Tech Talk / Re: Suzuki ts/tm 250 road racer

« on: August 03, 2018, 04:21:27 pm »

ji107

I purchased a $500 1969 TS250 Suzuki for pre 70's mx racing then decided to convert the bike to that exact purpose of P4 racing for Phillip Island Classic.

I rebuilt the engine, ported cylinder and removed points ignition fitting ts185 unit, fitted TM250 pipe and the bike sounds great

The frame stripped of all unnecessary lugs and moved the original tank mounting back for ducktail an seat, fitted road tyres

I purchased a full fairing /Screen, clip ons and rear sets to mount

Unfortunately the project stalled as I commenced work in NW WA, that was over 2 years ago,,,strewth time gets away

Anyway the TS250 is still sitting there waiting for my return,.....

I have faith the 69 Suzuki will be ok on the track, it may not be the fastest but will look cool anyway with a killer paint job haha

Suzuki / Re: TS400 stator fit TM400???

« on: June 11, 2018, 04:27:50 pm »

Thanks for the info guys.

The reason for the enquiry is that I want to add a TM400 engine (that I have spare for my TM400) and place it into a street bike, (café Style ) and the TS ignition would give me battery and headlight supply and a crazy sounding bike.

Cheers

Suzuki / Re: RV90

« on: April 28, 2017, 07:45:01 am »

Gday Cyclone,

I have a few RV125 and now RV90 bikes that I am rebuilding
A lot of OEM Suzuki parts are still available, just search the part No through Alpha-sports web
The genuine Bridgestone tyres are available from the USA:
https://www.smalltires.com/index.cfm/product/search-by-tire-size
This company would not ship to Aus so I had the tyres re directed through shipping company, cost me around $550 at my door for 2 sets (4 x RV125 tyres and Aussie dollar was a lot better than now)
I have found Skyteam tyres in Aus that look the same pattern as Bridgestone and DOT approved for the road at around 80 each for the RV90. Both front and back tyres should be 6.7 x 10

Picture of my nearly complete RV90 Street fighter...

The other 2 x RV90 will be original

Suzuki / Vintage Suzuki Scooter U70 1966

« on: March 14, 2016, 05:16:15 pm »

Gday all,

I wasn't really in need of another project but at the Maleny swapmeet on the weekend I couldn't resist buying a 1966 Suzuki U70 scooter.

Does anyone know about these bikes, finding parts or have one laying around?? (Doc this will test your knowledge)

The bike is nearly complete with the exception of the leg guards and in need of a front fender and lower chain guard.

As you can see from the pic there was a mountain of dirt and leaves inside the frame and all wiring harness chewed away,,,mice at a guess as to why I could not get any spark, it does have good compression.

Appreciate any assistance

Thanks
Tim
