Suzuki GS description

1979 GS 750 in very good condition for it's age.  I bought this bike the beginning of this year with the intent on making a cafe racer out of it.  I rode it a handful of times and then parked it on the rack and it sat there until last week.  


I've done very little to it.  It ran great last week after installing the Dyna ignition but is really fouling the plugs from running too rich.  I tried to lean out the carbs and now cannot get it started.

The guy I bought it from told me he did a lot of work on the carbs to get the bike running correctly.   I don't have any information on what jets etc are in the carb.  Bike appears to be complete

minus the stock airbox.  It has pod air cleaners.  They are off in the auction photos because I was trying to adjust the carbs yesterday.  



I have a clear VA title in my name.  I will also supply a VA bill of sale.


The good

Engine - stock as far as I can tell.  24,XXX miles.

Battery - new in June

Electrics - Horn, headlight, turn signals, brake light, fuel gauge, dash lights all work.  

Front brake - works good but squeaks

Tires - back one is new, front has good tread left

Paint - nice silver and burgundy paint

Ignition - Dyna S ignition, new wires and coils installed Sep '13

Gas tank - good interior condition from what I can see, doesn't leak




The not as good

Rear brake - sticking, needs attention

Engine - little oil seepage in places.  I have no history on if it's been rebuilt.

Carbs - adjusted way too rich.  fouling plugs.  need attention.

Brake lever - handlebar brake lever switch doesn't activate brake light.  foot pedal switch is working.


Only selling because I have too many projects and will never get to making a cafe out of it.  NO WARRANTY OR REFUND.

Paypal or Cash

Local pickup only, I cannot deliver

Good Luck

Schwantz and Mackenzie on the Nurburgring box

Mon, 10 Dec 2012

A 500GP bike never fails to stop me in my tracks and that’s exactly what happened when I spotted this Schwantz example from the early nineties, proudly displayed on the Arai stand at the recent Motorcyclelive show.  On loan from Crescent Suzuki and accompanied by a rostrum publicity shot from the 1990 German GP at the Nurburgring, I felt the urge to write a few words on that special weekend. I started the year running my own 250 GP team with fairly standard TZ Yamahas but was drafted in as Kevin Schwantz’s team mate after Kevin Magee suffered a serious head injury at the second Grand Prix in Laguna Seca.  With no testing and some major Spanish food poisoning I finished 8th at the next round in Jerez then followed that up with a 5th place in Misano. Next up was the Nurburgring and after qualifying on the second row of the grid, my crew chief Geoff Crust informed me he had a premonition of a race day rostrum finish. He also told me I better make it come true as he was already looking forward to a few post race celebratory refreshments. While I hoped Crusty was the new mystic meg, the truth was I would have been more than happy to buy the beers if I made it to the flag inside the top five. I had an outside chance of catching one major scalp as Wayne Rainey was riding with a nasty hand injury but I suspected adrenalin would see him through the day. I also followed Mick Doohan a fair bit in practice but he was beginning to find his feet on the Rothmans Honda so was going to be another problem.  When the lights went out Schwantz and Rainey went straight to the front I while I hung in behind Doohan and Pier Francesco Chilli, and then it happened. Coming out of the bottom right hand hairpin, Doohan and Chilli simultaneously high sided in one of the most spectacular crashes of the season. I never liked seeing any fellow riders crash but I made the most of this early race gift and rode my 160bhp/115kg RGV hard to the flag, claiming my first podium of the season.  We partied hard (win or lose we always did) that night and I went on to have my best ever season finishing fourth overall in the championship. After the last round in Australia, I finished second to Kevin at Sugo in Japan then won in Malaysia at another international race that KS didn’t attend. I also tested at Eastern Creek for the following season but then was flicked from the team for reasons that still remain a mystery. Hey Ho!

2013 AMA Superbike Daytona Race Report

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

The story leading up to the opening round of the 2013 AMA Pro National Guard Superbike season was whether anyone would be able to keep up with defending champion Josh Hayes. After all, the Monster Energy Graves Yamaha rider dominated the competition last season winning 16 of 20 races including a string of 10 in a row. The season-opening round at Daytona International Speedway appeared to start on script with Hayes qualifying in pole position.
