1985 SUZUKI BLACK/RED For Sale

GSX r 400 GK71b

This bike is 1985 bike but registered in the UK in 1995 when imported from Japan.


The early GSX R were not available in Europe and were all import bikes I have been led to believe.


Earlier this year I went to collect a couple of old Vespas and the GSX R was sitting in the back of the garage and struck up a deal with the owner and took it away as I remember them when I was teenager and also fancied one.


Got it home and got it started, was pretty easy to get going.


Then i took carbs off & cleaned them in my mates ultra-sonic cleaner, rebuilt with new gaskets and seals. Gave the bike a service and changed fork seals and head bearing, took it for an mot and it passed.


Its start, stops and runs great, think the carbs could do with little week as just adjusted by sound and running.


Since then changed the clutch cable and lever as they felt a little sticky.


Fairings are bit tatty in places, few splits and scratches but perfectly functional. I have a spare tank, cowl and front fairings that will offer to the winner of auction at a reasonable price.


The bike is the black/red livery which I believe was the colours for the 1984 bike GK71A, the replacement fairings and tank I have are in the blue?white which I believe is the 1985 colours.


The cooling fan is at the minute controlled through a manual switch. The temp sender and gauges work perfectly but not got round to investigate why the fans on manual switch yet.


I'm only selling as need to get rid of some toys as neighbour wants her garage back and got it full of stuff.


Any questions give me a call 07899 824394


I require a deposit of £50 at end of auction and balance paid in cash on collection.


You are bidding to buy not to come haggle.
