A month ago i was in a rush to get into work after parking and the GS 500 has a indent just past the steering lock that is a parking lights setting. You can take out your keys and it blazed as long as it could… It was dead when I came out. The 500 is a cold starter but somehow I got it bumped up to run and got home. My problem now is surging. It had the carb overhauled less than 2000 miles ago so I don’t think that is the problem.
jguarfn28ParticipantDon’t take it the wrong way, but as a recent GS500 buyer, I think it is too heavy for most women. The first owner of my bike was a lady and it’s fairing has been glued back together from its off-roading “break-in” period. I don’t know what happened but the guy she sold it to only rode it for a hundred or so miles and now I have it. I have one of the turn signals taped on currently as the cost of replacement is substantial. Go used Ninja 250, they are all over most Craigslists and are lighter than the GSTwin. Good Luck
