1988 Oil Cooled Short-stroke GSXR750, suzuki's revolutionary bike with a bulletproof motor, TQ cars are still racing round with these in them, they last a lifetime.
I bought her with 62k on her 6 months ago (70k now), the previous owner was a summer only rider with a work-injury, for my purchase he replaced the front tyre which is now nearing the end of its life but is still warrantable, rear was replaced 2k ago so plenty of meat.
I did a blissful 3 week tour of the south island after buying and have done only a few shorter trips since, i found it comfortable to ride (not what i expected), only getting sore knees after 400k stretches
Beautiful bike to ride, but i've decided that maybe we're just not meant to be :bye: so here she is,
70k on the clock and looked after and serviced like only a horny man wishes...
In the last thousand k's i have done a complete service:
oil + filter (Motul, previous owner used Mobil 1 from memory)
new plugs
new Pads (all replaced)
new Fuel lines
new accelerator and clutch cables
new x-ring chain and sprockets (within the last 100)
and a good lubing and torquing of all the cables and bolts i could find
Carbs were serviced when i bought her.
Cosmetically she looks like she has been ridden, but not crashed, so little knicks, small scrapes and a wee bit rough down the bottom where she fell over in the shed :bye:
i was thinking 3900, what do you all think?
Reg'd till march 08 warranted till the 26th of this month.
Will take some better photo's if its a sunny day tomorrow :sunny:
