1973 Suzuki GT550 Indy Three Cylinder Two Stroke Barn Find!!!
This bike has been sitting for about 10 years so it definitely has some problems. (To my girlfriend): This is not my bike, I did not buy another motorcycle. This is my neighbors friends bike and he is going to pay me to get it running again! So far, I put a new battery in it, replaced the oil tank cap with the correct one, cleaned the points and installed new sparkplugs! Now, we know that it turns over and has spark (and kinda starts) but it is going to need more work to run longer than one second. I'm thinking gas tank and carburetor cleaning and then it should run but stay tuned to find out!

Those crappy Chinese points not fitting was the best thing that could have happened for this bike. In the last 50 years I’ve fixed tons of old bikes with points ignition and never once had to replace a set of points.

@motoshark9870 2 месяца назад

I have one of these in similar condition . Thanks for the inspiration to get mine back going.

@jackn4853 2 месяца назад

Did you put oil in the barrels before trying to start the engine? Did you check that the oil injection system was working? Clean fresh petrol in the tank, also first start possibly use a petrol/ oil mix to ensure instant lube of the bore/rings.

Thanks for all the work you've put into these videos over the years. I'd like to think im mechanically inclined but it's more of an aspiration and a lot of guess work... I do enjoy driving though, just got a 03 Subaru Impreza outback to replace my '94 ranger. I'd love to get a motorcycle someday and i think an old bike is my best financial chance at it. Until then I'll live vicariously through these videos and peruse Facebook marketplace and Kijiji.

I had one of these. Spark plug gap (left & right) is 0.24", with the centre gap being 0.25" (thus proving that the myth that all spark plugs come with factory set gaps to be a lie).

Exciting find! Can't wait to see if the Suzuki GT550 2 Stroke Triple will roar back to life. We sent you an email, take a look.

Great content! I just picked up a 75’ in similar condition. Has sat for much longer, carbs are stuck right now. Looking forward to future videos!

@ticosandoval 2 месяца назад

My guess is you fried the wiring and/or starter relay. Perhaps grounds are bad or too high of resistance? Not familiar with that bike, but does it have a decompression lever?

I bought a 380 that 2 previous owners could not start. Read the manual and checked timing way out crank timing mark way out when checked with clutch cover off.

@johndonlon1611 2 месяца назад

Terrific find!! This bike is faster than stink so make sure your brakes and tires are up to task. Get the Suzuki factory manual specific for this machine. Suzuki sold tons of these bikes, especially in the 1975-78 era. Yes, factory authorized parts are available. Don't buy unknown shit from E-bay. Have fun with it.

@Blurredman 2 месяца назад

You don't necessarily need to replace points unless they're damaged- you can just file them down a bit.

@RealSuburbanCowboy 2 месяца назад

Those generator e-start systems really only work when the bike is warm. Your battery may not be powerful enough. I am guessing the blinkers will work when the engine is running too. Also don't forget to put some oil on that lube pad, or the points will just wear out right away. Looked like the smoke was from the wires going to the rectifier. Too much load on them while cranking. Only use the e-start to re-start the engine after it has warmed up.

@lbdrummer3 2 месяца назад

Betting the carbs are going to be gummed up. The rust particles in the tank probably got into them too. This thing is going to sound great though and be a shit load of fun to ride!

@JeffPutchinski 2 месяца назад

A little oil down the spark plug holes might of helped-Do we know how long it hasn't been run?

@TheMickvee 2 месяца назад

What is the deal with the single disc up front? Mine had twin discs from new, and it was a 1974 model, to UK spec. Great bike, if a bit on the hefty side!

@bethevenden4607 2 месяца назад

please check and make sure the oil filler cap itself can breathe.Otherwise you will seize it up

no, Suzuki ridden in uk by tasteless goons. However, Yamaha were ridden by hooligans, myself included. Honda were ridden by extremely conservative and cautious nerds. Kawasaki in that period were generally written by complete lunatics with too much money.

I want to upload it tomorrow morning because it is the time that most of my viewers are on RU-vid and setting the premiere just gives people a heads up ahead of time. Sorry if I pissed you off haha, that was not my intention.
