How much would it cost to get a new cylinder barrel 4 a NSR250 MC16 1987

my battery keeps crapping itself..like, it'll go great for a while, but it'll wear down and then die completely. i'm currently running my brother's chopper battery in it and he wants it back..
i've been told perhaps i'm running the wrong ampere/hour (old battery was 10amp/hr and current one is 7 amp/hr) but what i know about electronics is smaller than an ant shit..
anyone else experience this problem? i have spoken to a few that say it's just what TLs do..any ideas of how to remedy ...

Finally got some work done on the Suzuki!

Since the front forks were crooked, we took them off. One has to go to the shop for fixing, the other we are going to fix ourselves.



The front cover on the fork was badly cracked, so we started to repair the plastic. Obviously we still need to sand it and then paint it. So far the shape looks great.

I have a new addition to my family! We purchased a Suzuki Bandit 400 in Germany with the intention of fixing her up and selling her... but as soon as I saw her I fell in love and decided to keep her for myself!

It was quite an adventure going to Germany this time around. We passed through a huge wind storm. At one point we had to pull over the car for it was no longer safe to drive! After the storm passed (about 5 minutes) we continued our journey with fallen trees in the middle ...

NM came over this afternoon and we dismantled the front end.

Everything came apart OKish and there were only a couple of things that ended up burred due to age and corrosion.

The fork seals were indescribable. Even the circlips were corroded and the fork "oil" was a light grey coloured mud. There was also significantly more than 150mls per fork leg too, more like 400mls per fork leg. The dust seals had turned to concrete as well and looked like someone had tried to

I've taken the fairing, tank, and front guard off in preparation for painting. The condition of the plastic and rubbers tends to support the mileage, but it looks like it has been stored near the sea at some point. I'm going to rip the front subframe off tomorrow and send that off for powder coating, as well as the fork brace and the bracket that holds the front centre of the fairing together.

I'll need to do brake lines as the banjos are knackered (the new lines will have stainless
