TS18513989

Clear

UPDATE: I just now added a video (below). This bike came out of Michigan, where it had sat quietly protected in a garage since 1989, after the top end and crank bearings galled due to lack of 2-stroke oil. Fast forward to this year, the engine received a full restoration. New parts included a reconditioned crank/bearings, crank seals, cylinder bored to fit new Wiseco piston/rings and wristpin, etc. Oil system was completely and meticulously cleaned, including the oil injection pump. Additional new items include: battery, headlight, air filter, petcock seals, fork seals & fork oil. Carburetor was hydrosonically cleaned and works flawlessly. Tires are in great shape. It starts easily, shifts great through all the gears. Auto-lube system pumps well. You will notice in the video below a bit of smoke in the exhaust. I am running 32:1 premix in addition to the oil pump to help the fresh top end components to seat in. Everything was brought up to original specs, everything works, Bike starts easily and runs great, just like it did 42 years ago. The gas tank is amazingly clean, and yes those are the original Suzuki mirrors. Original owner drove the bike to work, so it has all the needed goodies in that regard. There is a slight dent on the left side of the fuel tank, not noticeable unless you are up close. Light scratch on the plastic front fender. I installed a brass/aluminum odometer reset button, as the original plastic one was missing. Works good. The bike is priced in line with its excellent condition. Ride it in the trails, commute to work, or place it in your personal museum. This bike tends to draw attention! I was tempted to keep this as another source of work transportation, but instead it is here for you. It is a blast to ride, as it is amazingly nimble and light. Clear title. This bike is located in northern Indiana. If you would like to inspect this bike personally, you may contact me to set up a time to view it and hear it run. 574-354-8455For long-distance viewers, I have shipped rare motorcycles internationally in the past with no problems.
