Three cylinder two stroke Zuk

Radd Cruisers · 08-31-2004, 06:22 PM

The kid who worked for me this summer picked up another Suzuki......

Tried to drag him over to the dark side of cruisers.

I must admit its pretty kooooool.

That thing's awesome!

bigstevo · 09-01-2004, 04:29 AM

Sweet

(is that a boat seat & fuel tank??)

WindRider · 09-01-2004, 08:10 AM

Any pictures of the motor, and is it four wheel drive?

shmoesmith · 09-01-2004, 08:36 AM

is that an icecream selection on the glovebox?????? better go get my flame retardant underwear on now

What your friend has there is an LJ50 if it's got a 3 cylinder 2 stroke, must be a 1976 or later. These were never imported to the U.S. and we will most likely never see one. You can find lots of specs and details here http://www.lj10.com/

That thing is pretty cool, I have two 1972 LJ20's convertibles and they are a trip. You can fit one in the back of a pickup!

A lot of people bypass the factory gas tank and oil injection setup on the 2 strokes which appears to be the case here. I've seen people put a 1 gallon container under the hood before with premix.

zuknstien · 09-01-2004, 09:56 AM

I never trusted the oil injection on older motor cycles there is no way I would trust it in rare suzuki with impossable to find parts

I wasn't gonna cast aspersions, but.....

LJ 50 Suzuki in rainbow cartoon letters on the glovebox door is flameworthy, I think

Philthy · 09-01-2004, 12:54 PM

I think they are fridge magnets?

lilzuk · 09-01-2004, 01:01 PM

The boat tank is there because the origional tank was removed sometime in its life so that is how I can drive around. And I still run straight gas because the technologically advanced suzuki CCI oil injection works awesome!

Also that peice of sh#% seat was there when I bought the truck, who knows where it came from. And yes those are fridge magnets that read Suzuki LJ50.

I did it. It worked. I had the tin top 72 and a soft top that was roted into the ground. I paid $200 for the two and got the tin top going in about an hour. They wern't in bad shape connsidering they were up here in Michigan sitting in a feild for ten years. But there fun.

Re: two stroke smokers

Where the hell are you guys when we need you?

I got myself fawking eaten alive by noseeums on the Island a couple months ago

ian_r · 09-01-2004, 05:56 PM

I saw that one in a parking lot the other day. It looked pretty sweet.

lilzuk · 09-01-2004, 06:32 PM

Yea the truck is in good shape considering it was sitting for like 20 years. We got it fired up and running within 10 minutes and hasnt had a dollar put into it yet to make it drivable. Since it was sitting it only has 5000 KM's on it and the drum brakes are still origional and they work great, and I dont have to worry about how long the engine will last.

Radd Cruisers · 09-01-2004, 07:23 PM

Sure is a clean little unit.

lilzuk · 09-01-2004, 11:04 PM

Here is a picture of how we got it home. Trailers? What are trailers when you own a zuk!

bgreen · 09-02-2004, 12:07 AM

hope this isnt too much of a hijack, but I have always wanted to put one of these engines in a sammy. 170 HP stock, and VERY light.

TruckTrader · 09-02-2004, 04:43 PM

It's a really nice pipe dream, but I bet those motors cost big bucks! I don't know much about snow mobiles - what do those engines cost? It would be tough to justify sticking one in a zuk unless you happened to have one laying around.

jollypirate · 09-02-2004, 11:14 PM

that-is-so-cool
