Hi, I'm thinking of getting myself a 2 stroke 250cc bike and in my local market I'm limited to bikes from the 70s, 80s and 90s made by Japanese manufacturers. I have an interest in getting something like the Suzuki RMX 250. On paper it looks quite powerful for a 250. However before I go...

Hi guys and girls. Really glad to have found and joined this great community! I am currently looking (to no avail) for a Suzuki GZ125 Marauder service manual. The ones on ebay are crazy prices and I was wondering if anyone had a PDF file for one. Regards, Sniped90.

I was out riding my 2000 Suzuki Marauder VZ800 and stopped at a gas station. I had it shut off for less than a minute and it wouldn’t start back up. It wouldn’t turn over or anything, just dead. All of the lights would come on, neutral light, blinkers, etc. We’re thinking it is the killswitch...

Have been riding 45 years, any time spent on two wheels is time spent doing what I love to do. Living in Colorado have some of the most breath taking scenic rides of any place I know of, winding mountain roads that require you to pay attention, but are pure joy to travel on. Presently riding a...

I'm attempting to rebuild a 1974 Suzuki RL250 Exacta. The issue: I'm struggling to accept that the floats do not attach. Obviously they do have UP printed on one side, and the carb diagram shows that they just kind of sit there. Weighing against all that is the observation that the carb body...

So I want to get a new bike, currently I have a 2014 FZ6R which is a very upright and comfortable ride. I know I either want a Suzuki GSXR 600 or a Yamaha FZ-09 but I can't decide which to get. Money isn't really the problem I can find both within my budget the only thing that concerns me about...

Hi all, Maybe i'm just paranoid or i'm not used to mechanical vs hydraulic lifters, but when I hit the accelerator hard on my GS550ES around 4100ish rpm, the bike makes a fairly loud rapping/tapping sound that doesn't really sound like normal valve noise. This lasts all the way up to 6500ish...

I'll try to keep this short and to the point. I purchased a 2002 Suzuki VS800 Intruder with about 7500mi 3 weeks ago. I upgraded from a 2004 Honda Rebel. Riding the Suzuki felt amazing, and I was finding every possibility to ride it and enjoying it. Then came the problem about a week ago. I rode...

(Sorry for long explanation story) So here's the break down of what's going on with my lil Suzuki. One day she was working fine, next day I gave her a bath and I switched my tail light bulb out for an led. I didn't try to start her before I gave her a bath or put in the led, all I know she was...

Hey, new user here. 2001 Suzuki vz800 marauder won’t get past 50(ish) Has new New spark plugs Clean air filters Carbs clean.

I've been messing around on a 2004 kawasaki kx250f through some fields now for about 2 years. I do ride it on some back country roads with no cars on it from time to time but I am sure that isn't the same as driving in the city. I was thinking about getting a gsx r 750 next year once I am able...

A couple of days ago I tried changing the oil on my 79 gs850. It's a project bike that I recently got running and I wanted to make it in ridable condition as the oil inside was really old and worn. While taking out the bolt I learned that the oil pan had been stripped. I bought a tap which I've...

Hey there, so I recently bought a used 2008 GSXR 750. The bikes display isn't showing the A, B and C modes nor is it showing which gear I'm in. However when turning the key and the display boots up, it will temporarily display the gear and modes, just like how it turns on the indicator lights...

Hello everyone! So happy to become a member. I’ve been riding motorcycles since the age of 8. I have a few, but just yesterday I picked up this beauty. 1974 Suzuki Titan. It was ridden until 1978 then stored in a garage since. It has 700 miles on it! I can’t wait to get this bike going and back...

Hey all, I new to the forum and also new to this bike. I recently bought a 2003 sv1000s and absolutely love it. It was upgraded to the zx10r rear shock which is great. However I'm having an issue of adjusting the preload nuts on the shock. I've tried pounding it and taking a spanner wrench and...

Hello all riders. So I'm in the market for a new bike but I'm torn on what to get. I currently have a 2019 Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R. It's a sweet bike but I'm just not too into sports bikes. I used to have a Harley V-ROD and loved it. So here's where I would love some suggestions: my riding will...
