Tires will be potentally hard if they have been siting for awhile so might pay to check them as well

The IRC's they came with were really hard anyway.........

Anyhow, good luck with the project.
My advise would be to find where they hid the weight and remove it.

Apparently when the bike was designed it was a lightweight nimble little beast.
Then they released it, and some genius decided to stop it getting blown all over the road they should make it weigh 185kg!
This meant the little 23 hp motor (might be slightly more) really had a hard time pushing it along....

Great little bikes, I bought the other half one when they were brand new.
It meant she could jump straight on my CBR and find it wasn't too heavy.... just that she had to get used to 4 times the power!!
To be fair there would be no way she would ever rev my 600 anywhere near 10000 rpm in first anyway....

We did the Brass Monkey with it, and rode it all over the place.
Sold it due to changing circumstances.

Thanks very much Quick, nice reply, Appearently these bikes were made in China, NOT Japan. We found this out when the guys we were talking to about parts went to look for parts (non-Suzuki parts).


well the Bike looks like this, so I dont know where they would hide weight, we have not found any

I think the muffler alone would be 10kg.... I know the original can for my Ninja is a solid beast that I stub my toe on if I leave it laying in the wrong place in the shed.
Look at the handle bars too, they will be a couple as well... and the luggage rails.

Yes, China would be right. Many of the smaller bikes are... or other countries.
Nothing really wrong with that, they build so many, and actually know how to build smaller bikes that last in some terrible conditions.

Anyhow, looks like a great little project.

cool reply and thank you, we will look at this, as far as the part of your reply above, funny thing is it was not intended to be a project, we were going to just make sure it was safe and change fluids lol

but once my wife sinks her teeth into something like this, I have found its best let her at it and not fight it lol

so I am the video blogger and helper lol lol

I will definitely look at those parts mate, thank you!

tomorrow is surface rust day.

I know nothing is really intended to be a project... but once you start digging ....
And never fight the wife when she is on a mission

Yup, there will be more places to loose weight on the bike too... Just can't remember where now, it had been a few years (like 9!)

[ducatilover]

Weight?

It's a 30 something year old engine and I'm pretty certain ti's a twin spar steel chassis? It's just half a GS500e with a pretty frock. So, slam GS motor in, have a frock that goes well!

It's surprising how quickly the weight adds up, my ZZR/ZX was a claimed 195 or 198, it's been weighed at 175ish dry now cheaper than chasing power
