Hello everyone,
Yesterday I bought myself an beautiful old GS at a flea market, the price was simply too low for me not to!
I am completly new to Suzuki motorcycles but not all new to bikes, as I have an old brit bike; a 58' A10 Gold Flash (hope this don't get me into bad standing already!).
I'm still trying to make out what year and model I've bought, and perhaps someone around here can help me with that. I belive it's either a GSX 400 F or E from the start 80's? It's had a bad DIY black painjob at some point but the underside of the tank is red so I think that may have been the original colour. It has double disc brakes front and drum at the back. The engine number is GS40XF - 124437 as far as I can make out (stamped in the crank case visible from the right hand (timing?) side). I haven't been able to find the frame number as it may have been painted over?
As the imange shows it's in need of TLC and the plan is to cafe it up a little if I can figure out exactly what I want, still undecided. Bit of a project but I can't wait to get started really!
So I'm probably going to ask a bunch of questions as I go along, but the first priority is to get the engine running I think, as it has been standing in a garage the past 3 years or so.
