About the Suzuki GT500
Restore the engine sealing, forks and front brake on Suzuki’s two-stroke twin.
The Suzuki GT500 is an air-cooled two-stroke twin. For a restoration, separate engine-joint sealing from shaft-seal work, and identify the fork and front brake equipment actually fitted. Those assembly details help turn a general GT500 search into a useful repair order.
Match front brake pads and controls separately
The selected gasket set, fork seals and front brake pads list GT500 1976–1977. The brake lever has a narrower 1977 application. A pad’s year range cannot confirm the lever because the caliper and handlebar control are different assemblies.
Know your model before choosing partsSuzuki GT500 repair checkpoints
Use the complete model, year and fitted assembly. Each product has its own application and package contents.
1976–1977 repair selection
The featured gasket set, fork seals and front pads include both years. Each product still has its own dimensions and package contents.
1977 brake lever
The current lever entry is limited to 1977. The wider front-pad application does not establish lever fitment for 1976.
GT500, T500 and GT750
Use shared model entries only for the specific product that lists them. Neither the related twin name nor the GT family label proves complete interchange.
Identify your model before orderingSuzuki GT500 identification checklist
Use the identification on your machine and the component being repaired.
- Record the GT500 model year and engine identity.
- Identify the front caliper and master cylinder separately before selecting pads or a lever.
- Read the old fork-seal markings and compare the fitted fork if its history is unknown.
