Bike_Rookie Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 New here and new to bikes. Recently inherited an 80s suzuki that hasn't run since 92. A friend of mine who has a little knowledge shout bikes helped me fix a battery and spark plug to it and has told me the electrics definitely need redoing. I am not even sure what the different parts of the bike are called yet but am hoping to get it fixed up and running. Any advice on where to start in restoring a bike or even what tools or help I'll need would be great. Tomorrow I'm off to buy a bike stand (even searching for them online makes me feel like I'm over my head) and then am going to try to strip the bike down to the frame over the next week or so. I will let you all know how it goes. Any and all advice will be appreciated and very needed! Quote
ThePhatomfart Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Hi Nic, have only got the manual itself, but no worries have a look at this site it's got everything you need for your bike, it comes in sections just click the page and it moves on, parts diagram too http://www.oldjapanesebikes.com/mraxl_GT_Resource/manuals_page/index.php Quote
goody Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 Try and label all bits you strip because I,ll guantee if you don't when you put it back together you'll have bits left ( or is that just me ) any how using numbered stickers works for me 1 attaches to 1 ect ect might sound daft to some but if your not a natural spanner man this makes it a little easier Quote
