    Introduction and question

    Hello and Thank you for allowing me to join. I'm a member of other forums and enjoy talking with other motorcycle riders. I buy and repair older bikes. I'm located in lower Michigan. I am currently working on a 1997 Suzuki GS 500e for a co worker and I am in need of a few bolt torque specs, I just replaced the fork seals and in need the torque for the upper and lower triple tree bolts, handlebar riser bolts, axle bolt and caliper bolts. Any help would be great. Thank you in advance. I look forward to sharing my experiences and advice as well.

    Greetings, welcome, and all that stuff.

    That model is quite a bit newer than what we usually work on, but torque specs have probably not changed much over the years.

    Take a peek in our library to look in some manuals for similar bikes for information that should get you close.

      Michiganders coming out of the woodwork, I tell ya! Whereabouts are you?

      This forum mostly caters the the vintage GSes (mid 70's to mid 80's) but there are lots of people here that have experience on other Suzukis (and indeed nearly every bike imaginable).

      Welcome!

        Welcome!
        I think early '80's (to early '80's) also qualifies. But the 1970's beats the '80's because there was none of this liquid-cooled nonsense.

          Doh! Good catch. Clearly I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue...

              Oh, ok. Well I guess this isn't the forum I need, I belong to many motorcycle forums, the members are willing to give advice and give a helpful hand. Later !!
