Re: My Suzi T500 Project
I grew up in the L.A. area but the family moved out of state when I was in high school. I moved back to the state some years ago and settled in the Bay Area. I live in the Santa Cruz Mountains with excellent riding starting as I exit my driveway.
Suzuki's own X6 Hustler was a rather highly tuned 250 in the same era as the Titan. The Hustler when compared to the Titan was just a little slower despite being half the displacement. I think there is easy HP available locked up in those huge cylinders.

I have heard that stock, the T500 is a very mellow bike, hence my desire to port the cylinders. It sounds like Suzuki were very restrained as far as engine performance goes when they manufactured this bike when compared to say the RD350 Yamahas. As far as tuning is concerned and from my research Zooke is the guy to go to. Unfortunately it will be a while before I get to the point of being able to ride the bike with my newly ported motor. For now I will just have to admire it sitting on the bench!
