@@mcycleshawn yes sir, I have had my 86 for about a year now. The only negative is the battery location, makes it a pain to remove and reinstall (worst design ever!). Hope to see you get it up and running.... injoy the ride!

Battery location! Yes!!! I was very surprised to find it down there!! 😂 I’m sure it was due to wanting a low seat height and they noticed.....”Hey! There is an empty spot down there!!”

I have a 1992 vs800. I bought it 5 years ago with just 1500 miles on it. I've put on around 8000. It has been the most problematic bike I've owned in 40 years. It is running pretty good right now but no way would I have bought it had I known how much trouble it would be. The worst design flaw in it is the location of the battery. It has caused me countless hours of grief.

Wow! Was it a mess when you bought it? I have wondered about where that battery is. Does it corpse easily?

Scratch that. Slight differences. Mines later in 85 tho so probably just made the cut for 86

@@mcycleshawn The bike needs to be jacked up and the fact you need to do so unlike a normal bike which is side panel off and away most suzuki didn't originality have tbe key lock like later models do Why take the battery to disable some of the suzuki alarm units On the subject of labeling the intruder has parts of the cradle frame removable to help remove the engine these have the habit of rusting out if not maintained so i think that is why somany labels

Heh ;) actually there are specs for adjusting the valve lifters or tepetts whatever people want to call them. Fairly easy. But if you need to get in deep, ya may wanna look that up. Just rebuilt an 86 from the frame up last year. Not wise for a first rebuild but im stubborn so it was a match made in hell.. 😜
