    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

2400cc suzuki

Guest
i just came across a very vintage looking suzuki with no title. the engine has 2400cc stamped onto the side and its lookin like i need to rebuild it, but i dont know how to look up parts for it if i dont have the name. any help would be great
thank you
 
Hi - that's how much oil to put in the sump. Just behind the cylinder on the RH side (looking from behind the motor) you should see the engine number.
It'll say something like GS****........ where the **** will be the engine size (may only be 3 stars if it's less than 1000cc).
 
thank you that makes alot more sense ill be checking that and getting back on here as soon as possilbe

2400cc. Thats the same size as the motor in MANY compact cars. 2.4L....It would have to be seriously detuned or im not sure you'd ever get the wheel to hook up. Maybe so. Would be a fun project for sure!! LOL
 
The Trumpy Rocket III is a 2294cc triple, and it seem to go ok ;).
Cheers

And some not so compact cars. That's the size of the engine in my van that we took to get your bike from Lurch. :eek:

Here is another bike that is about 2300cc and seems to go "OK", too. It's another one-off from Allen Millyard, in England. (< click the links for more details.)

Here is some of his other work, (< click)

The V-8 KZ1600 mentioned in one of the articles above is in the Barber Motorsports Museum, just outside Birmingham, Alabama.

any body see a boss hoss with one of them good ole 'merican 502's. now that is something america would do...
 
I like to poke fun as much as the next guy, but maybe we need to reel this in a bit.
This person is most likely new to bikes and has made a mistake.
Lets do the right thing and simply help him with the bike.
 
i agree with 8trackmind, don't judge the book by its cover unless its a porn mag
