Suzuki Samurai Jx 4x4 1988.5 on 2040-cars
Moody, Alabama, United States
|
Up for auction is a nice 1988.5 samurai. Most of this Sammy's life was spent behind a motor home. This Sammy has never been off pavement. There is no rust that I have found anywhere on this vehicle. There is a dent in front left side of bumper from tow bar (see pic) also some sort of touch up paint has been applied under the handle on rear tailgate door, also see pic. There is a few minor scratches on vehicle that are expected for a vehicle of this age. The motor runs out great with no smoke what so ever, engine cranks very quickly and easy even in cold weather. Every seal and gasket has been replaced on motor within the last 800 miles along with timing belt,idler pulley, plugs,wires,distributor cap,Venturi tube in carb,fuel pump etc. (have all receipts) has new factory style/size white wall tires, new top with tinted windows on top, ( have original factory top from 1988 as well) , new brakes, steering stabilizer, poly bushing for shifter in transmission and transfer case, pioneer CD player, 2" trailer hitch receiver, spare tire mounted on tailgate with cover, front (bra) used when towed behind motor home, has back seat that also folds up or can be removed, has all original factory carpet. Seats have covers over them due to thread in original seat covering seems have turned loose. The small door on dash above vent is missing, and plastic hinge on glove box is broke. Underneath Sammy is all factory original, it still has the factory paint on underside of body and frame that matches the outside of body( very rare to see now days) Also have rebuild kit for transmission and transfer case,new clutch, and a new flywheel. I bought all this thinking it needed to be rebuilt due to a whining noise, turns out the noise was water pump and timing belt tensioner and I never returned these parts. The transmission,transfer case and clutch are all quite,tight and in perfect operating order. Vehicle runs well enough to drive across country but is speed demon, 65-70 is all Sammy will do safely, or with me driving it anyway.it is getting around 28 mpg around town, cost around $21 to fill up. Chrome beauty rings on wheels do have a bit of old surface rust on them. **** bike rack not included**** ****for sale locally, so reserve right to cancel at anytime**** ****Please ask any questions because I am sure I forgot something, only dumb question is the one you never ask**** **** buyer responsible for pick up or shipping arrangements, I will help any way I can**** |

Drive pits Ariel Nomad against Suzuki bike
Thu, Oct 1 2015Ariel introduced the Nomad at the beginning of the year, which is basically an Atom converted to sand-rail duty with the addition of features like a composite cage and waterproof cockpit, Hella light bar, and Ohlins suspension with hydraulic bump stops. Evo reviewed it not long after, now Drive has got hold of it and put Steve Sutcliffe at the wheel, sending him to the Sweet Lamb Rally Center in Wales. The Nomad in this guise also gets a winch and BF Goodrich tires with a rear high-mounted spare. The motor is a US-spec, 2.4-liter Honda unit tuned to 240 horsepower and 235 pound-feet of torque, all going to the rear wheels only. The weight is just 1,477 pounds. For kicks, they sent Northern Irish motocrosser Graeme Irwin along to give Sutcliffe a point of reference. We're used to seeing cars battle bikes, and unless it's wet or the race goes to beyond 200 miles per hour the bike almost always takes it. Irwin was on his Suzuki RMZ-450, a bike with about 60 hp, but that, combined with Irwin's skills, was plenty enough to keep Sutcliffe hard at work. You can watch the dust fly in the video above.

Suzuki calls in 26,000 Daewoo-built Veronas for overheating lights
Wed, 30 Jul 2014Suzuki is recalling yet another Daewoo-built model due to possible problems with the daytime running light module in the instrument panel. This time it covers about 25,899 units of the Suzuki Verona from the 2004 through 2006 model years that need fixing. Like the repair campaign of the Forenza and Reno in May, it's possible for the part to overheat, melt and potentially cause a fire.
According to the Chronology of Principal Events section in the defect notice submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, this recall was actually a direct result of the Forenza/Reno campaign. After finding the problem in those vehicles, General Motors Korea started investigating for more affected models and discovered that the Verona was also at risk. However, the report says that no cases of melting or fires have been found in the Verona.
Obviously, Suzuki will be notifying affected owners and will replace the DRL module free of charge. Scroll down to read the recall request or check out the full defect notice in PDF format, here.
Suzuki back in MotoGP for 2015
Tue, 18 Jun 2013It had been planned for 2014 but it's going to be 2015 instead - that's when Suzuki returns to the manufacturer ranks of MotoGP after quitting the series at the end of 2011 because of The Great Recession. When Suzuki stopped after 37 continuous years of racing, it said it intended to return three years later and it has been in talks with MotoGP's rights holder, Dorna Sports, since last year. No doubt, though, that fan anticipation of the team's return outdoes any dismay at the delay. It will join Yamaha, Honda and Ducati in the premiere league.
Its bike has already been testing in Japan and was with the official MotoGP tribe in Barcelona, Spain on Monday when Suzuki announced its return. It's said the development bike is called the XRH-1, being ridden by official tester Randy de Puniet (who currently races in MotoGP on an Aprilia-based bike with TeamAspar). and after a day of testing de Puniet got the new Suzuki to within seven-tenths of a second of the top time posted by other MotoGP teams. Davide Brivio, who once ran the Fiat-Yamaha team and has been close with Valentino Rossi, will be the team manager.
Speaking of Rossi, The Doctor is back with Fiat-Yamaha after a bad run with Ducati but is only contracted to the end of 2014. Brivio is the man who got Rossi to join Fiat-Yamaha, then got him to Ducati. Until he took the head of Suzuki's works effort, Brivio was working with Rossi's VR46 management company, heading areas like merchandising. The rumormill has already begun its work, with folks wondering if Rossi will head to Suzuki in 2015 if his second stint at Yamaha doesn't prove fruitful before then.
