KM's are on the high side, but it seems to have had a new motor at some stage as mechanically it is mint.
it needs fixed:

Both tyres need to be replaced

Includes an AGV full face helmet and cordura jacket.

fcuk it I'm probably gonna end up fixing it a bit at a time, it's still for sale tho, it's just the price may increase a little as I fix things, if anyone can supply any parts for cheap I'd be really keen, cheers!

[motorbyclist]

dude i'd take it back to the seller


the cable has just been routed badly through the frame, and whenever you turn the bars it's pulling the cable. re-route it so there's no sharp bends and it's got plenty of slack around the forks.


and never buy a bike unseen (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showpost.php?p=1697325&postcount=37)- take a friend who knows what they're looking at and save yourself the headache

good luck with the sale/project

Might of been keen but you are really in the wrong part of the country to make it worth while.

I do have a few parts in the shed from an 88 model. Post up what parts you would be looking for, I might be able to help.

[motorbyclist]

some photos wouldn't hurt... good on ya for explaining all the problems though

cheers, I'll have a look on Monday what I need, it's still down at the mechanics

[gamgee]

pics from the auction don't really show much damage
I know I need a sprocket cover so if anyone has one that'd be appreciated!

[gamgee]

I've fixed the indicators, flasher was broken, bulb was blown and had broken wires in two places, took a couple of hours.

[Pumba]

Photos as I said via PM

[gamgee]

I'm over this project, I just don't really have the energy, I've fixed a few things
the indicators are now working
the number plate light is now working
and the accelerator has been sorted out, it was routed badly

if someone wants to buy it for $1500 they can have it

otherwise if someone can help me get the switch cluster which has the horn button on it, because my horn button is stuffed
also need the switch for the handbrake which turns the rear stop light on as my bike seems to be missing both the switch and wiring

any help would be appreciated

cheers guys

[gamgee]

has anyone got a handbrake switch for this bike? it's the one that turns the stop light on when the handbrake is used

[motorbyclist]

they only cost a few dollars - buy one


it'll likely be common with most the suzukis from that era

nope, $62
Suzuki didn't have an aftermarket one had to go genuine, and they aint cheap, so I want to try and get a second hand one first

[motorbyclist]

are we talking about the same part? the little plastic switch that mounts in/on the lever mount (which in this case is the master cylinder and reservior in one piece innit?)... the honda ones are a few bucks new....

see if mt eden still has my old gsxr250... traded it in a few years back but i've seen it a few times since, as it was only good for parts after the spline shearedd off the front sprocket shaft...

[gamgee]

I tried an aftermarket one, that didn't fit, took this photo in and they said it was a really weird switch and I'd have to get a genuine one

[Pumba]

Hey mate some photos for you.

Took the brake lever swithch off my bike (i dont need it) but I have hot a feeling I am missing some electircs somewhere. I may still have them but the shed needs a good clean.

[gamgee]

awesome that looks like what I need, I don't need the clipon, but the switchset and the handbrake switch look right, would you please be able to get a clearer photo of the switch for me so I can make sure, and does it still work properly? should click in and out smoothly
I also need a sprocket cover but I'll get a photo of that hopefully tomorrow
cheers!!

[Pumba]

Ok so that is the switch block with the light switch on it then. :done:

So you just need the other switck block not the throttle? or nothing at all

Just went and had rummage around in the shed, this is the best photo I could get, not sure if its all there or if works but you are welcome to have it, I dont need it.

What do you mean by sprocket cover?? you still talking about the chain gaurd or the engine cover that goes over the front sprocket cause I think I have got both of those in the shed

[gamgee]

I've done some pretty major repairs in the last couple of weeks, fixed some broken things, nearly finished repairing fairings and painting, price has been raised to $2000 to reflect this

[gamgee]

ok it's been a few months since I got this bike, I'm nearly finished the mamoth task of restoring it, it had so, so much more wrong with it than I originally thought, but I've replaced just about every part of this bike, only thing left now is to put the new exhaust on and then put some shiny new rubber on it
it's cost me a fortune, but it's been a bit of fun fixing it all up and knowing that it'll be a reliable bike
but it's gotta go as I need the coin to go overseas,
price is $3500 and bike should be ready to go in a couple of weeks
is anyone interested

[gamgee]

I'm flexible on the price if you want to buy it and put the money down
then I could get the tyres a bit sooner and put a wof on it

[gamgee]

price dropped to $3000ono
can ship it nationwide if you want to pay

[hayd3n]

well good luck with the fixing

[gamgee]

the fixing is pretty much all done, it'll be sold with a fresh WOF and rego
