Hi all ! i've made some little adjustments on the bike during winter months. Target was to have some opportunities during summer for some track day with my friends. Unfortunately the majority from the targeted events were cancelled. Don't ask... Even if i've always try to maintain the bike, some work was necessary.I want to have something clean (not too much/without have to cry in case of scratched paint...) and i don't have lot of money to spend. So like alway..i've done it myself. Lot of the bike was (another time) dissassembled. Something you must know, is the fact that for a tappet adjustment you need to take the complete bike apart...due to the positionment of the spine frame, engine must be removed. For do that, you need to remove front fork, suspension and swingarm... and then only... with some good help, you can lift the frame with a savant move (cause it's very tight...) Same must be done for remontage.If i need to do that for a simple tappet adjustment, i take this "opportunities" for do the rest of the maintenance... This is the result. I've assembled this bike since more than a decade and half yet. Look always pleased to run. Something special is going to happen next month. The SRC. And as i say it here : http://oldskoolsuzuki.info/forums/index.php?/topic/4993-sunday-ride-classic-1516-april-le-castellet-france/#comment-55295 i will be there with my bike. Never rode on this track. Will be exciting, i think. Place is located 1200kms from home. So it's a sort of challenge cause Car/trailer/wife are all coming with me...

Hi all ! A classic event is organised on the Paul Ricard track at Le Castellet (South of France) For more info see at : http://www.sundayrideclassic.com/venez-a-la-sunday-ride/ Lot of Classic race/ pilots etc... I will be there, trying to play with other in the SBK series with my bike. I will be very pleased to meet some of you, Oldskool guys on place ! Cheers.

Just Perfect ! Nothing else to say !!!

Rofidal make good stuff. Cheeper i think.

Autumn comes gently and dirty/slippery roads also !!! Time to take a few picture before storing for the winter period.

If your project idea was based on a twin, i keeped in my mind to try a modern Suzuki twin. (TL/TLR/SV ?) in the same kind of frame...some years ago.

This is the kind of conversation i enjoy a lot !

And just because i know you like picture...This one is from last summer.

I think this one was built with 25Cd4S/25rmo4. But choice is yours !

This is much better.

Please accept the fact that this is not OSS ...

Thanks markfoggy ! The only photo that i can find in my collection is this one. I take it in Magny Cours in 2011. Rau frame but Kwak engine...

HI to all OSS ! Ok ! Today, i've find the proof that i'm not the only one to have explored this (dark)way... the wedding from an GsxR engine & a spine frame . I find this picture on Face"thing". This one has a lot of similarity with mine...but that's not mine ! Apparently lot of first choice parts. Interested to know who's assembled this one, i've, with the help of some friends, find that this bike is no MotoMartin, but a RAU ( Well know German builder). Gave me some idea for the futur...

That's the way i choose for mine (ok...not a slabby...but...)

Hi ! All the things you mentionned are quite correct. R709 is the engine code for slingshot 88/89 750 model for the French market. 748cc short stroke 100hp with restrictor on exhaust.

This fairing look similar with some Suzuka 8 hours model. (1988) like French team used them. I've one in "endurance version " This mean 2 (too small maybe ?) light. I say that cause i've seen more biggest on actual Phase one bikes on your last night run.

In fact...that's the reading on my night table...

Sad you haven't propose that at "Le Castellet" ... Next time ! Great project you've ! RC30 haven't any chance ! My contribution...

Nice old endurance trick, markfoggy ! Thanks for sharing your experience. The renaissance from a championship with a "classic" category give us the occasion to have a close see to all that stuff. Lot of trick to see effectively...and the préparation level is just... indescribable !!!

Finally find an opportunity to have a painted front fairing. Some friends from Club11R section bring it to me at the Paul Ricard racetrack meeting. I decided to mount the bike with a complete fairing, i has for years. Made some modifications on the dashboard. Need paint retouch everywhere...

Ok ! i've asked because of your @Gammaboy...Make me think a fanatic from some powerfull/ultralight 2strokes bikes ! Difficult to beat in term of ratio power/kgs...

Disapointed ?

Could be even much lighter with a pair mag or forged wheels. Maybe should i...
