but now I also have got 1402 cc.
In addtion to my XJR (just 1250cc :imrgreen:), CBF600N and a BMW airhead. All naked :)
In the past I also drove RD250, 2x RD400, XS850 and a GSX1100G bought new in 1993
The GSX has had only one owner and currently has 20k kms
The bike is currently not yet in acceptable condition but was quite cheap. And I am sure I can wake her up
Result of the first cleaning session:

One rear shock is leaking.
At least it has low mileage and the previous owner had already put brand new tyres, chain and sprockets and the fork has been serviced.
And: I am based in South Western Germany
Cheers
Welcome erbas! Looks like you have quite a cleaning job on your hands, would be good to run a thread so you can keep us up to date with progress until we can see your 14 in all her glory again!

To all things 1402
You have found the right place for help and advice .
Just have a good look around and ask if you get stuck.
Good luck with your bike as at 20kms it's just freeing up nicely.
Pictures of your progress would be good.
Great part of the world your in .
Enjoy

I think of one of the next things to do is to check the sprocket bearing. :onya:
Welcome - Croeso :)
Welcome Mate. You sure have some cleaning to do but will come up great. Soak those exhaust bits with toilet cleaner, Harpic might be name. Get inside that collector pipe, i did yrs ago, grind out all sharp edges, let that exhaust flow. Piccys please.
Hi and Welcome :cheers:
Welcome Erbas !
Welcome to the forum Erbas. :onya: Naked is the only way to go :salute:
Welcome Erbas, looks like a serious project, what's your timeline for getting it done?
Cheers

She needs paint, which I can not do myself. This includes the frame. Next challenge can be seen in the middle of the pic

After replacing the exhaust system by original used parts, bring her back on the road. Pass German MOT in July. Then take the decision if to completly strip down. We'll see
The bike how I purchased her.

Not completely clear in the picture but is that a dreaded snapped header bolt?
She doen't look to bad on the face of it but you never know what's lurking underneath!
Good luck with it

Dreaded downpipe screw. For me this is not DIY. If I tried, IT would become worse. It is in a garage to get it fixed
