 For sale is a 1988 Suzuki Samurai with a 16valve 1.6 litre fuel injected engine, 5 speed transmission, and 4x4.  Ive owned this samurai since April of 2012.  I installed the 16 valve motor in it using trail tough adapter kit motor mounts, and sent off my wiring harness and had it adapted as well as the instrument cluster. The fuel pump was also adapted into the samurai fuel tank so you don't have to listen to the noisy aftermarket ones.  The engine was from a 1996 Suzuki Sidekick and at that time showed 60k miles.  I have put roughly 4k more on it since then.  I also swapped the power steering out of the sidekick as well.  It has a spring over lift, and at the time of the power steering upgrade I added trail tough high steer kit.  The transfercase has lowrange offroad 4.16 to 1 gears and a Mighty Kong skid plate.  The rear axle is locked with a Lockrite locker, and also I will be throwing in a Lockrite for the front already installed in a third member with 26 spline chromoly axles.  The paint was professionally done last year I used the paint code from a new jeep wrangler(burnt orange) with new weather stripping around doors and windows, as well as the interior floor professionally bedlinered.  When I had it painted I also put a new windshield in a new top, and black powder coated diamond plate interior panels.  There is a gun rack mounted on the tailgate (4 screws and its off).  Included in the sale is the rear seat which needs recovered, and seat belts, misc. spare parts ive accumulated (too many to list), and a spare body with no title but has good doors, axles, and windshield.  I know I have forgot something, but  I would not be afraid to drive this samurai anywhere.  I built it to use but not abuse.  If you have any questions call me or message me and I will get back to you as soon as possible, Thanks Riley (256) 572 965.  No calls after 10 pm

Land-speed racer Bill Warner dies from motorcycle crash at 285 MPH

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

Motorcycle land-speed record holder Bill Warner died yesterday after crashing during an attempt at setting another record. The 44-year-old was clocked at 285 miles per hour on the runway of a former air base in northern Maine, before he lost control of his modified Suzuki Hayabusa motorcycle and veered off the runway.
It is not known what speed he was traveling when things started to go wrong and unclear what caused the crash, which happened shortly before 10:00 AM. Warner's crew suspect there were mechanical difficulties on his last run, in addition to a slight breeze, according to the video news report. Warner was conscious and able to speak after the crash but died an hour and 15 minutes later at a hospital in Caribou. The event and runway were closed for the rest of the day as police investigated the incident.
Warner was participating in "The Maine Event" at Loring Air Force Base in an attempt to reach 300 mph in one mile. Warner's best land-speed record, set in 2011, was 311.945 mph in 1.5 miles on the same runway, according to the Loring Timing Association, a record that still stands today for open-cockpit motorcycles. After that run, Warner said the scariest part was stopping the bike before the end of the runway. Be sure to check out the video news report after the jump.

Suzuki reopens India plant post-riot with police outnumbering workers

Fri, 24 Aug 2012

Suzuki's plant in Manesar, India builds cars for Australia, specifically its Alto small car. Or at least they were building cars before violent worker riots forced the factory to close. The plant has been idled for five weeks as a result of worker violence that led to the death of one manager and 95 injuries. The riot was spurred over a labor dispute - specifically, a gulf in salaries between temporary workers and their salaried counterparts who earn triple the contract workers' wages.
According to reports, on Tuesday, the factory re-opened with more than 1,200 police officers stationed around the plant. The staff of actual workers at the plant numbers just 75 currently, meaning the police force greatly outnumbers Suzuki employees.
The number of employees will eventually grow to 300, and the officers will run in shifts of 100 at a time, but the initial disparity of workers to police is meant as a show of force to the more than 500 permanent and 500 temporary workers who were found to be involved in a July 18 riot.

Suzuki recalling 23k GSX-R750 and GSX-R1000 bikes to replace chain adjuster

Sat, 18 Oct 2014

Suzuki is known for having a pair of very capable sportbikes in its GSX-R750 and GSXR-1000, but now the Japanese company is recalling 23,073 of them in the US to replace the chain adjuster. Specifically, the campaign affects 2011-2014 model year versions of the 750 and the 2009-2014 1000.
According to documents from The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the problem can occur if riders miss a gear while upshifting. It's possible that the following shift might put enough added strain on the drivetrain to move the rear axle. This can damage the left-side chain adjuster. If there's too much harm done to the part, then the chain could potentially slip off the bike, leaving the powerless bike more vulnerable to a crash.
To fix the problem, Suzuki dealers will "replace the left-side adjuster with an improved part" that will be heat-treated to be stronger. Scroll down to read the full recall report.
