Bought it as a non runner...........
Apparently it does run But the clutch slips like a good'un (Probably due to the fully synthetic oil he was using). He had the engine half out to sort the clutch then lost interest Laughing
My plan is to finnish pulling the engine out, pull the casings off, sort the clutch, and try it out. If it's good....well that's great, if not I might break it which is what I bought it for but it seems too good for that..
Should have the engine out in the next couple of days then I'll be able to see what I'm up against.
I'll keep you posted Wink

Cool, funny you should mention the fully synthetic...I had an old K1 Zxr 750 rr which was great up until a mate put fully synthetic oil in and the clutch kept slipping after that. Even after changing the clutch plates for brand new. Got shot in the end but loved that bike. Laughing Anyway, fingers crossed its a runner for you, er, us ... Wink

Oh dear.................The previous owner could be right Shocked



I'm guessing this brown sludge is friction material off the clutch plates.
Won't know for sure untill my 50mm socket arrives Wink
Looks like Suzuki san will be getting another £140 of my hard earned for a new set of plates Shocked
Then whack it back together and see if it's going to run
Laughing
