well the bike is back togeather but still needs some work, trying to get all the induction side if things to fit and seal is tricky, Im also strugling with the oil feed to the turbo, dont want to balls that one up so I might have to give it to a shop for the finel adjustments.
Any one know of a good place to get replica mufflers? on line or in person?

(C'mon guys, whose got a spare 'as-new' XN85 muffler in their gargre??)

Sd, did ya take the hint that it realy needs to go to the Suzuki dealer for finel sorting?

and yeah we need a mufler like the pics below well the 1st 2 pics, the last 2 pics are how it is for now hehehehe

looks like a standard GS muffler, but in black chrome. Staintune *did* have GS series mufflers available at one time, but expensive - I recall I was quoted $3000 for a pair for my GS1100 (including headers).

Try Damon at Cycleworks in Lower Hutt - he's pretty good at making replicas.

Wouldn;t require too much in the way of baffling, as the turbo extracts much of the energy (and along with it the noise) from the exhaust.

Getting there, last w/e I spent some time sealing the induction and exhaust sides of the turbo up, bloody fidily and time consuming then realised the bloody exhaust needs to come off in order to get the front sprocket on... ahh not a biggie.

Now I also sent some 12 volts up its arse and had everything alive, however for the life of me I couldnt get the starter to rotate, bloody hell to get to the starter means everything turbo in all has to come out.

BUT never fear, after chatting with Kyle the turbo nut he reminded me the XN has a bloody safety switch on the clutch leaver 'fark it' so it does whats with bloody Suzuki and their safety precauctions, even back then in 82.
So... hehe after 10yrs the XN turned over, now to change oil, plugs and fresh fuel for the big

Last Sunday meet guy at a Pub here that had just imported a X-85 from the States & it was as new as the day it came off the production line ! was unreal to look at as it was like brand new . He has a 2 RE-5 rotorys one with out any mile on the clock brand new & the second one with around 1,200miles on it plus 2 Z900's , GT750 , GT380 plus afew others which are all like new . Will be getting a ride on the X-85 next time I see him which should be sweet & will get a picture this time as I didn't have a camera with me last time .
