1980 Suzuki FZ50 Project - Part 18 - Finishing Up

[@richardjweeks]

Nice restoration. I love my Fz50 even though it's slow. Always gets comments and people stop for a chat about it. Best enjoyed on summer evenings pottering about.

[@davidcollins1853]

Enjoyed the series. Wow! you discovered how much fun they are.

Looks and sound great I just acquired mine a couple days ago so I’m at the beginning but mine has most the parts in ok shape just not running. I will be posting videos.. check them out

[@jesperpedersen1423]

In Denmark the fz50 was sold until 1999. And still alot of parts availebel. But in denmark it only have 1 gear with automatik clutch. And restricted to 30 km/h

[@Volkslady]

What beautiful results! I really hope to have one someday; back in ‘79, I was doing a paper route to save up for an FZ-50, but then my family moved to the boondocks in TX, so I got a horse instead. I haven’t given up hope yet, though! Great to see this nice, nice job restoring yours!

[@TheEPROM9]

Who would have thought a restoration would have given the bike a Technicolour ability.

[@nastynatesscooters9896]

Those engine covers are in nice shape! Did you restore them? Or just took care of them?

[@Mister...H]

congrats. It was a big step to ride it. paint it white

[@N2tech]

That was wild the way it turned blue at the end. It would look good red or blue.

[@bbishoppcm]

Yeah, my camera kinda went nutz...

[@bbishoppcm]

No, I may be camera shopping soon.

Hi Loving the videos. Im just about to start my first project, a fz50. I need quite a few items, but in england i cant source any plastics! Have you got a link you could send me please? Steve

[@1marcelfilms]

Thats very beautiful. on my moped i went the complete opposite way where i do nothing to it beside driving it 😂

[@euphoria_7477]

Great job dude! Obviously you have a skill to fall back on.

[@jackrutherford-1]

Congratulations! Looks great!

[@stevefirkins1806]

Oh, and an air box/filter 👍

[@stiannornes9708]

thank you for explaining it to the carburetor, but I wondered which nozzle you use because I use 67 nozzle in mine with 45mm cylinder kit and it goes very well

[@bbishoppcm]

Yeah, I need to jet this thing. Exactly where did you get this nozzle?

[@jackrutherford-1]

"one of the great things about the fz50 is that the choke is a fuel enrighment choke and not a air restrictor. That allows you to jet the bike to run well @ low speeds and engage the choke @ very high speeds to prevent running lean. also makes it very easy to jet the bike." temporary fix

[@aaronblair9583]

you'll need mikuni vm jets, i believe treats has them....could also just buy a set of jet drill bits. Find the one that fits and go a size or two up, and if that turns out to be too rich solder the hole shut and re-drill the original... i like the stock exhaust look as well, its a shame that stock looking expansion chambers dont seem to be a thing because paired with you bike it would probably be a screamer.. www.mopedarmy.com/wiki/Performance_Tuning_a_Suzuki
