Fucking mental that is.. also classleader Egbert, on the same bike he used a few years back?

too late! suspension upgrades all round soon! rotary damper is coming off and k5 or onwards gsxr radial front end will make its way on at some point too!
Well, nobody complained about upgrading the suspension so it's not going to be wasted!

Looks tidy! And that sound never bores does it. Not just the exhaust either, induction noise is fantastic too, like and angry bear! Now hide the wallet or stop visiting the Zone and Planet..!

Yeah you're right, enough show ponies with this world of "investment".. rock on!
-
And some great pictures!
But a polished alloy frame on a salty beach.. what made you do that!

I can understand if you want to make it your own!

I'm pretty sure that left one is just like those on a TL. I'll be adding a little insert to the stock tube to reduce turn. But I believe Yamaha throttle tubes fit in there too and should also reduce turn. Don't know which one exactly but I should be able to find out.. if there's anyone interested anyway, seeing you already ordered..

Look like ZXR forks to me? They use to have 90mm caliper spacing too. Rear disc looks very yamaha so I think you're right about that one..

Mine is similar but with 6 pot AP's, mini harris rear and PVM wheels. Lightened but looking stock at first glance.
Can we see it?

Good looking bike that! Allthough the seat's a bit chunky..
-
Never noticed or payed attention to the bickering. Both have that hotrod vibe. TLR looks like no other bike and doesn't have the afterthought hump like an S. Slightly less of a stretch over the tank too iirc. And that angry grizzly under the tank at wot is fantastic! Clutch can be a bastard though, cam system problem, easy fix.
But..I prefer the S, with the right stuff it's just a bit more direct, more responsive on throttle. TLR is a bit more rounded.
But depends what you after too. Getting the fresher one might be the best bet..!

Couldn't really give a decent description of the differences in handling. But the TLR did have firmer front springs out of the box. It's a lot heavier with the frame, extra rad, extra fan, braced arm and extra fairing. Stock they tend to run wide, but that can be cured. Rotary had been revised so probably better then on the S, but who cares right!

There's more to suspension then that I'm afraid. Maybe the bike handles are certain way, which could give some direction to what's best to mod.
-
With corrected fueling, people reported over 150-160 miles between fill ups. But they might go on till the light goes solid, which is second warning.
The flatter clipons on my bike made it more comfy. As well as dropping the seat 1cm and reshaping it -3cm. That helps me stay seating under firm braking. Allthough that might be fixed when I sort the front end, it dives a lot.
-
Stock gearing is a bit rediculous, sixth will feel left out. With a 17:43 or so it might feel less lazy..

so if the 97 was just a case of a different ECU. if i bought a later model could I not simply swap to an earlier ECU or better yet a power commander to make it more 97ish
The '97 has round port intakes and a non progressive throttle (where cables attach, round = '97) which adds to a bit of madness. But early ecu's are a good upgrade. But like coom says, the first ecu has to be offset with a pcom.

Looks amazables!
-
Did you have a '97s amongst these?
-
A slow starting TL will ruin the sprag clutch so beware.
-
Most likely the same, apart from preload adjuster color.
-
Simply put, they're not over engineered and simple like old suzooks. Loads off things to look out for.
Want the proper rodeo experience, get the '97S. Later models have fewer bugs and tamed ecu.

.. you now struggle to get a absolute shed for £1500 , still miss it
There's one in bristol at the moment, check the Zone.
Next year the TL will be 20!

On the Zone is a thread about organising a venue together with Suzuki GB. Though it might be something to bring under the attention here!
