Hi! Got a big problem and hope you can help me !!! Drive a 600s bandit bj. 2000 and have now so ung. 13000 km down. The problem I have is the following. I drove from work quite normal to home via highway and put it normally at my door. So ung. 4 hours later I started again and started the machine. Or better said I tried,…… the starter started only briefly and then was off. Motor did not turn on and starter turned There I noticed a large spot under my bike on the ground. It was fuel. Looking for a little bit, I determined that the sprite dripped out of the air filter. So I took off the tank and opened the air filter. It was completely filled with fuel ! Determined 1 litre or so. When I checked the spark plugs, I noticed that the of cylinder 4 was completely wet and really bad for fuel stank. So I lit in and had to find with horror that the Z ylinder had run full. I kept the spark plug outside, put in the 2nd passage and pushed. The fuel came out literally. If I look at the glass so, I believe that also some fuel mixed with mang. What should I do now? How can I get out the fuel and what could be the error? I opened the lid briefly from the carburetor of the 4th cylinder and pulled the needle out! Everything seemed fine! But I didn’t make any further progress. a week ago, the valves were adjusted and the carburetors were synchronized ! They were running really nice and quiet all the time. Had a pass and was happy that she was running so nice. Until today ! Hope you can help me !!! Greet Kevin

Hello! The title may sound strange, but I don’t know how to call and describe the “problem” (if it’s one thing). Maybe it’s just normal, because my bike is getting older and the mileage is increasing? Who doesn’t ask stupidly, remains stupid. I think that my bike is kind of restless at constant speed. Not especially on the handlebars, but simply in general. I just feel a kind of vibration from the engine. ch. When I give gas, everything is okay! When I walk off the gas and slow down, everything feels so normal. But if I drive constantly 30, 50, 70, 100 or whatever, I feel a vibration, as if moving components in the engine were too dry, although they should be oiled (sounds stupid, but I try to describe this feeling as much as possible). The rotational number in this “feel” is so normal and remains constant. Nothing fluctuates. I know that my motorcycle has been running more smoothly – even at constant speed. I would have liked to have this suppleness as when buying the motorcycle again. Last year I bought the motorcycle with 26.790 km. At 30,000 km I had the big 24,000 inspection done, because the previous owner (screwer) allegedly did it himself, but I wanted to be safe. I did the 36,000 inspection. in April itself. Now I am at about 40,200 km. I changed spark plugs yesterday. The oil is only 4,200 km “old”. Last month I changed the chain set. The chain set before was from Suzuki. Now I have a D.I.D. chain as well as pinion and chain wheel from AFAM. Maybe this chain set just drives rougher and is normal? In addition, the steering head bearing was replaced by a workshop and I changed the steering damper (original). It certainly reads itself. Some people may not be able to understand the explanation. But maybe someone had the same problem and/or maybe they know what I mean and would have a tip on it? Of course there is still the option Workshop, but maybe there are things I could try myself before.

Hello in the round ! I’ve been riding motorcycle again recently and have gained a beautiful Suzuki GS500. She ran perfect for 2 weeks until I came back last week from the holiday. Please check my inconsistency but as I said, driving for 3 weeks The GS500 ran perfect, as I said, two weeks. Then at once no more… She is constantly strangled even after the “warm driving” while braking, before curves or traffic lights etc.. She only stayed on if the Choke Akti At first I thought it might be due to a clogged valve in the carburetor or similar with the mixture. I was finally at the screwdriver of trust and it turned out that simply someone turned out the “Standgas screw”. Totally banal but I ask myself now of course why do you do such a thing, who and especially where ???? So he turned the screw in again and everything ran perfectly. She was always in the underground garage and nowhere else. My screwdriver assured me that the screw can’t be loosened by vibration etc., so it must most likely have made a neighbor. Otherwise no one has access to the underground garage and goes into the last corner to my bike and fiddles about it. The screw is relatively inconspicuously “hidden” and I think that you have to have some idea to do something like that. It’s not about finding the guilty or making wild accusations now, but to avoid something like that in the future. I just had the idea to make a tarpaulin after the ride over it every time with a kind of marking to see if someone pulled the tarpaulin down. But I find this solution more like Semi. Since you put the machine as protected as possible and there are still so bangs… I have absolutely no understanding for. Does anyone have an idea how to better secure/protect the machine in the future ? opinions, tips, suggestions ? Many greetings
