Fantastic information.
What a labour of love has been done there.
Many thanks to all to helped, but especially to Ian for all the hard work involved.
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.

We can't thank you enough. It's very interesting to read through your findings and posts about different models. I'm sure your literature has helped quite a few people. It's not often, people have something as detailed to refer to in reference to anything of significant age. You've devoted yourself, to present something to all of the people for years to come in reference to these models. It's also quite impressive that you devoted even more time to improve and include more detail as the years have passed. Shows your passion. :up:

Thank you all. :clap: I have to say that I have had help with this project from many people around the globe. You know who you are, so take a bow. :up: :up: And where ever possible I have credited contributors, but if I have missed someone, then my apologies and just let me know. 8)

Lots of snow here, so I've made a few updates to my web site:
  • - I copied the North American GT750 1977B microfiche - am now cross eyed and really needing glasses as a result - the link is here
  • - also added the 1972 GT750 J owners manual here.
  • - the GT250 A service manual supplement here
  • - a copy of the T10 parts manual for North America here
  • - and the S32-2 service manual supplement here
  • - and I'm playing with a different way of showing wiring diagrams using a magnifying glass - you can take it for a test drive here. This is still in test but comments are welcomed.
I've also made quite a number of changes to my 'Field Guide to the Suzuki GT750' - too many to list (plus still more to be added :? ) , but check out the J, L and B sections, as well as the section on Movies, the small screen etc. No doubt I have managed to also introduce a few errors - if you find anything please let me know.

Enjoy ! 8-)

I've uploaded a refresh of the T/GT500 material which can be found at this link. As per usual I had help from a number of people and they are listed in the credits section.

I would like to get a selection of left side cover photos of T and GT500's that I do not already have - if you own one of these bikes and want to see your name in print, then just email me directly and I'll add them in at this link. And before someone asks - yes I know there are loads of examples on the web which I could just 'borrow', but I like to try and give proper credit for the the photo whenever possible.

I do have much more T500 material still to be added - but I also have my GT750 J to finish, plus the sidecar on my Nimbus needs some repair and so I'm switching back to work on those for the next while. :shock:

Enjoy ! 8-)

Just for info (and for those of you who don't follow my Facebook page :D ) I added a couple more manuals to my web site yesterday:
  • - the B100 and B100P Owner's manual
  • - the T10 Owner's manual
That brings me up to 50 manuals now available for on-line viewing, along with 143 service/technical bulletins, 3 "books" and a load of other stuff, all located at this link. A lot of folks have helped to make this possible - you know who you are, and my thanks to each of you.

Enjoy !

Today I added a few more manuals (they can be found at this link) :
  • - the GT185 L parts manual covering the General Export model, and includes the UK, France, Germany, Sweden etc.versions
  • - the T350 J owner's manual
  • - the GT380 M owners manual
  • - the RE5 A owners manual
  • - the RE5 M owners manual pages that differ from the A, so this is really just the photos of the parts of the bike that changed
Enjoy ! 8)
