The time has come to let my bike go. I have come to realize that i just cant own this bike and it has to go. Please dont post in here if your not seriously interested in buying it, I know everyone told me not to sell it, but its a decision I have already made. Here it goes…
The frame and title says its a 1990 Suzuki GS500. The motor is a 96 with an unknown mileage. When i first got the bike, the motor that was in it was a race motor (cams, valve springs, ignition advancer, heads shaved to .200, carbs were stage 2 jetted)
As it sits right now, it has a stock motor, stock carbs, pod filter, yoshimura exhaust.
also has a 636 tailight, the subframe was notched to fit a wider back tire, runs a 150 now, slightly wider than a stock one. aftermarket works shock setup for 180 lb. rider, i have an extra rear tire for it as well. has michelin race pilots that have around 1500 miles on them.
i removed the superbike bars and added clip-ons. also removed stock mirrors and added streetfighter mirrors.
mileage on the odometer says around 9k, but that was from the first rebuild on the old motor.
I still have the motor all the race parts, that motor spun a rod bearing and bent and intake valve. it will need to be fixed and rebuilt. i will include it in the sale as well. carbs are still in good condition, still jetted and recently rebuilt.
i just put on green led neons, new led plate lights and painted it flat black.
there is a small dent in the gas tank from the clip-ons hitting it, the muffler also has some minor rash on it, nothing that cant be sanded and polished.
on to the pictures…
$2,000 FIRM without gear, $2200 with the gear. Arai helmet w/ dark smoked & clear visor, size is Large, new was $550, Alpinestars XL/11 gloves $80, Size med. jacket was almost $300. cant beat it!
decided to sell huh…
