From what I've read the 500s and later 750/1000s were not effected like Karl said. Myself I have not done anything to it or had any problems with it.

V-four.... this is no EX500. I can't wait to get back into town off of this damn work assignment and ride. I only got to ride her for 12 miles before leaving for four weeks. Its killing me, especially on a day like today.

I'm selling mine if you really want a Red, White and Blue one

Why whats going on???

I found a newer GS500 in better condition. I like the bike and would like to work it back into shape but I just dont have the time or determination for it right now. I would rather just drop a couple hundred bucks and get my GF a better bike. She was making a lot of improvements with her riding last year and I think the Bike's "Imperfections" were holding her back.

I must say though...I still cant believe how well and strong the motor runs after 24 years and about 50,000 Miles.

I understand. I love the thing, but I can tell I am going to want something hotter in a year or so. I am not a small guy.

Or I might just keep it as a backroad hitter, and buy a track bike next. Who knows....
