As my previous comment on the other vids, love the work you put into this. Can I ask where you got the Suzuki badge/decal for the engine?

Loving the series. Great job. Ive got the same bike and I've just stripped it back to get the frame powder-coated. I'm deciding if I should keep the handlebars or switch to clip-ons. With yours, did you get a new top triple tree that suits clip-ons? If so, can you send a link? I also installed a digital dash on mine as the OEM housing became brittle and the speedometer fell off when I tried to swap out the dash lights to LED.

I’m having major problems with my 06 gs500. Not sure if there’s a lack of vacuum or what but I lose all power and rpm shoots up at higher speeds or temperature…. No idea

hm id say grab new sparks, and if not that a carb rebuild kit. carbs are easier than you think to take off and the rebuild kits are pretty straight forward. double check jets are not clogged, and the floats are working correctly. I had a Honda shadow where it was the floats. If none of that may be the gas lines or vacuum leak.

I had the same problem. It was damaged hose with dummy plug in front of the carburetors. This hose has connection with throttle chamber and mixture was wrong. This hose was the reason for the valves burning out in my bike

I’m not a master welder. But wire speed will either burn it or put too much wire to it. Typically I keep mine in between 3 and 4 on the wire speed. On minimum for the amperage. I’m typically welding thin metals. But thick max and 3 on the wire speed. Also gasless welders are junk. Sure u can weld with them. But gas is where it’s at. Also spot welding with it helps. Couple second on. Couple seconds off. Jump around too. If u see it cherry hot. It’s too hot bud
@jimmybuildsbikes4 ай бұрын
Yeah i had mine on the same setting. it's a hand me down welder so had to work with what i had. I ended up bringing it to a friend with a gas welder after i got the base welds down. it came out a lot better

Does the battery charge normally? Let's say the battery run out of juice, can you recharge with a trickle or do you need a special charger?

Here are some tips that woork for me: - Do the seat and all the dirt stuff before painting - Never remove airbox and all the muffler from a carburated bike (will ruin the performance mostly at high revs) - Never remove completely the fenders Really cool GS BTW :) keep it up!

@leoglasmeyer2853Ай бұрын
removing restrictions usuallt does the opposite. It CAN give slight performance increase at high revs, but completely guts the low and mid end, making the bike more "peaky" and less usable overall.
