I have a 2001 Suzuki Bandit that I have been working on as a project bike I bought it from a friend who laid it down. It had been sitting for about 2 years. I started working on it last summer and fixed the wiring issues. I installed a new motor, I don't know how many miles was on the motor I know it was relatively low and it has a brand new clutch the bike has about 5500 miles on the odometer. Since it has been sitting for a while the carbs need to be cleaned and adjusted. It makes it very hard to start, I did have the bike running last summer and rode it around my yard and it was fine once it started. I installed a set of fog lights for headlights and used a set of turn signals off of another bike, these both work. It does not need very much and most of the parts can be purchased on eBay for cheap. It will need a set of chain adjusters, the handlebars are slightly bent, the instrument cluster is cracked but still works, a front fender, you may want to get some more significant headlights, and some of the plastics are cracked/broken. This bike would be excellent for a fixer upper or beginner bike. The title is clear. If you have any other question please feel free to ask. I am located in Martinsburg, WV. Thanks.
