is fully torn down to the frame. I intended on a complete rebuild but I've run out of time and effort to put in so I am looking to sell.
I am unable to post pictures from my iPhone, but I will email or text pictures if you are interested.

Make me an offer because if not it's going to the scrapyard. Not something I want to do but I don't have the space for it anymore.

Located north of Atlanta.

I think I actually may have a solution. It seem now it runs ok for the most part. Seems like I just have to run it and adjust the fuel mix screw to fine tune it.

The bike is all stock actually just a carb rebuild.

We need to remove the top cover where the magnets are glued in and replace it with the one from Yes, which is shielded and doesn't cause this kind of problem anymore.

I had to reapply the glue twice on mine before I came up with this solution.

I know you probably won't understand what's being said, but here's a video that will give you a clear visual idea of what needs to be done.


If you still don't understand even after watching it, I can easily translate the video for you.
