Suzuki Other description

This is a very nice T500 that Paul Miller, the Suzuki 2 Stroke guru, has rebuilt the motor with new cases (old cases come with the bike), the crankshaft was balanced and new seals, etc. The motor starts right up, gears shift very nice, and the oil injector works great. Repaint on tanks and side cover looks good with clear out over the decals. Front and Back Michelin Tires/Tubes and wheel bearings installed this year. Gas tank is clean inside. Baffles are in exhaust. Starts on one or two kicks even in the winter. Pulls hard and accelerates great. Has some pitting, scratches, and nicks on the paint and chrome, as would be expected on a 45 year old bike.

Here's what I've done to restore the bike to where it is today, 

Front foot peg rubber. Front Forks reconditioned with NOS seals, springs, and gaiters. New front/rear sprockets and chain. New Michelin Pilot Activ Tires. NOS rear brake shoes and new springs in hubs front and rear. NOS rear hub cushions. Connecting rods, big end bearings, and small end bearings, crank shaft bearings and seals all replaced.. Top End done with new pistons, rings, and bearings. New Seat Foam and Cover look and feels great. Carbs rebuilt with new gaskets. NOS throttle, clutch, and brake cables. NOS Air Filter in the original air box, points and condensers. OEM rear rack installed. Rear Fender re-chromed. Blinkers, headlight, horn all work. Tool Kit (minus the universal wrench tool which), Original Owner Manual, Original Service Manual, and two keys. Speedometer Face (not the instrument), the face vibrates a little when the motor is running.

This is an excellent rider quality bike and could be transformed into a show bike with just a little work. 

Please do come by to check out the bike in person. The description and pictures are accurate. The new owner will not be disappointed. Bid with confidence, the bike is turn key, kick it over, go show your friends!

Thanks for bidding. Call me if you have questions 8six53six8six574

Americans reported 46,667 motorcycle thefts in 2011, a 6% decrease from 49,791 stolen motorcycles in 2010, reports the National Insurance Crime Bureau.

2011 Isle of Man TT Recap

Fri, 10 Jun 2011

The Isle of Man TT usually provides a lot of drama, and this year’s event was no different. John McGuinness, second on the all-time TT wins list, added two more wins to his resume to win the Joey Dunlop Trophy while MotoCzysz once again fell just short of taking the bounty for being the first electric motorcycle team to record a 100 mph lap on the Mountain Course. The 2011 Isle of Man TT also had its share of tragedy with three racing fatalities.
