1968 Suzuki T20 X6 Hustler rebuild
Posted: Mon Jun 27, 2022 6:37 pm
My new obsession with vintage Suzuki two strokes has culminated with me picking up GT750, T500, and now T20 projects for restoration. Not interested in making a show winning or cosmetically perfect bike, just good riders I can enjoy.
The T20 was luckily recently running before seizing one cylinder and being disassembled by the PO so I think that's where I'm going to start.
I am missing a few parts from the engine, namely:
Entire clutch (both baskets, and the bearing/actuator)
One exhaust header pipe and collar
One piston (damaged when the motor seized)
The motor also bent a rod and damaged a cylinder but the PO already got a new rod and cylinder so it's just a matter of rebuilding the crank. I have a hydraulic press, any pointers on how to get the crank apart easy?
I can't seem to post pics easily, am I doing something wrong?
Thanks guys it's great to be a part of this forum!
