          Absolutely stunning Yoshi. I am seriously contemplating going to red when I repaint mine.

                        Welcome to the world of frustration with Suzuki for the complete POS 50mm fuel tap. All the red Ss came with it. No reserve and the most ridiculous prime setting that doesn't do what it says on the tin. Only put one on if you want original and don't mind the bike not starting if you leave it parked for more than a day. Otherwise use a Pingel or other type of manual tap (using the Pingel base plate or a copy). Best thing I ever did.

                          Had it running but clutch rattling at tick over stripped it down hoping to find loose springs, but basket has had the the springs spaced out so no movement? rebuilt it but noise still there pull clutch in and it goes away,I have another basket I might put a set of APE duty springs in and see if that helps.also the starter was making odd noise every so often but the starter clutch seem's fine other than that it runs sweet.

                            For some reason the chain drive 1000 clutch hubs almost always rattle. Even on the one where I shimmed the springs it still makes some noise. I recommend one of those heavy duty back plate and spring kits. Starter noise could be starter clutch related. Did you change out the rollers and springs? Might be worth a look.
