Oh thanks for that, I'll probably just buy some original blinkers for it, keep it simple.

My problem is I don't know too much about bikes at the moment aha, not enough to tune it myself but I'm gonna have to learn

All the lights work, except the rear indicators, guy who owned it before me was a heavy set... cut through the wires under the guard. The lights I got are 12v LED'sthough, will they still work?

I just replaced the exhaust gaskets and there's oil dripping from there but other than that it seems to do alright, won't idle for long, won't start with choke on, but will when it's off for a few seconds. Blows a bunch of smoke.

I should probably tune it myself if that'll be cheaper and you're right, gotta learn some day. Plug was pretty black and I tried to wipe it down, didn't come much cleaner so I'll go pick one of those up tomorrow.

Most definitely picking up a Haynes.

I do have a question about the VIN however. It has a compliance plate, but no 17 digit VIN number, only some 12 digit number that comes on the front of the frame.

Hey guys, how we all doing?

I've got my hands on a '82 TS 185, and I put a new piston, rings, top end gaskets, but as it's my first build ever I'd like to take it in for a tune up + see what it else needs to get it roadworthy, figured that would be a good start for a build.

Anyone have any recommendations for the Sunshine Coast area?

Any helps appreciated, cheers

« on: April 30, 2016, 09:37:41 am »

Hey guys, I've just picked up an old 1982 TS 185 as a project
I'm having trouble identifying what model and type it is, I've had a number of people check (PPSR, Suzuki dealers, parts websites, nothing came up) and was told it could even be an import?
Would anyone be so kind as to tell me what I actually have?
Please and thank you
Serial: TS1852-132060
Engine: TS1852-87397

Hey fellas, Packie here from the Sunny Coast, QLD
Haven't been riding bikes long since but just picked up my first bike; a nice old '82 TS 185, and I'm hoping to build it up to get back on the roads and trails.
