Sounds like the bike may be burning some oil.Run your finger inside the muffler,if your finger comes out black and oily,than the bike is burning oil.

Thanks for info, but if the bike burns oil, what does it mean... Is it critically ill or repairable? For what cost?
I'm a beginner, forgive my ignorance of mechanic... :??:

Take care!

Welcome PimpS

Wow it's a good thing you have such a level-headed girlfriend because that first bike looks awesome! Hope the second lower mileage bike looks as good, better to have something you can ride without having to repair..

Hey all!

Happy and safe-riding new year!
Yeah it's a good thing that she's so levelheaded and down to earth, cause i was like a kid in a candy store. Anyway, we went to check other bike and we decided to buy it. I hope that this weekend a friend we'll be able to lend a van to pick up the marauder. I offered the price and the owner was pleased with the offer. I'm getting a bike with 8360 km, year 2000 for 1200 €. I need new tyres (have an offer for dunlop d404, both tyres, for 160€)...
I think that the chain we'll have to be changed, seems coroded (a bit greenish on same parts), friend told me that this isn't a problem, maybe it just needs to be cleaned and tensioned.
I HOPE I'll SHOW YOU MY BIKE NEXT WEEK! YIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
Thank you guys for all the infos!

At 8360km the chain shouldn't really need changing. Check the sprockets for wear too, although these shouldn't need changing either. First try a good cleaning and oiling. :2tup:

HHEEEELLLLOOOO!!!!

Proud and happy new owner of suzuki gz 250!!!!

Finally, after 300km made with mini van (peugeot partner, seats out), me and my girlfriend drove home 2000 suzuki. It was nice trip, but even nicer feeling when the Marauder PimpSeR was down on the garage floor... Two friends came over to put it out of a van. When we started it, it nicely worked. The only thing that we noticed, that me and girlfriend didn't when we were at sight seeing of a bike, was that it has a drilled hole in exhaust , back side of the exhaust, few centimeters away where two pipes get together. We saw it because of the condensated water that came out.
I'm planning to check this with my mechanic and I will propably fill it. Any suggestions?

Anyway, I can hardly wait for spring and summer! Yiha!

Thank you guys very much for everything!

Yes! DON'T FILL IT! It's supposed to be there, to let the water/moisture out, just like you saw. It comes from the factory like that.
