Had a few spare moments (SWMBO'd was out shopping :D ) so I made a few more updates:

- added the official frame number list http://www.oldjapanesebikes.com//mraxl_ ... ne_id.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;"
- added a catch all section for things that don't fit elsewhere http://www.oldjapanesebikes.com//mraxl_ ... index.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;"
- added the T500 shop manual http://www.oldjapanesebikes.com//mraxl_ ... index.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;"
- added the GT500A Technical Bulletin http://www.oldjapanesebikes.com//mraxl_ ... index.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;"
- added the GT750 J/K/L parts manual http://www.oldjapanesebikes.com//mraxl_ ... index.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;"
- refreshed the Service Bulletins, and added many that were missing http://www.oldjapanesebikes.com//mraxl_ ... etins.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;"

On my work list for the next month are adding:

- T10 manual
- T305 manual
- GT380 part manual (almost done)
- GT500 owners manual
- GT750 owners manual (either for an M or an L)
- GT750 Japanese Parts Manual (almost done)
- GT750 and T/GT500 regional parts listings (UK, France, Germany, etc - mostly complete, just finalising a few loose ends)
- GT750 Patroller parts listings (almost done)

I'm almost at a point where I can entertain requests (helps to pass the time while its snowing up here :? ) - please drop me a PM if you have something specific in mind. 8)

I just posted up the Japanese GT750 Parts Manual covering the 1971 through 1975 Japan only versions. Included are all the Japan specific parts listing including the split head, special instrument clusters, head lamp brackets and some other interesting things unique to the Japanese version. I'm still playing with the performance, so you will notice some files are slow to load - I'll sort that over the next week or so.

Enjoy ! 8)

Thanks Dave - appreciated ! I have a number of other manuals in development/conversion in the pipeline - just need some bad weather or another long wait for parts to arrive to get them finished 8)

As 'ericsattic' mentioned over in the Restorations thread, I've been building out the T/GT500 page. I still have additional material and as well I am waiting for confirmation on a few points, but if people are interested they can take a look.

As always, comments and especially corrections (supported by documentation) are appreciated. 8)

Ian, you must have the same level of love for these old bikes and the patience that Dale (Mraxl) does. In case you need it, I have all of the files from Mraxl's resource pages backed up...I own 3cyl.com I also have a great deal of parts manuals and service manuals for a lot of Suzukis that aren't triples.

I'll tell you what, though...it through me for a loop when I first saw the redirect a couple of months ago. Thought I got hacked again. I called Dale in a panic. LOL

Just added the 1973/1974 GT250 parts manual for North American models. The direct link is:

http://www.oldjapanesebikes.com/mraxl_G ... index.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Also corrected a small error in the RE5 parts manual - I was missing one page of the Metering Pump parts listings detail.

For those keeping score - I have recently added:

- the 1962 T10 service manual at this link (and later 1964? supplement). Interesting for its rear expanding shoe hydraulic brake.
- the 1965 T20 service manual at this link

and

- the 1969 T250/T350 Service manual at this link

Enjoy ! 8)
