Suzuki GS 700 ES - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

It takes a special wrench. You may have to order it from a dealer or specialty tool dealer.

do not understand question, please give more info, "share stater" ???

Check fuses.

The cable needs to be adjusted to 1/16 inch of freeplay. If it is not engaging, the cable may be too tight. Should be able to adjust it at the lever.

Is it getting gas properly? Has it been sitting around for a while? The carburators on motorcycles need to cleaned after sitting around. The jet could be full of varnish. Are you getting spark for sure? Pull out a spark plug and put it in the wire, crank it over and see if the spark plug sparks. When you pulled the plug was it wet at all with gas? Then it probably isn't getting gas right. Just some of the things you could try.

Hi JIMremove the carbs and clean main jets slow running jets NB there is a small pin hole in fuel bowl under carbs use cleaner blow that hole that what operates the choke , so activate the choke and spray through till free from blockage and assemble .that,s it.Raymond

It depends on the bike but most bikes have oil in the stator housing that is "flung" from the crankcase

Spark plug gap is something that people will have different opinions, set them as per the manual. If you are buying new ones, they should be set as per the manufacturers specification and should not need adjustment. Never bang the plug against something to change the gap, adjust with some sort of lever. Plugs tend to fracture when hit hard enough and you might never know until it doesn't work.

approx 3.5 quarts with the filter.

If none of you turn signals are functioning I would first check the fuse and if thats fine check the blinker module.

Welcome to Fixya

If you remove any adjusting screws or jets, write down the number of turns it takes for removal and than put each one back the same number of turns. Before removing the carbs, drain them (assuming there is anything in them). Get a spray can of Berrymans carb cleaner (or another brand), and fill the float bowls full of cleaner by disconnecting the fuel lines and spraying into each fuel line until the level in the line is reaching the top of the float bowl. Wait for a couple of days while the cleaner softens the dried varnish residue in the carbs. Now remove the carbs as a set then dis-assemble and clean with a couple more cans of cleaner.



Below is a diagram of your carb. The same diagram with the entire carb assembly AND your entire bike can be found at Babbitt's. Go to the site below where you can see a parts diagram for your specific bike. You will select the actual brand, year, model, etc., once you go to the site. Part numbers and prices are also shown. You can order parts from this site. In the event no price is shown on a particular part, the part is not in stock. www.babbittsonline.com/pages/parts/viewbybrandand/parts.aspx

The idler jet in your carby needs cleaning/replacing, very common in motorbikes.

I'm pretty sure your Suzuki has running lights on the front...in other words the bulbs are dual filament for the front, with a dimmer running filament and a brighter turn signal filament, and the back are just single filament turn signals.
If you look in the parts list there is one part number for front bulbs, another for rear.

The damping oil seals (dust seals) may just be worn and require replacement. If this is the case then £10-£15 for a pair and 2hours work (or £30-£40 for labour and parts if done by a mechanic).

Doubtful. The engine size is different.

you must have a resistans for the relay othervise its like this, there is a easy way just to get a adapter on the cables , badlander has one for harley , there is other makes also, check on a bike shop .

If no one else answers this for you, you can obtain repair manuls on line. have you contacted a dealer for this information? Sometime they will help you, especially if you are buying parts from them. Basic info is that chains have master links in them, look for this and take the clips off the master link and the chain will come apart. I hope this helps somewhat.
