I wonder if the crank seals are still good on that bike? If not, it would not seem that there would be anymore. That was a fine trail bike and, also it was street legal. It would be nice to have it restored as a run about since it had a rack on the back and I am sure that it got goodo mileage.Thruxton71 wrote:Maybe it will also work on the rubber plug gas cap for a suzuki bear cat..
It better. Remember those caps? They just shoved in, no screwing, pardon
the expression.

Pretty sure you can get crank seals for them.. but it is a two stroke, so it is not very PC.. especially with the chamber.....

It may not be PC but it is legal and vintage.Thruxton71 wrote:Pretty sure you can get crank seals for them.. but it is a two stroke, so it is not very PC.. especially with the chamber.....

Small and compact and close to the ground. But, it was robust in spite of having a pressed steel frame made of recycled coke cans. And, it hauled butt in the open desert. To change direction, one simply stood up and lifted the bike onto the correct new line.

I realized we are posting all this in the Mustang Cobra category..
shouldn't we be talking about Suzukis in the Suzuki forum? As for
hauling butt.. that cannot be true, as I was usually riding it around,
and as we all know, I am slow in the dirt. It seemed fast at the
time, till I climbed on your Bandito, or rode Tom's hopped up
Yamaha..

Since this is your first gig as a post whore I will forgive your ignorance. But, unsupervised post whores have no consciences and will hijack and thread that they can. Keeping on topic would be a waste of time. But, you are technically correct about where the post should have been made and the Admin may well admonish you for violation of the board.Thruxton71 wrote:I realized we are posting all this in the Mustang Cobra category..
