Hi folks I’m new the forum thanks for having me. I’ve got a 2007 and a 2004 gs500. I’m having problems with the 2004 which I’m at my whits end with. It’s only covered 8k miles and been stood for two years but just can’t get it to run. Apologies if this is the wrong area to post this.

Welcome to THeGSR.

ANy better description of symptoms? ANd then post in appropite technical section (ignition, or fuel etcetera).
ANd is generally good to introduce your self in the Owners section.

Most all folks on the forum are here because of the GSes from the late 70s and the 80s, but are some that have expereince with other bikes too.

After sitting for a couple years, would suspect condition of the battery and state of the carburators. Tell us more of what you have tried and what you have found.
