Vehicle Detail
Please see all photos and read description carefully. NO RESERVE This motorcycle has a clear Florida title and currently registered to my name.The motorcycle was originally a 1982 Suzuki GS650L. When I purchased the bike it would not run but had compression :). I had a lot of fun with this bike - I completely tore it apart apart, frame painted, front fender cut a bit, seat pan and cushion custom made (fiberglass). New front fork seals and lowered 2"New air rear shocks. Most photos show original shocks (silver) these were no good and I replaced with black air shocks shown in one photo.New bearings where needed including triple treeNew carburetor to intake bootsFront and rear calipers rebuiltCarburetors jetted with Dynojet Stage 3 to accommodate the air podsNew coils ACCEL Super Coil KitDyna III Electronic IgnitionNew Rectifier RegulatorNew piston rings, valve clearance at spec.New Speedometer and tachometer from Dime City Cycles Transmission was replaced, shifts great through all gearsStock exhaust, only drilled the holes surrounding the output port.Tires are fairly new - they came with the bike when I purchased it and have not dry rot, etc. Plenty of thread left on them.New handlebar, grips, levers and controls, new turn signals.Not shown in photos but included: Clymer repair manualBike runs smooth, revs fast, idles perfect. I benched synced the carbs but I suggest you get the bike to a shop to get them properly synchronized. I don't have a motorcycle synchronize tool. To be honest, I am unsure about the actual mileage. The entire engine was open and other than small wear on transmission (replaced), all is to specs. The new speedometer shows a few hundred miles.I am selling the bike because I purchased it to rebuild it (as a hobby) and am looking to start another bike. I do own another bike I ride for fun on weekends, etc. The Bad....I had tested the bike several times with an auxiliary tank. When I finally installed the tank I did not notice that the left control (Turn Signal / Beam / Horn) hits the tank when turning the handle bar to the left . One of the photos shows a small dent made to the tank where the lever meets the tank.I was unable to find the floater device that goes inside the tank and sends the signal to the fuel gauge. The gauge works as I bench tested but it is not connected to a floating device at this time.I painted the bike and I am no expert. While it came out nice, it could use more clear-coat, polish, etc.Rear pan where battery sits: I had this welded under the frame, with the original shocks (that were shot) the rear tire hit the pan and bent it out of shape. I cut a piece of aluminum and placed it on top of the frame (shown in photos). This is secured with zip-ties, you can make one out of metal and weld it or secure it with screws.Choke: I removed it from the original position on left handle bar and the lever sits on top of the carburetor. To use the choke, you must hold this open since it will slide back to the closed position. Choke works perfect but has this little inconvenience. You only need to hold it open for about 30 seconds to warm up the bike.The wiring under the seat looks crazy but it is all there and works fine. You will notice the +/- terminal that goes to the fuel gauge floater just sitting there.... No float remember? If you have ever worked on any motorcycle you will appreciate the value of all the parts and work that went into this bike. It does not come cheap. While I had a lot of fun rebuilding this bike, I don't expect to get my money back and feel I am selling this at a good value. Ready, fire up and go! Rides beautiful! The vehicle is sold as is where is (zip 33029). No warranty is implied by any means and returns are not accepted. If you are in the general vicinity of 33029 and you want to see the bike, let me know and we will arrange a meeting. Any questions, please feel free to ask. Happy Bidding!
