1974 Suzuki T500 ABANDONED in the JUNKYARD - Getting it to Run Again (Our Biggest Challenge so far!)

@@ResurrectedGarage Brother, you could at least protect the cylinder liners when you welded that nut onto the broken bolt of the exhaust port, don't you think ? So, that any balls from the welding would not fall into the other ports/canals, to later jump out of the port, up to the head+cylinder liner, to not do any more damage 2 the cylinder/piston, don't you think ? Thank you 4 the video.

Bought a brand new T500 in 1972 if I remember right. Loved it. Rode it from Los Angeles to Jacksonville, Florida in 3 days flat! That bike was amazing at high speed for hours on end. ,

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Wow! That's impressive! What a cool story!

[@muddysuzuki992]

A great iconic bike worthy of restoration

[@markianclark9645]

muddysuzuki worthy in 2024...it comes under classic 2-strokes now...i couldn't give my GT500A away back in 1991...it was the newer version of this with electronic ignition as standard and disc brake...i tuned it...well...the dealer did...i fitted it...noisy screaming pipes...went well over a hundred at least till i melted a piston...never did get the jetting correct after engine build...was worthless 33 years ago...still...i had some serious mileage on it...don't see these strokers anymore...wouldn't meet emission restrictions in most countries

Rule of thumb to keep in mind on every restore project "Heat is your Friend". Keep up the good work.

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Yes! We used a lot of heat in different areas on the bike getting stuff freed up. Thank you!

50/50 mixture of Acetone and A.T.F. works excellent for rings rusted/fused in cylinder sleeves. Good job on the puller, I have a similar slightly more elaborate setup that I've used several times over the years. I often get motorcycles to restore that have been literally under water for weeks after our Florida hurricanes. Like life itself it's often about prayer and patience.

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Thanks, we used a combination of a various chemicals and heat. Yes! Countless hours of patience and persistence that paid off in the end.

[@malcolmborne]

It may have been built in late '74 but that is a 1975 model year T500 (T500M). Last year for the T500 before the cosmetically restyled GT500 debuted with a front disc brake for '76. In the US the color is called Coronado blue. This striking color along with the gold pinstripes on the tank are hallmarks of the 1975 T500. Side note - the T500M didn't come from the factory with the rear passenger grab rail... Probably a cost cutting measure but I think it looks good without it. I own a very low mileage all original (right down to the IRC Inoue tires) T500M myself. Awesome find and glad it gets a second chance at life! 👍 Edit: The front tire appears to be the original one. These were called the T500 Titan. Excellent bikes and really fun to ride!

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Thanks for the info! Oh wow! I'm sure it is beautiful! Thank you :-)

[@adotintheshark4848]

I bought one brand new, for the price of $1160. The store I bought it from still exists except in a different building. Also, the Titan was proof, that a reliable larger two-stroke bike could be built, as the first Titan was made in 1968.

[@TroyRosenbaugh]

My hobby became a business, before I retired from the Air Force I attended MMI. My OHV shop does pretty well, spring summer and fall anyway. In the Winter, I get snowmobiles in a bunch, summer, jet ski's bikes and quads. We're strictly a service and repair shop. We have done occasional restorations, old vintage MX stuff.

[@davido.newell4566]

Wahoo! After several English motorcycles of various types, I acquired a Titan back in about 1975 or so.. I was used to bikes that were hard to start and leaked oil.. what a pleasant surprise to have one that didn't either of those bad things. My emerald green Titan was a fine bike and I remember it fondly.

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Thanks! Very cool! That's a hard thing to accomplish on the old bikes! All of old motorcycles leak oil - especially Daniel's '77 Harley.

[@PXCMEDIA]

Wow that is actually in good condition to say its been sitting there probably for a long time ...if that was here in the UK there would be nothing left of it 😬

That bike is a survivor. Needs to be restored and ridden hard. Two strokes, 2 and 3 cylinders are dinosaurs. They are the best in street and strip. Ask Kenny Roberts.

[@fizzyridertoo]

The T500 and GT500 were never meant to be ridden hard and definitely not on a strip. They were slow old touring bikes, even back in the 70s.

[@mikedench]

Thanks so much from an old (76yrs) T500 fan, I had it when it first came out in the UK and then another when I came over here and of all the bikes I've ever owned or ridden that T500 is the best. Reliable, as fast as anyone needs, dead easy to maintain and tweak (I followed Gordon Jennings advice from Cycle world and replaced the coils and condensers with car parts). I haven't enjoyed any video so much in ages because I knew exactly what was going on and kept shouting advice as you worked on the bike! Loved it and so of course I subscribed and gave it a thumbs up. Keep up the good work. Mike

[@catmandubh]

I agree, It is a great bike I know because I owned a 78 GT model, basically the same as the T model but with some upgrades like disc brakes I think.

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Thanks Mike! We are pretty excited to ride it and see what we think about it.

[@TroyRosenbaugh]

Internally it's clapped out with rust.. always are. Soak, soak soak. Pull apart soak clean up and repair. Had to do that with the one we rebuilt.get chain off it so you won't have to deal with that later. Probably rusted solid.

Yep. They were fast yet tractable compared to the Kawasaki triples and also handled better. Beautifully proportioned too. Good ones now up to 5K

[@johndonlon1611]

The Suzuki 500 Titan is a nifty, well-made bike that is faster than stink. It was one of four (if memory serves me right) two-cylinder two-strokes in the Suzuki lineup and Suzuki sold them by the boatload. Parts and manuals are available. I really hope you get this machine roadworthy as it looks like a "throwaway," rather than wrecked. Some people should't be allowed to own anything. Go get 'em! Thanks for sharing.

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Wow! We just sold this one at the Barber Swap Meet and was able to find another one to replace it with. We are excited to get another one going and hopefully will be able to ride this one down the road (it has a fuel tank that is in much better shape).

[@rogerrpickens-3727]

Had one back in the day. Aircooled only. After about two hours riding it would overheat and loose half its power. Then you would have to park it and let it cool down. No problem in the winter though .

Still helping him find parts he needs but it's getting closer to done wants it road worthy by summer. Beautiful, same bike as that one.

westport here . thank you for the show. funny story,ent to cager some 40 yrs ago. and we would bet on how long a motor would all out no oil. this 140 six ran out of gas. and set there all night. i won or lost what everway you want to look at it so i had to grage it home. can't leave trash behind. cans bottles cups. and the car. for laughs i put a battery in a car that ran full throttle for over and hour, no oil. it took me back and forth to work for a year. a year. then gave it to my sis. and her hubby gave it new life. got nothing bad to say about 140s. just like that bike. some models are just that way

Honestly I’m surprised that the crank seals held any pressure or vacuum. I do a lot of the same type of stuff, mostly atv but recently been shifting over to motorcycles. I try to inspire people to fix the old rather than buy new, but often the machine will never be reliable without some new parts. In the case of this bike, a lot of new parts.

Thats How I get Brake calipers unstuck, I get all kinds of motors ,unstuck, Get a 55 gallon drum, Fill with waste oil Bring it to boil, and lower the motor in oil for 2-3 days and I free them all up, I took a Buick 401 nail head that was Buried underground 25 years, Boiled 4 days , everything was free

Great job guys! Really encouraging. The bike I want may be found in a junkyard. Is there a list of bike junkyards? If so I want to find it.

Thank you! We know there is one in Alabama and have heard talk up some up north. We haven't personally been to any of them yet but it is on our Wishlist.
