Thanks for the reply's gentlemen.
Loads of info and greatly appreciated, between the two of you there is a wealth of knowledge on the 70's suzukis.
Ok, a bit of info that I didnt mention;
A wine from top gear when cruising at 85 kmh slowly gets worse. Slow down and the gearbox is stiff. When stationary, in neutral, they rev, tick over as usuall, but selecting any gear,clutch in, starts the "shaking a tin of bolts" noise. Wait 5 minutes and ride off buisness as usuall. Its happened about half a dozen times now, always when cruising the long straight roads.
I see where the piston siezure idea comes from my first post, but that can't be it(almost sure ;-).
Internet diagnosis is a swine, just thought I would give it a try.
We fly out in a week to ride the bikes Nepal/Greece and this problem was playing on my mind.
So any more ideas are more than welcome.
Andy
