ok, added in my address, I'm in SUllivan County NY. The bike is a '03, has no modifications, everything is stock i bought it off a guy this January with 2900 miles on it, he bought it for his wife, but she since decided she liked riding on the back of his bike better. He claims he used to take it out for a few short rides a year to make sure it ran, told me it had a oil leak, I noticed it was overfilled on oil, the oil was leaking out somewhere from up under the gas tank, but now that it has the proper amount of oil in it, it doesn't appear to be leaking ( would only leak when hot). I had a issue with the petcock, but I pulled that apart and cleaned it and it's worked fine since then, I changed the oil and the brakes this year before I rode it, threw some seafoam into the tank and it did a good job helping clean it up, had alot of smoke coming out and idles much better now, he claimed he changed the spark plug last riding season, so I havn't changed that yet, it fires up every time no problem, but the backfire problem is pretty bad, no cop has given me a ticket yet, as I work for FDNY they've extended me a professional courtesy. I havn't seen cops give tickets for the exhaust being too loud, but it's been described to me by people as sounding like a shot gun going off everytime I let off the accelerator, so that may be why he's starting to get a little aggrivated, but to take it to a shop is so expensive. Evereything is stock though, still all has the Suzuki labeling on it, if you want part numbers I can probably get those later on certain things, my side job is a HVAC mechanic so I have mechanical ability just dont know what I'm looking at when it comes to a bike, but I really wanna learn.
