Another newbie here from Sydney. Wish I'd started riding 15 years ago, but better late than never. Recently bought an '05 GS500 with ~25,000k's. My first bike & loving it. The bike is booked in for a major service shortly. Can't wait to get off my L's; hoping to do my P's test within the next month.

G day Mate & Welcome to the Forum 

Hi guys,

I'm new to here. I'm from Melbourne S.E Suburbs. And ride the GS500 daily to work in the CBD on the Monash.
Started on an old 90 Kawasaki zx250r and changed to a 2008 GS500F(very positive change:), loving the GS500F. So much more comfy yet still sporty)
So far been reading up heaps on the bike and have added the following mods:

- Carbon Megacycle Exhaust
- K&N Lunch Box
- Rejet to 20/62.5.142.5
- ebay foot pegs
- waiting on some ebay hids to come in

Quick question for you guys, my bike is a 2008 GS500F and it was purchased in early 2009 February.
For insurance they need to know the model, would it be a K8 or K9?
I can't find anything that signifies this on the engine compliance plate.

Should organise a Suzuki GS Cruise some day. See a fair few of them in the city and around the place.

Cheers,

Lawrence

Heres a crappy pic from mobile.
Still waiting for decent weather for some good photos.

Welcome Lawrencem
very nice looking bike you have
have you had a look  on the top right hand side of the frame for the Vin No, you should fined  the date of the bike was built e.g 10/09.

Had my 06 gs500f for about 3 mths now and have put over 3000 on the clock, upgraded from a 84 vt250f, Their like chalk and cheese.

Live in Adelaide. (south of the city)

Bike has had 2 previous owners. The first changed the exhaust to an Arrow, jetted the carbs. K&N filter and changed the indicators.

Welcome mate. Great choice in bikes but i wish you guy's would stop posting.

Ya making me regret selling my 04 naked.     


 

Hi from Newcastle. Have a 07 GS500F its my second bike as I got sick of my first bike very quickly but it did the job of teaching my L skills. Will get off Red Ps in November which I'm hanging for.

And another one from Sydney - 2004 GS500F

Cool pic. Helmet matches the bike

May have even posted here before but cant remember. Heres a pic any way.

Welcome to the forum guys & nice looking bikes

Hi Guys,  I'm in Tamworth and I have an '09 naked which I just bought as "new, old stock". 
It's my first roadbike and it makes a very pleasant change from farm bikes.

You're also in a good location to be part of our Round Aust Relay - we pass a baton from GS500 rider to GS500 rider. See my sig file.

Welcome.... and pics if you've got some/one.
