The Suzi is looking like this at the moment I have been buying and pricing parts. Sent an email to Crooks Classic Parts on Friday with a list of swingarm bits I need. I haven't heard back yet so I will call them on Monday. I have managed to get a few other bits. The best bits so far this weekend......... the top part of the wiring loom. NOS and £25 - bargain. The loom is in 2 parts; headlight to engine and; engine to tail light and this is the biggest part. Also a genuine Suzi gasket set for £26. Really pleased about these as I have never seen a secondhand loom in this country, let alone a NOS one.

Is that why they sound so "fruity"?

The may both be bikes, they both may have 2 wheels, they may both be 250's but not a lot of other similarities

Lets hope any head gaskets are planed maintenance. I just brought a genuine gasket set for the TS. £6 from Thailand, £30 from the UK. Not a bad price I thought as they seem very scarce . £160 for genuine engine seals and bearings (not including the gaskets).

True........

Isn't it funny how expensive original gaskets and bearings are? Ironic funny - Not really funny!!

That is something I would be interested to know as well. No so much the balancing as the tyre fitter can do that. Just the lacing. I did read an artice in CMM a while ago and understand the theory however............ Fantastic looking bike Blackhat.

I don't think the Hein Gericke customer services will worry. They are happy to lie to a customer on the phone so why should an email phase them.

He looks very dodgy. I think on day two of the CBT you get to sit astride the bike

That is bad. Number 9 in the car theft league but have a look at one and 2 as well LINKY

Just had an email from M&P. They seem to have a sale on. I await all the smoke damaged jokes.

Cheers Casperj I will see what I am doing first as a bit hectic at work + I have a holiday coming up then the YOC weekend.

Close to me but never been. There is a Suzuki meet the first Thursday of the month just outside Loughborough, never been to that either.

Hein Gericke sale...................... what Hein Gericke sale? You order, you chase, they don't have, they hold on you your cash. They have just refunded my money after 2 weeks.

I will be interested to know how you get on. I do have to say that the item I paid for in the Hein Gericke sale on the 11th that they couldn't supply, they have just refunded my money. This means that they have only held my cash for 2 full weeks since they new that that they were out of stock.

I found that Hein Gericke sale article in MCN very interesting BWJ. Not at least because the guy who replied worked in the Nottingham store. The guys in there were friendly mind you I was looking to buy, not return. If Hein Gericke are franchised then their head office is doing the stores a mis-justise as they are p'ing potential customers off via their Hein Gericke sale slogans. The customer has to contact Hein Gericke when the sale goods do not turn up only to find that they were not available in the Hein Gericke sale. Then they lie about getting your cash back. 2 weeks now since I paid and I still have not got my money back. B4stards.

You are a bad man mike BWJ - On the fist page of google now for Hein Gericke sale

It does look very, very nice. Do bikes have back brakes?

I would just like to get my money back at the moment. Still waiting so I guess that it will turn up. Paid on my card so it is safe.

He did. At least we all know what he is doing now

Very, very nice OG. Gis a go

*****Beware of Hein Gericke sale***** I ordered this stuff on 11th July, as per the original post.Ordered before the end of the working day. The "Thank you" email said 3 to 5 days delivery. I waited a week until Monday 18th but still no gear so I called customer disservices. Apparently they didn't have any jackets left and would I like something else? I asked when they knew the jackets were out of stock. Apparently the day after I ordered so rather than refund me my money or call me to try and sell me something different they decided to just leave it. They were sorry to disappoint me and wanted to make amends. Would I like a cheaper jacket and trousers for the same money. What kind of deal is that I asked!! No, a refund will do nicely I said politely to which I was told that I would be refunded immediately (monday). So keeping one eye on the internet bank for the refund, it didn't show up. I called them yesterday and was told by the same customer disservice bloke that they had trouble with there machine but he had refunded me on tuesday and it would be in my account yesterday or today............... Guess what.................. yep........................still no refund. I have just got an email saying my refund had been approved. At this moment, I don't know when the money will appear in my account but to date they have had my cash for nearly 2 weeks. The moral of the story Don't buy anything from Hein Gericke. Customer disservices employ liars and if the items you have paid for are not in stock they will offer you something cheaper for the same money. That is once you contact them as they don't seem to contact the customer. I would avoid and never buy from them again. So far them and RST are on my sh1t dealers list. So while I wait for my £250 back I am still looking for a new jacket and or trousers. Thank you.

The one on my SV seems to work OK.

Happy birthday Windy. I bet you don't need any help blowing the candles out on your cake
