I picked up this 96 Suzuki RF900. It was last insured in 2010.... I thought I would be going though the fuel system, cleaning seized brake pistons etc... The tank was nice and clean inside, added some fuel and it started and idled nice. Only issue at this point is the clutch slave is gummed up causing the clutch to slip like the chains broke. I will take that apart and clean, new fluids and hopefully all is good.

When we met on Saturday I meant to ask what you were working on.  Looks like an easy project.  Is it carbureted?

Nice catch.  A bit less extreme to ride than the GSXR models.  Good reputation for reliability.

According to the Wisconsin guide, those are fetching more than the GSX-Rs.

 I transferred it today and found the transfer form from the guy I bought it off of. He bought it in 2015 so it hasn't sat idle as long as I thought.
