shiny things
i took a run at polishing the cases on my first s32-2. while they are not a mirror finish, they are a huge improvement. the clutch side had been rolo-disc'd and the alternator case was blackened like old lead and they were all battered.
they are still dirty and need to be clear coated. she'll be a respectable 20 footer (when the snow clears).

And, as pointed out nicely to me, they were ALL premix bikes.
Heck, I even have a parts book for the S32-2.....although it's been quite awhile since I looked at it.....
Nice job on the cases, Jim. She'll be a looker, for sure.

Rick it started out that way before the posi-force system, and the way of measuring was unique too as you well know.
For those of you who do not know, there was a white bottle in the tool cover frame panel strapped in, it was also square in profile so it would not move in the strapped position.
The plan was you would ride the bike and when it went to reserve you filled up the fuel tank and poured in the smoke oil to the first (middle) mark on the bottle, the bottle was good for two refills.
Then you'd press the front brake and rock the bike back and forth to mix the fuel and oil, off you went till the next tank refill.
It was the way of the world at the time and people never forgot to use it, well ok id say we never had customers with seizures from that too often.
Then posi-force came out and those funny little chrome foil stickers were sent to dealers to apply to the oil tanks of the new bikes with pumps.
For a while suzuki updated some present model bikes to pumps and those bikes got a P after the model, K10 to K10P, B100 to B100P etc,
That didnt last long though as new models were coming out more frequently and pumps were considered standard fittings by then.

three of my six suzukis are premix. strangely, they all came to me with broken piston skirts.
the other three are injected and don't appear to have ever been opened up.
weak skirts or poor lubrication or a combination of both. i'm hoping to never find out.

The first thing I always do is use chemical paint stripper to get the damaged clearcoat off. A lot of the black crap is actually in the clearcoat. The use 400 grit, 600, 800, 1000, etc until you're satisfied. If you have deep gouges from roadrash, you cah sand those down and tair them in until you have ripples instead of sctarches and few people will notice.
