Suzuki Other description

Vintage gem for sale. Rare 1983 Suzuki GR650 Tempter in great condition. Fully serviced, new fluids, all new filters and new tires. Needs nothing. Ride it home today. 

The bike comes with two keys, clean title, motorcycle cover, tool kit, spare oil filter and a copy of the Suzuki service manual.  

This is the premium D model with two tone paint, cast wheels and adjustable air forks. The bike has only 7700 miles. Unmolested. All stock. It is a 650cc twin with dual dome combustion chambers, direct air injection, monoshock rear suspension and trick dual stage clutched flywheel for low speed forgiveness and high speed performance. It really was quite a package of moto technology for 1983 and for a 650cc, it is very light with reasonable seat height. Everything is in spec and works properly- including all lights, gear indicator and fuel gauge.

I rescued this bike from where it sat in garage storage for some time. I have spent many hours inspecting everything in detail and completing all maintenance to ensure absolutely everything is in factory spec, reliable and safe. The following was completed over the last week:

New tires have been installed and balanced with new valve stems. The entire fuel system has been flushed, new fuel lines, fuel filter and completely cleaned rebuilt, synchronized and tuned carburetors. New reusable oiled foam Uni air filter upgrade within the stock air box plenum system designed specifically for this bike.

The lubrication system was flushed, new synthetic Castrol oil and K&N oil filter installed. New AGM sealed battery is installed and the charging system works flawlessly. The cam and valve specs were checked. Electronic ignition, timing and ignition advance is perfect and new spark plugs installed. There is not even a hint of an oil leak, not a drop. The clutch is in perfect adjustment. The front brake system was flushed and filled with new brake fluid and the pads still look new. The rear brake is in adjustment and not even close to the limit indicator. The chain is of course clean, adjusted and lubricated. Sprockets still look new. All cables have been lubricated and adjusted. It's in great condition for a 33 year old bike but there are a few paint scratches, there are dings in front fender and chrome is not 100% perfect. The seat is very nice. The bike is light, nimble and quick with very comfortable ergonomics. It's safe and reliable, I would ride it anywhere.

R&G announce cheaper engine case cover kits

Tue, 06 Sep 2011

R&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.

2020 Suzuki V-Strom 1050XT Review – First Ride

Tue, 04 Feb 2020

ADV for Everyman, now with more power and cruise control Credit: Photos by Suzuki and John Burns How can any red-blooded American not love Suzuki, the blue-collar working motorcycle so many of us thrashed as youths, left parked in alleys with no loss of sleep, covered in fur for a brief period there in the (I think) ’90s… In spite of all the abuse we dished out, Suzuki’s loyalty was never in question. 2020 Suzuki V-Strom 1050XT Editor Score: 88% Engine 18.0/20 Suspension/Handling 13.0/15 Transmission/Clutch 9.0/10 Brakes 8.5/10 Instruments/Controls 4.0/5 Ergonomics/Comfort 9.5/10 Appearance/Quality 8.5/10 Desirability 8.5/10 Value 9.0/10 Overall Score 88/100 2020 Suzuki V-Strom 1050 First Look Of all the GSX-Rs, GSX-Fs, SVs, RMs and TLs that have graced the editorial garage, I think the big V-Strom has emerged as my favorite, even if it wasn’t clear what role the first DL1000 was supposed to play in 2002? Back then, it was all about the GSX-R.

Suzuki Reports Q2 2012-2013 Results

Fri, 09 Nov 2012

Suzuki made headlines earlier this week when its American subsidiary filed for Chapter 11 and announced it is quitting the automobile business to focus on motorcycles and its marine operations. American Suzuki‘s car business has been struggling for a while and it remains to be seen how these developments will affect its motorcycle business. Today, Suzuki released its report for the first half of its 2012-2013 fiscal year, providing much needed context to the earlier news.
