Greetings everyone! It has been a while since I have posted.

I have a 2001 gs500 (owned it since 2004). I have a "Superchips" label on my gas tank. It appears to be similar in composition as the Suzuki label and is under the clear coat (like it came from the factory). Anyone know what it is? I have always been curious, but never thought to ask.

Thanks in Advance!

Well that explains some things, like why I had to pry the seat out of my butt crack after the first ride :icon_eek: I thought "it's only a 500". Pulled up to a stop sign revved it a little and the next thing I know I'm looking at the sky trying to figure out how to ride on one wheel. The bike also has a 42T sprocket, K&N lunch box, and, evidently, has been rejetted. I just couldn't figure what the Superchips logo was all about.

Thanks for the info.

Haha, I don't know much about it, I just googled "superchips" and that was the first link, and it had to do with motorcycles. I'd definitely love to try out a gs500 that has a problem keeping the front wheel on the ground. that's not a normal problem.

The label on the fuel tank emits an ion field which interacts with the bike's thronomister, causing a Gaussian anomaly in the non-Newtonian gravitational wave. The position of the bike's Centre of Relative Gravity in relation to the hyper-modified n-N wave causes a sub-critical shift in the tertiary molecular bonds which can induce unexpected wheelies. The addition of clip-ons usually reduces the shift to a point in the magnetic continuum that reduces this effect to a manageable level.
Those stickers are as rare as rocking horse sh*t, you lucky, lucky bastard (but don't forget the clip-ons).

as rocking horse sh*t,

?? Don't think I've ever heard this reference before. Maybe you have to be around horses to get it.

Or, maybe you never had a Rocking-horse as a child?

It's also amazing how many things a thronomister affects.  From small airplanes to recurve bows.
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

You have been duped. Someone sold you the amazing horse..only disguised as a GS500.

lol Superchips... Maybe a dynojet kit, but since it isn't fuel injected I can tell you for sure you dont have a superchip or power commander on it. I never understood the sticker thing anyway. I don't care if I had $5000 in the motor and it was all built by a company, I still wouldn't put their stickers on my bike.

I once bought a bike that had a `Guinness` sticker on the tank, guess what it was full of.......yeah.......fookin petrol!!  :D

-2 +5 gives a top speed of what, 40?

i had a 14 45 on mine once. never went on the highway with it, but was cruising the streets in 6th at 45 prolly running 6 k or so. i dont feel like doing the math right now but that was a fun setup. till i enrolled in a college that was 100 miles away.
