Pandy the Purple Pansy will be along shortly to kick your ass regarding your choice to disfigure that beautiful girly paint scheme.   :laugh:

Nice rocket turtle, where do I get one?   :)
Every zero you add to the tolerance adds a zero to the price.

If the product "fails" will the product liability insurance pay for the "failure" until it turns 18?

Nice bike. It is amazing that it has remained so good looking and so stock after all these years. I also have a '94 with that paint scheme, but without the stickers. I think it looks alright. When I first got it I considered repainting it, but I've grown to not mind the purple paint scheme...

I happen to like that purple paintjob! Im actually painting mine a dark purple one of these days. Like a crown royal bag! :cheers:

ok sooo first ride i took had very little power past 1/3 throttle
it would have problems climing small hills at 30 MPH at 6.5k
some somthings wrong so i pulled the carb just cause i figured that were it is


so here are the main jets see a problem?





If your blind the right jet is about halfway clogged.


o and were does this pair of little O rings go?

The little tiny O-rings on the bottom left of the photo go in the recess in the top of the carbs, near the diaphragm.  They seal the venturi vacuum test channel.

The slightly larger O-rings should be for the emulsion tubes (what the jets screw into).

You didn't strip the decal off the tank?  Anyway, it looks better than purple!  :thumb:  Hope it's running well for you.

...now it's time for a fenderectomy and some short stalk signals!  :icon_mrgreen:
2000 GS500E -- Fenderectomy, Super tidy and tiny cheapo turn signals from Ebay THAT DO LIKE TO BLOW BULBS!!! =[ ...

i tryed to sand it off but after about 20 mins on each decal i said screw it and painted over them.

i was to tired by the end of yesterday to cut the rear fender but it will happen this weekend.  and i have ducati turnsignals on the way so ill replace the signals instead of shortening
