Hi everyone,
I’m hoping someone here can help me identify the exact make and model of this motocross bike. I’ve been trying to figure it out, but so far I haven’t had any luck.
Based on the information I have, I believe the bike is from around 1984 to 1986, but I’m not completely certain. I’m especially looking for the exact model name and, if possible, the specific year.
If anyone recognizes it or notices any details that could help identify it, I’d really appreciate your input. Any information, no matter how small, could be helpful.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to help!

Traded in the XSR 900 for this gal as soon as it came into the shop. I’m not upset about it at all!

both my daily and weekend bike.

Ordered a gold chain for this motorcycle, but I’m thinking gold might end up looking kind of tacky. What do y’all think?

Buenas noches Banda , recién compré una Gixxer sf 150 2026 nueva (lleva 1000 km apenas) en su primer servicio en la agencia me dieron este aceite que le pusieron (Motul 20W-50) , sin embargo investigando ví que no es recomendable este por ser más espeso si no el 10W-40 eccstar , vivo en Yucatán (clima cálido y húmedo , poco frío) y la uso para andar en la ciudad (del trabajo al gym y casa) mi pregunta es si me la pueden echar a perder por este aceite y que debería hacer o reclamar en la agencia en mi siguiente visita , o si es recomendable seguir usando este aceite , en su experiencia que me recomiendan ? Gracias por su atención 🙏😔🇲🇽

I got this part, can’t figure out what bike will fit. I believe it is a Hayabusa, has this clear cover.

1999 Hayabusa, bought in 2006. The story I got was that Suzuki UK had trouble selling the bronze bikes and gave a batch to Dream Machine (celebrated UK bike paint shop) to paint in race colours. I’ve never seen another one.

Took this to Europe; rode from London to Strasbourg, through the Black Forest to Stuttgart for the Porsche museum, Autobahn to Feldkirch in Austria (was only brave enough to do 165mph), through Liechtenstein to Switzerland, loads of Alpine passes (Stelvio, Furka etc), down to the Côte d’Azur and across the French Alps then north back to London.

I just didn’t quite like it as much as a Blackbird, so sold it and bought another Blackbird.

I’ve spent 15 years hoping it’ll come up for sale again. Yes, I’m an idiot.

Ich habe mir wieder eine Bandit Baujahr 2003 zugelegt. Seit 2014 Stand sie nur rum.

Da ich vorher eine hatte, dachte ich mir es wäre ein cooles Projekt.

Auf den Bildern kann man gut erkennen, dass sich Harz abgelagert hat und sonstiger Dreck, der die Düsen verstopft.

Ich werde alle Teile austauschen und den Rest vom Vergaser ordentlich säubern.

Hi all, I purchased a 1981ish Suzuki GS550T about 9 months ago, partly to learn to ride and partly to learn to work on a bike. I successfully used it to learn to ride and get my licence. I’ve also done some minor cosmetic changes and repairs since I bought it, but I noticed that at some point over the last few months it has began running on only 3 cylinders. I’m not sure when exactly this issue began, but I noticed a degradation in the bike’s performance over a bit of time, and a couple of backfires, sure enough the header coming out of Cylinder 2 barely heats up and there’s no change in the idle when I remove the plug cap.

I have checked compression across the cylinders, they’re all the same. I have checked spark in cylinder 2, it appears normal. I have cleaned out the carburettors, this had no effect. I have swapped in new spark plugs, this had no effect. The old spark plug in cylinder 2 was very black when removed. After putting in a new spark plug, running the bike for 10 minutes, and removing the plug from cylinder 2 again, it was already starting to blacken.

Hoping to get a bit of advice as to what the most likely cause might be? Seems to me like the cylinder is likely getting too much fuel, but I’ve no clue what’s causing it, I’d appreciate any advice.
