that's a wicked find Lyle! does it run?

 

[catmando]

I hope so......going too get the carb cleaned and new gas and plugs. Don’t want too mess with it too much as it sat for a long time . Just create issues . Good compression, good spark, everything I checked is good . Even the oil is pretty clean lol.

Looks good. The Suzuki were a good bike. I Had Suzuki RM400, RM465, RM500 of that vintage 2 Stroke back in the day. I would say, I was faster on Suzuki RM125 on the track after 20 minute mark. Won many races with 125. The 500 was powerful, heavy, wears you out quickly. You have nice barn find there. Congrats ��. Currently working on 76 Yamaha TT500 fourstroke.
