My GSX-8TT in Wes Cooley tribute colours.

So I got this bike in a trade and I've never had my own before. I'm looking to turn it into a cafe racer. Previous owner said he drove it into his garage about 4 years ago and it sat ever since. The key he had for it doesn't work so I haven't gotten it running yet, but it seems like it's in decent shape. I've drained the oil (waiting on a new filter) and I've got some other parts ordered. Any advice or anything would be appreciated for this newb.

It's still on the ground!

The video glitch helps show the rear wheel was up off the ground. Hitting the car just made it flip and spin up in the air.

Hope everyone is okay.

Update: It's not a BMW. I thought it was. After doing some research, it's a Suzuki GRX.

Hey guys, found this on marketplace.
For context he is asking 1400 for both bikes.
He has 2 Suzuki rv90s for sale. One is ready to ride, 2800 miles, the other is a complete parts bike that “just needs a coil” to run. Neither have titles, but the blue one has already had the long process of the vin inspection paperwork done.

I really want to ride these around my small city to school/work and to the beach, but this guy doesn’t seem to be budging on 1400 for both bikes. Do you think it would be worth paying the price?
I’m in South Texas.

We are both broke but he left it out over the winter and it turned into a rusted clam. He paid me $360 to remove the rust and make it run again. I added a “custom” (chopped Harley stock) sissybar and a second headlight along with painting the tank and front fender.

I do more involved work on motorcycles but there seems to be a want for between full price pristine custom work and garage made custom shit. Would anyone be able to see people spending money on these type of “custom motorcycle fabrication” shops?

I have 7 years in working on motorcycles under my belt. I’m no Jesse James or even close to his quality, but I have fun and try to show it.

Would anyone buy this service? PSA: I am not selling a service I am genuinely curious about people’s interests

Cleaned up a bit with some polishing paste and a microfiber cloth

Hey everyone, I’ve got this 83 Suzuki gs1100e and I’m diving into the wiring and I think the previous owner crossed some wires here, not sure..

My train of thought is that it has an undiagnosed electrical issue so I am looking through the harness before I give it a fresh battery/ power for the first time. I’m not experienced in reading wiring diagrams so I can be sure what I’m looking at, I need guidance.

So I’ve started by looking into the charging systems. I’m noticing a few things like the battery was not grounded to the frame but through the harness. The rectifier is grounded to the handlebar controls fuse panel, the rectifier is also not connected anywhere (shown). There are 4 loose wires (shown Red, Yellow, white/blue, white/red). The stator wires seem to be connected to the completely wrong wires (shown)

Specifically, can anyone explain where my stator wires and regulator/rectifier wires connect and what the wires that are wrongly connected are for?

Hey everyone, as the title says, I scratched my bike’s tank with a new pair of knee guards I bought. It was my first ride out with some friends, just some light off-road, but I didn’t realize the knee guards were rubbing against the tank and scratching it. The bike is basically brand new lol. Any idea how I can fix it? Thanks in advance!

Hi, soo, next week im going to take a look at this bike. Its a 1977 TS125, its going to be technically my first bike (i already have and ride every day Czechoslovakian moped Babetta 210 from 1989) but that's a very different "bike" than this. My question is are there any known things that goes bad on these? Or should i just look at it like any other bike?

Funny thing is that in my country (Czech republik) there are registered only 2 of these specific bikes, So its a rare thing here, but sourcing parts will be a nightmare.

Today I changed the engine oil on my 2011 SV650S, and after starting the bike the engine warning light came on. The bike still starts and runs normally. Has anyone experienced this before or know what could cause it?

So I’ve just bought this vintage supposed ds80 but on the frame vin it has rm50 I was thinking maybe it is an rm50 but on the other hand maybe it’s because it’s the way they use to do the vin number on them. Took a closer look after scrubbing the engine a lil to clean it up and the engine says ds80 I’ll include vin numbers and photos lmk and help me out everyone I need to restore this asap while I still have the money 😂

Frame vin number ( what I know of ) on the head piece: RM50-114424
Vin number on engine just above chain: DS80-105661

Owned the S1000 for a while now, just completed the 4k mile service. Any mods, tips, or suggestions on the service intervals for this litre monster?

Just bought my new ride, and hustling it 300 miles home...

Hello. I need a little bit of help. I got a GS500 as a first bike from a friend. He clearly stated it needs a little bit of love. I am trying to figure out if this is an issue or not, but after it idles, if I give it a little bit of throttle, it will stick around before slowly going back down. It also constantly sounds like it is bogging down, but I dont know if that is just how it sounds idling. If anybody could help me, that would be great.

Rebuilt the front brake main cylinder. Changed the plugs. Took it out and got it warm. Can’t wait to get it out on the road and cruise.
