Having used many manuals over the years I found this repair manual the most comprehensive and easy to understand yet. This manual has more photos and more exploded views that I could have hoped for.

If you like to do your own work on your bike or even just want to do basic maintenance then this manual is invaluable.

I objectively +/- agree the the positive comments posted here, but warn owners of newer models that this manual does not provide the correct information for newer bikes. I own a 2002 GS500 manufactured in August of 2001, and this manual does not give the proper diagrams or procedures for a number of areas such as proper removal of the bodywork, carburetor overhaul, and some aspects of the electrics (the things that require a bit of detail to do properly). Again, it's a good manual if you own a bike that it covers, but my bike is evidence that its claim to support GS500's through the 2002 model year is not quite correct.

It's a simple really good tool made for people that does not know to much about mechanics and that's the best thing it has!!!, ofcourse for mechanics like me it's a complete guide to explore this incredible machine!!!

This was an excellent purchase, the book had exactly what I needed. Clear instructions with pictures for everyday maintenance of your bike. I used it to get an old bike up and running again after sitting for more than 15 years, very helpful. Highly recommended.

As a non-mechanic, I found this book to be easy to follow. The great illustrations and photos makes motorcycle repair and maintenance to be a breeze!

Un manual de reparación muy completo que te lleva paso a paso en cada capítulo. Explica ampliamente los procedimientos y reparación de la motocicleta.

In the short time I've had the manual it has saved me quite a few £££s by allowing me to undertake simple tasks that I didn't previously know how to. Even a simple thing like changing bulbs on the instrument cluster became an easy task.

This is a great manual for the owner of a Suzuki GS 500 model motorcycle. It's straightforward and it teaches you how to easily maintain your bike. This surely suffices to replace the original bike manual.

I didn't know much about motorcycles before seeking to repair mine and I learned a lot from this manual. I would suggest that you familiarize yourself with motorcycle parts before your initial reading as there were many terms I didn't know. I have a dirty carburetor and cannot afford repairs. The easy to read directions in this manual will help you save money from the thieves in the repair shops.

This book is packed with information but light on the insight I need as a first-time motorcycle owner. So far, I'm not able to find as many answers in this book that I thought I would. Since I don't have the original owner's manual, it is a great reference tool and I'm sure it'll come in handy as I become more familiar with the book and the bike.

I was hoping for more tips, hints, short-cuts and recommended upgrades. If your looking for a dry textbook manual on the early GS500's and you're experienced with motorcycles, this is a must have as a replacement for the owner's manual.

The Manual is very good and covers all the pionts an owner needs .The pictures are clear and show the parts you are working on ,In the absence of a proper workshop manual this is the best alteranative much better than the Haynes C.Bell
