And nope, it's not one of those "needs carbs adjustments" bikes :) All color tuned and synced. Float level is spot on as well. Bikes fires right up and idles smoothly. i put about 100 miles on it and the number goes up video to bike running: https://youtu.be/1_F4r9Ygk1g here a list of what was done, which was pretty much everything. Tires: New Dunlop D404, less than 10 miles Front: Forks, brake, wheels are stock Chopped original fender Custom length steel braided brake hose Custom length speedo cable Upper triple tree off of a FZ600 Headlight of a Puch, closed holes previously used for indicator lights Aftermarket Clipons, 2 inches shortened Aftermarket brake master cylinder, angled Aftermarket shorty levers Aftermarket controls Tank: Tank mounts relocated Suzuki GS550 tank (around 1980?), welded neck area, modified/welded area to attach to frame Inside cleaned out and coated (done by professional) Seat area/frame: Chopped frame, hoop welded on Modified Kawasaki tail fairing Custom made seat Rear: Stock swingarm New Aftermarket shocks Self made license plate holder Cat eye running/brake light After market LED turn signals Other: Minimal wiring, build from scratch New stator New fuse box New starter relay New regulator Lithium battery Rebuilt front brake Relocated horn Aftermarket ignition, relocated Black powder coat Tank and tail in Melon Yellow in-line fuel filter installed Original bike has 22k miles on it Currently still missing side covers that I will custom make soon Tank badges still missing -- haven't found any good custom ones yet Carb rebuild done and set to specs by professional Color tuned and synched Engine is stock, valve clearance done and shims replace, cam chain tensioner reset - all within specs now Engine painted with high temp paint Clutch untouched as it still works well and shift smoothly through all gears All bolts and nuts original, just cleaned and polished Lots of other parts replaced, like wheel bearings, steering bearings, gaskets, cables etc To do: Brake lever doesn't match clutch lever because I had to replace the MC. But it's just the lever, brakes work perfectly. Please note: there is currently no Neutral Gear indicator light installed. It is on my list of things to do, but no priority clean title in hand and under my name inspection done July 2016 comes with service manual that also lists current shims installed i just changed the oil and oil filter again to make sure bike is tip top i removed the petcock to check inner filter for possible dirt: it was all clean relisted because a local deal fell through would trade for a Buell XB |

GSX-R600 and CBR250R the glass is half full
Wed, 13 Oct 2010Suzuki’s GSX-R600 might not look that much different to the outgoing model but I suspect this bike could be very much a dark horse in 2011. I say this because two years ago I was definitely not building my hopes up en route to the K9 GSXR 1000 launch. The leaked pictures suggested the biggest change from the 2007 version would be some fresh graphics but I was so wrong. As it turned out, I was greeted in Almeria with a brand new bike, built from the tarmac up and it proved to be more than a match in every department for the much hyped 2009 Yamaha R1.
Recall for 2009-2011 Yamaha V-Max
Fri, 30 Sep 2011Yamaha is issuing a recall campaign on certain 2009-2011 V-Max power cruisers due to a potential risk of oil pump malfunction. According to documents released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, abnormally high oil pressure can build up within the oil pump of certain Yamaha V-Max models. The high pressure may force the washer on the oil pump shaft against the oil pump housing, causing oil to stop pumping through the engine.
