luckly i have not had to worry about that, only tring to land a C150 at 80mph... o yea need to pull out a little bit of power and wala down she comes

so... I have the 2 1/2 quarts of black oil I drained out of the bike when it started making the noise... this is 800 miles after I had it serviced, tires, brakes, timing chain adjust, tuneup, and supposave oil change...

everyone (the assfucks included hehehe) claim it was oil, and not the fuel... can I go after them, or just suck it up? I just moved to buff, ny... and I had the bike serviced in seattle before I moved...

is there a "rebuild kit" that I can buy, or should I inspect each piece individually and go piece by piece?

black oil.....nice...   are you sure they just didnt polish off the oil filter and give the bike back to you without changing the oil.  I know shops that do that stuff.   Thats why i always change my own.

2.5qts? Doesn't the GS use close to 4 or 5?

Mine held 3 qts with filter change.

3.1 with filter change for gs500 owner manual

Get a Haynes or Claymers manual it will explain how to do a rebuild ( at leat I think it will does in my other Haynes's )

Buy the parts you need don't think they really make a rebuild kit but I know they sell all the gaskets in a set.  Just follow the book and rebuild your engine.

And guys does it really matter why his engine is f%&ked?  He's looking for advice on how to fix it.

No rebuild kits except for aftermarket gasket kits. Partsnmore.com and ebay are the best source for them.

Piece by piece is the only way to go.
