Well the report card is in from Oldfart and it is a mixed bag at the moment. Might need some help getting bits for this one.....The preliminary survey reveals....(with my notes added)

Requires     air box  complete (anyone got one for sale???)
                rear brake stay arm (anyone got one for sale???)
                Rear Rhs axle support adjuster thru swing arm (anyone got one for sale???)
                frame to engine bolts all missing  (except rear  swingarm bolt) (where do I get these from???)
                front brake cable (ebay easy - i think)
                throttle cable      (only ) (ebay easy - i think)
                kick starter (anyone got one for sale??? - are they the same for a few models??)
                exhaust flange needs a bit of a tidy up   ( bolts loose ) (no probs)
                Exspansion chamber - front  a bit of heat and air  rest is OK(hmmmmmm)
                Dampening in rear shock    =  Nil (help   :-\   - might be a tough one!!!)
                Front forks  chrome is ok  ...a few spots up high at clamps (no probs)
                seat needs a new cover   (easy)
                plastics (I'm think they are gettable)

Bad news   require a selector gear selector shaft as welded on    Huh  (WHY DO PEOPLE DO THIS!!!!???  >:(      - anything out there to help here???)
             
Good news  The motor turns over and has  good compression  Smiley   - Yippeee!!
                 Gear box selects all gears Smiley      - More Yippeeee

I'm still unsure of the year/model....I'm assuming 1983 125D at the moment?????    ???

The journey begins!!!!    ;)

1) Might be able to help
2)Get some 20 X 4 ali flat bar and drill some holes
3)I'll look
4)Bolt shop
5)Get part number and try a dealer
6) Kart Shop get a Teflon lined  $10 for a Rotax Max(none better)
7)I'll look again may well be the same as previous/ future models again check part numbers on Alpha Sports
8)Talk to Walter at YSS about the shock
9) Plastics and seat covers/foam go to Les at Mainly Maico as he gets all the Vintage Suzuki stuff
For the selector shaft again get the part number it may still be available or be used on other models

Hey waddya know...it's a 1983 D model.......oh yeh baby!!!     ;D



So far looks like..

Side covers...81,82,83,84 all same
Kicker 81,82,83 same
Selector shaft 82,83 and maybe 84 same
Dunno on the airbox..suspect it would be unique

HI Greg,
Pretty close.

The '84 [and 85] is a different bike to the 81-83 so the side covers and airbox are very different.

Can't say about the selector shaft, that may well be common, probably through to 86 or 87. The engine was basically the same, they just changed from Reed Valves to crankcase reeds [and back again], but the layout of the engines were very similar. Doc has a copy of the Suzuki parts interchangability listing so he could help. Or as suggested log onto Bike Bandit and compare the part numbers for the various years..

The airboxes were the same on the 81-83 models. They are hard find in good condition. Good luck.

Don't forget Suzuki Parts in SA - they have a large range of parts and I have found them very helpful.

Ok thanks for that! I was just going on the Alpha Sports numbers and the Vintage Suzuki stuff. Bike Bandit use their own part numbers so soemtimes I find it hard to tell.  :P

Yeh I imagine I will need to be patient for an airbox.... :(

Hey wow yeh...maybe some self assembly too??? Hmmm maybe not...   ::)

As noted above, looks like the 81-83 bikes had a lot in common. Looks like US ebay will have some stuff but if there is anything local please let me know.

Thanks for all the assistance..this is just great!!    :)
