Newbie in Detroit Area: 1966 S32-2 Olympian

Hello folks,

I bought an S32-2 that has been floating around eBay and craigslist for a while.

New battery, runs, strong compression, tank decent. Needs a rear tube, ignition switch, and the rear brake sorted out (sticks). Traveling this week, but will mess with it next week when I get home.

I bought it because it is twin of my Yamaha YCS1 180. These little twins are very fun!

Very nice ! :up: And it was registered as a 1966 ? I ask as that is so far the highest number 1966 S32 I've seen - I've been keeping a list to aid in identification which you can view at this link under 'Pre-1971 Suzuki Models'. I also have the parts manual on line at the same web site.

Hello,

I have just a bill of sale and no record of last registration. I have no idea what is was actually registered as. It could easilly be a 1967.

Just an FYI, I purchased this bike yesterday. Seller hadn't done much to it at all since purchasing. Too many projects. Any recommended sites for parts?

Well - I have the parts manual available on line at this link. To buy a parts book, eBay, Amazon or e-ClassicBike.com are good. Some parts are still available from Suzuki, others will take some searching - you could try Reiner in Germany, or Paul Miller in the US - check this link. Good luck ! 8)

Hello, I also recently picked up a 1967 S32- 1 mile south of Detroit on the Canadian side. I am currently in the early stages of a full restoration. Bike is mostly complete and the motor is good- even though I have a new set of 1st oversize pistons standing by. It is registered as a 1967 with matching numbers on the frame and engine case.
