Hey, Amazon, Ebay. 65mm-14👌

Our issue was sluggish acceleration from a standstill. It would feel like a loose chain, but would continue to occur after the chain was correctly tightened. Let the clutch out normally and accelerate away. If you feel resistance or the bike feels like its "dragging" then put the bike on the centre stand and rotate the rear wheel around its axle. If wheels moves and the rear sprocket stays stationary for a little bit, your cush rubbers are worn out. The sprocket will have a little play but if it looks and feels major then the rubbers are worn down and not allowing for the full rotational forces to be applied to the rear wheel from the sprocket.

Also if the bike feels jerky from deacceleration, then that may be an issue. A bike should smoothly deacceleate and then smoothly apply the power to the wheels when acceleration occurs. If the bike jerks backwards and forwards and it doesnt feel smooth - check the rubbers.

Yes this is technically the bike before the XJR. Must just be a European model then. It is not quite a Diversion but very similar

In the states, I think it was called the ‘Seca 900’ and had a slightly different fairing possibly.

Oh you know buddy. What a whopper! It feels large even for me

I know I know! Its not a real Katana but it is to us, we love it

I do plan on doing an update on this bike. Yes it was firing on only 3, just needed a new plug. Shes firing on all 4 now, but we have a rectifier issue. Got a new rectifier but the wiring is a mess and I need a new connector to refit the rectifer to the wiring harness. Bit of a pain but some soldering and shrinky rubber should be all I need.

You can remove the stickers but.... The stickers fit in this strange groove set out by the manufacturer. By removing the stickers, you will expose this small gap. Its not very noticeable but a bit annoying for perfectionists.

Brazil have some strange laws regarding motor vehicles as far as I am aware. Is it true that they do not allow imports? Or vehicles that are readily available outside of Brazil? I am unsure on the reasons why but the cars sold in Brazil are mostly unique to Brazil and not sold anywhere else. It is rather strange haha

@@themustacheman Imports are permitted, but with a lot of bureaucracy. Currently the government is banning imports of carbureted vehicles due to new environmental laws. Here there are also many branches of car manufacturers such as Honda, Yamaha and many others that unfortunately will have to adapt to the new laws. So, for these companies, unfortunately, it is not worth selling some vehicle models here because of the absurd taxes

Yes! We also have Peroduas here in the UK. This Daihatsu is also manufactured by Toyota and Subaru under different names. We do not have the Toyota version here in the UK, as it is for Japan only

I know it is strange. If you can access the Daihatsu Owners Club group on Facebook then you might find some old posts where members from the UK find a supplier for complete exhaust systems. If I find it, I will link it here, hopefully the link works

M301 sirion Had MOT last November, exhaust needed replacing, £600 😢 local garage welded something else on I have no idea what model, but it makes a lot of creaking so I'm needing to head back and see what they say, it's that or the rear suspension making noise.

Are you asking if I have used different brands or types of oil? Please use the recommended viscosity oil for your car but the brand does not matter. Mobil, Castrol, Shell, Valvoline and Fuchs are just some of the major brands that should work completely fine.

Apologies I thought you said "different" oils. Ah, the transmission is built into the engine and not in a seperate differential. No I have not changed my transmission oil. I do plan on getting it done soon in my new service video as my car now needs another service!

Use ATF-Dexron 3 or higher grade...amout minimum 2.5 liter, then need to top up again after engine is warm up to check at "Hot" section on the disptick.

@@themustacheman I think @marcosicari4404 was actually asking if you have ever changed the rear differential oil

Thats fantastic, my partner sold it recently. She has since upgraded to a 750 Katana and a CB400F. Shes a mad lad

I believe the pollen filter is located in the cabin. Go to the passenger side compartment and locate a sliding trade. I believe it is fitted there. Have not replaced them myself, shall do it soon on my next service video

None of this bike is original haha. Indicators, rims, front headlight, rear fender and light is from a CB750, exhaust is not original, pod filters (i do have the original airbox), levers, brake reservoir, paintwork is not original, badges and stickers, handlebars, grips, brake hoses, speedometer, tachometer.... The list goes on :D

Yes you can, you just need to loosen the cable so you have more play. This will cause the biting point to be closer to the floor. To be honest - your best bet is to feel the clutch operation. Does it slip whilst you are driving, do you experience a lack in acceleration after changing gears temporarily, do you struggle to get it into reverse? Also, the mileage of your car. Normal clutch operation usually calls for a clutch replacement after 60,000-80,000 miles. Also, run the car in neutral. Listen to the transmission, it should be silent. Press down on the clutch pedal fully. Do you hear a rattling noise? It might sound like a dodgy bearing. This is a sign that your clutch throw bearing is wearing out. If the noise is faint and quiet, then it should be fine. If the noise is loud and squeaky, its probably an indication that your clutch plates and throw bearings need to be changed. These jobs are done together - when ordering a new clutch, it will come with a new bearing. It would be silly to replace just the throw bearing, as you might as well do the clutch plates or even the flywheel if the teeth are worn. A low mileage car will probably just need the clutch cable adjusted. Your french car may have a hydraulic clutch, therefore the process for adjusting the cable may be different. If it is a cable, then do not worry, my video should be able to help.

Yes I absolutely love my Suzuki! I have taken it across the South of England, it is a lovely, smooth ride and feels like a luxury upgrade compared to my Honda CB550 haha

Thanks man! Means a lot, thanks for watching

Awesome! I've seen a lot of people modify these bikes into drag racers. Myself and my partner got this bike running fully (MOT all good and on the road) with some help from a local specialist (JapRetro) and now it sits in my garage until next spring.

@@themustacheman briliant I will have winter to decide what's happening Probly sell original panels as iv a diffrent plan lol 👍👍👍😜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦕🦄😁🤞✌️

I bought the bike with them still attached. There are many places you can buy them as they are quite generic. I am UK based and can find these speedos on eBay and Amazon.

I used a Crosland Oil filter with a height of 57mm, outer diameter of 60mm and an inner diameter of 28mm. The part number given on a website is 501820158. The oil filter comes with a plastic piece. I did not use the plastic piece as the oil can funnel into the filter without it, I believe

@@themustacheman Thanks I wound up finding a good parts shop and got a Daihatsu filter. The little plastic piece you can use to drain the filter before you unscrew the housing. That little spot for a 3/8 drive takes off a cap on the housing, then stick the plastic bit in and it pushes up a spring valve, oil drains out of the filter. Helps keep things tidy

@@ajsmotolife5641 I did not know that at all! That is really helpful information. Will save me making a mess next time I service it, thanks!

Yes they are awesome. I have a limited mechanical knowledge, so my partner and I ended up getting a specialist to do the remaining tweaks and fixes so the bike was fully up and running. Glad you enjoy your Suzuki, we also love ours! I have a GSX550E in perfect condition

There was no service light on my dash. If your check engine light is on then you should get that looked at by a mechanic. A check engine light could mean many things. If there is a seperate light for services, then my car and model does not come with one

I did invest in an impact driver but it was only a JIS screwdriver, I need to get one with multi attachments. I learnt this the hard way when I ended up stripping one of the threads on the sidecase

Haha very funny. My motorcycle helmet has a moustache printed on the front, hence where the idea of the name comes from

The durable kind
