Well, I ditched the ball and chain a few years ago and now finally realised I can get a new chain and sprocket :doobey:

I bought a deregistered do-up so I can enjoy (and swear alot) the process of getting the thing up to standard

It is a battered GSX400F (1983) and it needs TLC. The engine runs ok, the cluch works fine, but there are a few things I need to fix - namely rear brakes, front fork seal, tacho, reserve switch. I think thats the lot apart from new tyres which are a no-brainer.

My dilemma is trying to find a manual for the beast. Anyone out there either have an old manual they dont need anymore and want to pass on or failing that good (read great) sources for parts and advice?

Looks like you got a good little project there (well probably not that little)

Dunno if this offers any info you want, but there is this (http://www.xs4all.nl/~samegens/gsx400f/info.html)

hmmmm... not a lot of info coming up on google. Best bet is to try finding a suzuki owners forum or the like, and somebody else needing the same manual, and getting a link like that (how I got mine)

I got the disk and it has the manual for several models of that generation of Suzuki.
