Morning all i'm manny

i hail out of sevierville tn, We just bought 2007 gs500f in good shape other it has a bad motor. i'm not new to motorcycles i currently own two katanas one 97 600 that i bought as a basket case and 1994 600 that i bought with a lot of issues.

current status 1994 kat is running and riding bike as of 8/12/2012 still need all the plastics painted installed
1997 kat need the carbs pulled cleaned and reinstalled and synced
2007 gs500f is naked right now and we in the process of pulling the motor for either a rebuilt or transplant of a new motor have yet to figure it out.

The 94 katana 600 wifes bike




The collection


the gs500f

figure out the status on the gsf, ill do what i can to assist, since were not that far apart. is she locked or knockin like hte popo on a drug raid? or?, or do you know yet?

So just a update. went to huntsville alabama sat and bought used gs500f motor with only 590 miles on spent all of sunday replacing the old motor with the new one and got it running but does sound like it may need to be syncd.

running rough? or not responding to throttle input too well? depending on how long the engine has been sitting, carbs may need cleaning

Welcome to the site. I recently bought an 07 also with a bad engine and even more recently swapped it out for an 05 engine with 2800 on the ODO. Mine didnt run first either but after cleaning the carbs, drilling out the brass caps and adjusting the mixture, it runs A LOT better
