It ARRIVES! restoration of my 1990 Suzuki GS500 | How to get bike started |Restoration Biker

[@markwatson7778]

I have a 99 model GS500 thank you all your help and advice is brilliant

[@RestorationBiker]

Glad to help. Don't forget if you get any problems, let me know I will help if I can

[@ramonj360]

This can't be a coincidence. First you show us how to fix the f650 beamer the same bike i own. And now you got a suzuki gs500 which my mate owns. Brilliant 😁

[@RestorationBiker]

Blimey, that's amazing coincidence. The GS is going to be a great resto, once I get started on it. Quite a job, eh! Can't wait.

[@Hoekstes]

Got the notification of the vid 3 days late, but absolutely delighted about this series. Looking forward to the rest and I hit the bell button so I don’t miss anything in future.

[@RestorationBiker]

Hi, brilliant, glad you are enjoying the vids. I have been doing a lot with this bike and as a result I have lots of video to now edit and send out . I am hoping to post a new video on sun or mon each week. I am also looking forward to doing the restoration of this bike when I have finished these videos.

[@Tonyhodges33]

i own and ride a 1989 gs500e in original condition minus the 30,000 miles and re-jetted carbs and opened up exhaust. I get an average of 50 miles per gallon of fun. So looking forward to your videos! Thanks!

[@RestorationBiker]

Yes, I agree they are superb bikes. Great fun to ride too. The final video of that series (GS500) is coming soon. It, looks, and rides, superbly.

greetings from greece :)

[@RestorationBiker]

Hi, Hope it is nice and warm where you are so that you can enjoy some motorcycling.

[@brandenhemphill]

Can u make a video on adjusting the carbs? My GS500 is definitely running a little lean

[@RestorationBiker]

Hi, I have done a couple of videos of carb rebuilds. I think I did do the carbs from this bike. The problem is, I do not have this bike anymore, so I can't do any more videos for this machine. Your bike may have a blockage in one of the jets the pilot jet is common for that. It is best to buy new ones as clearing them can be a real pain. They are dead cheap.

[@gruschth]

thank you for the explanations and the offer

[@RestorationBiker]

No problem

[@GoncaloMartinho1976]

Hello there about the Gs 500 .....i bougth a 93 some problems and i could need and use your advice and expertise i drove the bike 3 or 4 days in a row to my Job ...30 km total. she needs a rear disc for sure,if you can explain in a detailed video, the replacement off the rear disc,Thank You

[@RestorationBiker]

Hi, i have the footage to do exactly that. It is being edited at the moment so hopefully, I will soon be publishing a video on rear disc and chain renewal. thanks for your comments.

[@BrkicM-motoandvideo]

Was it in the sea for few years? 😂😂.

[@RestorationBiker]

Yeah, I know. But I wanted a bike that obviously 'needed' work, rather than one that needs nothing. At least when I restore it, the difference would be more than noticeable

[@BrkicM-motoandvideo]

@@RestorationBiker That is true. It is great when you see old bike in great condition on the road. Your projects are really interesting and you do a great job. 👏👏🙋‍♂️🇭🇷

[@RestorationBiker]

@@BrkicM-motoandvideo Many thanks for your kind comments. I love to see the attention to detail, that some people manage to achieve. It will be nice to do some before and after pics when I am finished.

[@hodza4297]

Hi! Was wondering what the items are on the side of the seat placement. looks like the plug for the turners. but whats left of that? Looks like an old CDI box? U can see it 11:37 in the video

[@RestorationBiker]

Hi, Are you talking about the 'finned' unit? That is the voltage regulator. It is wired between the alternator and the battery.

[@atharvatrivedi5166]

can you do a video on changing starter relay?

[@RestorationBiker]

Hi, I do not have this bike anymore as I sold it some time ago. BUT. I did have to change the starter relay on it when I was doing it, so I will see if I have film of me doing it and if I have I will make a film up for you.

[@kieranjones3696]

Hi, loving the video series. If you don't mind, would you share what you paid for this? I am looking at something similar condition and wondered what is reasonable. Thank you.

[@RestorationBiker]

Hi this bike was a bit of a 'project' I bought it early 2021 I think, and I gave £300. But like all projects the cost of the bike was the cheap part!!

[@kieranjones3696]

@@RestorationBiker Thank you :) the one I was buying was a similar price. I just wanted to make sure I was on the right track haha. Disappointingly the CDI is fried too. Your vids are simple, reliable and honest! Thanks :)

[@RestorationBiker]

@@kieranjones3696 Glad I could be of a help to you.

[@saudazzi2430]

bro what is the fuel consumption of this bike in pr litter????

[@RestorationBiker]

Hi, Do not know anything about the MPG yet as I haven't had a chance to ride it . Can't wait till I do as I think it will be great as a 500 cc twin. I will let you know as soon as I ride it. Take care.

[@gruschth]

good work - but the handlebar - not beautiful

[@RestorationBiker]

Hi Many thanks. The handlebars were new on the finished bike. The ones on the bike at the beginning were 'clip ons'
