Evil doings afoot

Also it was only used by Vaughn for 1 season.

OK, this is where I put my hand up and say "I'm a dick, I jumped to the wrong conclusion". Turns out the source of the oil leak was the bung on the end of the crankcase that is used to access the crank to turn the engine by hand. Just a freakish coincidence that this bike has suffered two unrelated major oil loss incidents.
Thanks for all the opinions and expressions of sympathy. I still don't know why this bung came loose, possibly just human error - not tightened adequately. I guess I'll never know.
I hope the bike has had all of the bad luck it's going to have. Bugjuice is the proud new owner and he is promising to restore the bike to it's former glory. I hope he enjoys it as much as I did - only longer.

Buggy, owning a Suzuki?

Glad to hear you are OK

[Motoracer]

BJ, so you'r the one!!

Damn, you beat me to it. I was so close to arranging everything too.. I'm jelouse

Oh well, good to see a mate get a great bargain. Congrats man, best of luck with putting it back together!

[bugjuice]

i actually wasn't going to say much just yet.. i know (probably not the half of it) of how many riders were after this bike!

The reasoning for this bike is just a series of coincidences that just couldn't be ignored. I've nearly finished the current project bike, so I was looking for the next. I've been looking more towards newish thous, and on the night of the day I was starting to seriously look around, this happened.

I plan on restoring it to its former road glory. I'll then be out on the roads, and seeing what I prefer. To be truthful, I can't see myself selling the 636. But then, why can't you have 2 toys..?? lol.. we'll see i guess

Hmmm strange end to what was an interesting looking discussion. A lot of unanswered questions about the history and the vining etc. Suppose it needs to be left here but still a lot of questions were raised. I was about to ask for bike details and see if we could get Zuki NZ to answer a few. A cloud was cast on them or one of their representative companies in respect to the first service. Anyway best left I think, but please do more home work before we send out the clouds and all the grim reapers gather to attack a company or worse an individual.
Bloody sorry you had the off avrflr.

Hey buggy dont supose you need the cash even more now hence really cheep sale of your 'current project'?

[bugjuice]

nice try



I'm gonna have a proper good look over the bike when I get it, and find out as much as I can about its history both on and off the track, and find out what and why things have gone wrong with this bike. For as long as I have it, these issues of oil depletion ain't gonna happen with me on it..

[texmo]

Cant blame a fella for trying, good luck with this man. Will be good to see which one ends up being sold. As nice as it is to have 2 toys, you do have a girl friend

[bugjuice]

I never count my luck - something always ends up falling out of sync then.. I'm just counting the blessings and hoping the high lasts for a while..

[Motoracer]

Hey Buggie, since I am so pissed off about you swiping my future race bike from right under my nose. How about you let me have a go on it, to make it up to me?!

[Firefight]

will meet you later to discuss this serious breach of Fight Club conduct
