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!

Suzuki Reports Q3 2013-2014 Sales Results

Fri, 07 Feb 2014

Suzuki reported a 13.1% decrease in motorcycle sales volume over the first three quarters of its 2013-2014 fiscal year, but still managed a 17.8% increase in net sales from its motorcycle division. That may seem like a paradox, but the results can be explained by a more favorable exchange rate for the Japanese yen and by looking closer at where those sales decreases took place. The yen has turned around significantly over the last year and a half, vastly improving how foreign sales affect Suzuki’s bottom line.

Goodbye RM85 Suzuki

Tue, 10 May 2011

An old friend dropped in this weekend, on his way back from an arse-killing 4,500 mile ride to Estoril and back to watch the MotoGP race. He has only ever ridden Harley chops and old stuff with the exception of his vague nod at practicality and modernity - an ancient, very, very high mileage R1100GS BMW. I made him a brew and some pasta arrabiatta then made him ride my 2011 Fireblade.
