Used 1982 Suzuki GSX / Katana New

Seller Description

This 10,872 mile 1982 SuzukiKatanaGS1000SZ has been resurrected with the intent being to treat the project as a bike that was ridden and maintained as an owner would have over the years using skill and quality OEM parts, not as a museum show piece.As such, the heart of the motorcycle was left intact. The frame has not been painted and still retains the original sticker near the left rear foot area and wear from the previous owner. The motor has not been removed, but has had a light cosmetic treatment and is a 10k mile running unit.All mechanical issues with this bike were addressed with OEM Suzuki parts whenever available.

The bike was started and ran to assess the mechanical status.The clutch made some excessive noise due to improper prior service, so the entire clutch, from the primary drive (no longer available, thanks Mick Hone SuzukiAUS) fiber and steel clutch plates, new pressure plate, as well as all springs, bearings and washers replaced with OEM parts.The carburetors were then removed and disassembled, ultrasonically cleaned and rebuilt.The tank is solid and the fuel has been rinsed out. A new Suzuki petcock with a new gasket and fresh fuel line installed.Carbsare jetted with the jets it ran on. Has a factoryairbox,K&Nfilter and the Air/Fuel mixture screws 2 1/2 turns out.Clutch andcarbwork was performed by Jeremy Lanier of Lanier Racing.
The bike sits in a dry, ready to start state. Oil in the crankcase, no fuel in the tank orcarbs.
