Suzuki GS description

In the 80’s, I raced with WERA and I rode a Kawasaki GPz750. The Honda Interceptor and Suzuki GS750e were my competition. In October 2012, I wanted a bike from that era. I found this Suzuki. It was in decent shape but I started working on it immediately. In the 70’s and 80’s I was an auto mechanic and I did all my bike work including building the engine. I have done most of the work on this bike. The paint work was done professionally but I took all the body parts to the painter. Following is a list of the things I have done to the bike. I have most all receipts where I ordered parts or had my local shop help me. The list starts from when I bought the bike (mostly). When OEM is indicated, I obtained Original Suzuki Part Numbers. (BikeBandit is a GREAT resource)

1.New X-Ring Chain

2.New OEM front and rear sprocket.

3.New OEM rubber bushings for the rear hub.

4.New OEM clutch and throttle cables.

5.New OEM rubber hand grips and throttle (right side grip).

6.New bar end weights/caps.

7.New OEM turn signals, all 4 and original at $70 each!

8.New OEM mirrors.

9.New OEM fiber and steel clutch plates and springs.

10.New OEM clutch actuator inside front sprocket cover, connects to the cable and pushes the rod to separate the clutch plates.

11.Valve adjustment, OEM cover gasket and new OEM cover bolts (looked better, no rust or wear damage).

12.New EBC organic brake pads front and rear (several times now) and new EBC rear rotor recently.

13.New OEM fuel petcock.

14.New OEM oil lines (2 near carburetors).

15.New OEM air filter and spark plugs.

16.New OEM spark plug cap assemblies to attach to the coil wires.

17.New OEM alternator cover.

18.New stator (for alternator) and rectifier bridge (regulator). It had a new GEL battery when I got it and it still is fine.

19.New OEM speedometer cable. (All the gauges work!)

20.New 4 into 2 Mac chrome exhaust system. I also have a 4 into 1 black Mac exhaust system not on the bike but included.

21.New tires several times now. Current set has about 600 miles on them.

22.Serviced the front forks and they do not leak.

23.I change the oil twice a year.

24.I have replaced fasteners (nuts and bolts) on the bike that did not look original or were damaged/rusted. I also replaced all the rubber grommets and cushions.

25.I was able to find 2 OEM side covers. This is important because the push tabs break on old bikes and the originals were broken. When I found the covers, then I painted the bike (BMW Imola Red, a deep red color and NOT burgundy). There are NO flaws on the paint. If the pictures look like the body has scratches, it is just GLARE.

26.I have removed the carburetors, serviced them and replaced the needle and seat O-Ring (not the valves themselves, they don’t generally wear out). I cleaned the carbs and ensured all the correct factory jetting is installed, float height is correct and adjusted them on the bike.

27.There is a lot of stuff I have done on this bike to make it the way I thought it should be, as close to stock as I can get it. I ride this bike EVERYDAY to work and for pleasure. I have put about 6000 miles on it since the day I bought it (about 1500 miles per year). I love the bike but I am getting older and working on it is getting harder for me. Plus my wife never really liked it because there is no back rest!

2011 Isle of Man TT Recap

Fri, 10 Jun 2011

The Isle of Man TT usually provides a lot of drama, and this year’s event was no different. John McGuinness, second on the all-time TT wins list, added two more wins to his resume to win the Joey Dunlop Trophy while MotoCzysz once again fell just short of taking the bounty for being the first electric motorcycle team to record a 100 mph lap on the Mountain Course. The 2011 Isle of Man TT also had its share of tragedy with three racing fatalities.
