Up for auction is my 1971 Suzuki T500. The bike is runs great, rides and stops like it should. I've done some mild customization to the bike. I've also replaced a number of parts since I have owned the bike. It has new: -brake pads front and rear -battery -tires/tubes. -air Filter -rubber carb intake boots -rubber boot from airbox to carbs -floats and jets. Carbs were cleaned completely and rebuilt this year. - fiberglass seat -clubman bars. -tank sealed with red kote -The bike is 43 years old but has very little rust. The petcock works but still lets some gas through when shut off. I fitted inline shut off valves to prevent fuel leakage. It holds oil very well. There is an occasional drip when sitting but nothing unusual. When I purchased the bike the oil drain hole had been stripped so I fitted an oversized plug with piggyback drain and it is good to go. It needs a left sided headlight bolt and the pin that holds the front of the gas cap. I have it zip tied and it works fine for now. The paint at the base of the tank where the fuel tank meets the seat is worn. There is a minute seepage of gas through the tank at this section that peeled the paint. I sealed the tank with redkote to combat this but it still seems to get a tiny bit of moisture here. The leak is so slow It doesn't really bother me but I want to be transparent about the bike. The inside of the tank was very clean when I sealed it. . These items in no way affect the rideability of the motorcycle. The bike fires right up I have included 2 running videos of the bike for your pleasure. I put 600 miles on it last season without any mechanical isues arising. It's a blast to ride, looks the part and smells like a 70s 2 stroke. Doesn't get much better than that. Feel free to ask me any question/ request pics. Happy bidding.
