Here is a You Tube of bikes first few minutes of life.

Hope to start putting some break in miles on it soon.

Took my RGV VJ21 SP out for it's first real ride of the season today.
I pulled the Lectrons off and put the 34 Mikuni's back on with the airbox.
Bottom end is much better, and top end feels pretty good too.
Will be going back to the dyno as soon as I can get it in....pulled over 70 with the Lectrons, but AF was so screwed up there was no way of resolving it with the different needles I had.
Ran great for top end on dyno, but couldn't get out of it's own way riding on the street.
38's were just too big.....at least I didn't blow it up.

Problem now is I have a new RSV4, I have lost interest in basically anything else in the garage.



Also tested out the quick shifter I put on this winter....works great, and should save the clutch discs a little bit of wear.

All Suzuki powered…

Another Suzuki has been abducted, and will be on the table for a new direction in life soon

Interesting change in direction.

Am thinking you should switch to a 2LS front brake. A few of the Suzuki 2LS front brakes use a stay like your TS400 has.

I had been struggling with myself on the front end, as I want to make this a simple project….as the engine is so simple compared to all the bikes I have dealt with previously.
I thought about modern Supermoto front ends and rear brakes… I thought about a T500 front end, or even bring in a NK43 Tempter front brake from Japan.
But I wanted the most basic bike I could build, yet make it stick to the road with modern rubber.
It will be restored bone stock, except for rims, spokes and a pipe externally. Engine might get some TM treatment.

Basically it’s a project to clear my head of the complexities of what started out as a desire to have modern two strokes, which were unavailable to me.
I am losing my desire to search, buy, refinish the right bits for my 2T projects….

If I can’t get this done, I guess it’s time to sell off what I have and fold up shop.
