Title: no longer for sale
Post by: dafatrman on July 06, 2009, 07:11:47 PM
~38,000 miles. It has just this weekend recieved the following new parts: chain, front and rear sprockets, front and rear tires, rear brake pads, rear brake caliper hardware, fuel lines and filter, gas cap, intake manifolds and seals, airbox tubes, air filter, exhaust gaskets and bolts, battery, headlight hardware, drive chain tensioner, clutch lever assembly, grips and throttle pipe, and almost all of the hardware that mounts the gas tank and side covers to the frame. I replaced the following with EXCELLENT condition used parts (except for the fuel tank): fuel tank with dents in the left side and back but with NO RUST, fuel valve from an '04, swingarm and sprocket hub w/bushings from an '07, front wheel and brake rotor, and a seat. The rear brake rotor has less than 1,000 miles on it, and the brakes were bled this weekend also. This bike will need a valve adjustment and carburetor syncronization, and the front brake master cylinder will need the bolts drilled out and replaced. It has a Vance & Hines aftermarket exhaust.  It has a Texas bonded title. The price is FIRM. Over $2000 invested! I will add pictures and try to get a video on youtube.com later. I like this little thing, but I am 5'11" and weigh ~315lbs., and have a lower back pain that just WON'T GO AWAY, so I am trying to recouperate some cash to start repairing an old, big Honda I have. I have to ride one of them all the way to Florida when I move, and I would rather it not be the Suzuki. Thanks for looking!

I do.  He is thinking about bying mine since it is hard for me to ride it.  I need a bigger bike.  I just hurt too bad to ride a gs anymore.

yeah.....  I thought I would be stuck with it.  I have much more in it than it is worth.  This is the third time I have tried to sell this thing.  I guess I will rebuild the engine and forks and just try to hang on to it.
