Suzuki / Re: RM400T frame crack?

« on: June 25, 2021, 07:45:50 pm »

One of my PEs cracked in a similar position. I had it re-welded with a gusset added.

And I  agree with other responders, I  don't like powder coating (in general), because it's difficult doing running repairs.

I use imgur.

Same process as Photobucket, but they don't hold your photos to ransom. They want you to pay/ subscribe, but you can still use for free.

Always start with your local Suzuki dealer, it's surprising what is still available all-stock!

Can anyone ID this carb?

And is it worth anything (to anyone)?

No visible markings other then "Minuni Corporation" on one side and "Japan" on the other.

Cheers.

Thanks James,

What you have said is sorta/kinda what I thought.

Perhaps "the Bird" foundry manufactured for a number of bike brands, so they used a generic logo.  Mick Hone suggested the same thing.  As I said, the brake shoes are stamped Suzuki, so at this stage I'm gonna say it's a DR 250 wheel, and it's up for sale!

For the last few days ive been trying to recall where the hell Id seen that pigeon foundry mark previously as its familiar but its not coming to me at all.
The Japs have a long history with metallurgy and about every prefecture has its own foundry.
Mostly I stick with Suzuki but there have been a few oddballs like bridgestone. That Logo has me stuffed but I have seen it before.
 What did it come with?

The wheel was mounted to a DR200, but it's not an original wheel.

The brake shoes are stamped Suzuki, but they are of ASK production, and their part number points to TS400 brakes (from what I've found)

I've got Mick Hone on the case t ok, but at this stage, he's stumped too!

Thanks for your input.

Tech Talk / Wheel Identification

« on: October 29, 2018, 01:00:23 pm »

Can anyone shed some light on this logo?



I'm trying to identify a wheel that was mounted to a doner bike I acquired.

This logo appears on the brake drum, along with the numbers 764

It appears on the hub, along with the numbers 773

And it appears on the brake plate along with the numbers 765

The rim is Gold and is stamped Takasago J 17 x 2.15 DOT 171 Japan 982

I just want to know so I can advertise the wheel for sale, with some confidence that I know what it came off!

If it's of any use to anyone, please feel free to PM me.

Wanted / Suzuki DR 200 Bits

« on: October 27, 2018, 07:21:10 pm »

Looking for an assortment of DR 200 parts (1986 - 1995).

In particular, headlight, tail light, speedo/dash and bash plate.

May be other parts too, but I'll know when I get further into the build.

Thanks in advance.
