Suzuki GS description
Recently (12/15/2015- 8/30/2016) restored 2006 Suzuki GS500F. Restored body work.Rewired. New battery and replaced generator flywheel. replaced with good used fuel cock and tank cock cleaned with new seals and gaskets. Good replacement fuel tank. Good replacement frame. New radial tires. Oil and filter change( oil is clean as new oil ) Valvoline motorcycle 10W40. Painted (high heat black) and wrapped exhaust with new Suzuki gaskets.New aftermarket graphics. seat is good. Replaced damaged Handlebars with new taller (crossbar for stability) more standard riding position for comfort. New fuel lines and filter. Replacement speedometer, cable and light and lube to both
This bike has two cons I am aware of . I dropped in my driveway on the left side and added more scratches to the generator cover and two chips in the paint of the left lower fairing. This motorcycle starts hard and runs cold till warmed up (block or two) when not ridden consistently. In some cases it will pop and die but rarely is this an issue, just rev it and ride it. This is not a professional restoration so fasteners will not be perfect and body work and paint are amateur with pearl flake frost mist and metallic flake blue but it still looks nice. I wanted to add red numbers and light blue, yellow and orange racing decals but my son and wife said no way. By the way this bike was for my 27 year old son and before the restoration was complete( when the generator that someone had glued the weights back in which were loose was really fighting us this looked less than serviceable, would not start or stay running or charge the battery)my advice was to forget this he bought a zrx1200s instead. Now after the fact this bike has no trouble riding with him in sane spirited riding. This bike loves to rev, with its six speed transmission is very quick, stable and immensely fun to ride and is very, very dependable. Loves to be ridden spiritedly. Has not let me down in daily commuting or on those weekend 100-200 mile trips. This motorcycle has passed inspection and is licensed and insured and is being ridden. the motorcycle showed around 14,xxx miles but the speedometer did not function so the cable ,speedometer and light in the speedometer was replaced. the speedometer is missing the knob to reset the trip meter which is available from Suzuki. I cannot say if this trip meter will reset as I have never tried to do this on this unit. |

Suzuki to Close Spanish Motorcycle Factory
Tue, 06 Nov 2012The digital ink is still wet on news of American Suzuki declaring bankruptcy and shutting down its car business to focus on powersports and marine products, and now there’s more bad news for the Japanese manufacturer. Suzuki announced it will close its motorcycle factory in Gijón, Spain, in March, 2013, shutting the company’s sole European production plant. The factory has been producing motorcycles and scooters for Suzuki since 1984, with the manufacturer taking 100% ownership of the factory.

R&G announce cheaper engine case cover kits
Tue, 06 Sep 2011R&G Racing has reacted to the rising cost of official motorcycle parts from manufacturers by creating money saving packages on its Engine Case Covers.As a reaction to the parts price rise, the crash protection leader has created a kit package on its Engine Case Covers (ECC) – offering an overall saving of more than 10% when compared to buying the items individually. The ECCs are designed to protect the engine cases and the inner workings of the motor in the event of a drop by acting as a sturdy ‘second skin’.By simply bolting over the original items, fitting the durable Engine Case Covers doesn’t require draining any engine fluids or replacing gaskets. Extensively developed in the ACU R&G Racing Suzuki GSX-R600 Trophy, as well as being tested and approved by the California Superbike School in the UK and USA, the covers can allow a bike to be ridden after a crash or prevent terminal engine damage from oil leaks or casing punctures.Protection benefits aside, financial savings for riders are evident by looking at official parts prices; to replace only the clutch cover on a Suzuki GSX-R1000K7 would cost £206 including a new gasket, but all three R&G Engine Case Covers for this bike cost only £143.
