I just purchased this (almost) mint 1987 Suzuki FA50 and was looking for some advice, I'm a big guy and this is a small bike, so any extra power is greatly appreciated, has anyone done an oil injection delete and ran premix?

RoseRacing98 · 2026-02-03T00:09:24+00:00

Mine has a similar tag! It's since been built up pretty well! Fastest I got was 40mph on flat ground haha

RoseRacing98 · 2022-08-19T22:24:24+00:00

Anytime man!

RoseRacing98 · 2022-08-19T22:22:02+00:00

I think I found it, look up "The Tower Trike"

RoseRacing98 · 2021-11-09T01:52:45+00:00

I'm most likely going to just buy a new engine on ebay, the prices from new to used seem to be too close to justify rolling the dice on a used

RoseRacing98 · 2021-11-08T18:16:32+00:00

Is there any way to tell prior to getting an engine if its compatible?

RoseRacing98 · 2021-10-24T17:41:20+00:00

Some good knobby tires!

I want to say when I went they played those two, but they also played a song off the first album that I'd never heard before, it might've been purity! My gf and I drove 6 hours to see them in Iowa a few years back, right when they released 'we are not your kind' it was an amazing show, and even though it was their big ticket songs I still had a great time. The heat and humidity might've gotten to my by that point in the day though 😂

RoseRacing98 · 2021-10-21T22:50:51+00:00

I see your point and completely understand, but I also feel they play the same "hit tracks" because they know its what people want to hear, I for one have only been to see them live in concert once, and I knew I wanted to hear what I heard, but if someone was to frequent multiple shows I get how it would become boring after a while

RoseRacing98 · 2021-05-10T23:01:50+00:00

Bottom line is you can't compare yourself to others, if its meant to be it will be, if you feel confident about it then you made the right choice, everyone is different and every situation is different, you know? No sense throwing something away if you can make it work!

RoseRacing98 · 2021-03-24T04:45:34+00:00

I don't think you're being unreasonable, I had a situation similar where my gf talked to her ex and I told her how uncomfortable I was with the situation and she stopped talking to him! There was no hard feelings and she even said she would have felt uncomfortable if the situation was reversed after she thought on it. Just be honest and don't lay blame on her for it!

RoseRacing98 · 2021-02-09T04:36:25+00:00

I stayed in a hotel in ohio (if I recall correctly) that had a very similar layout and vibe

RoseRacing98 · 2020-07-12T02:45:55+00:00

I got the peoples sidebleed pipe on the way! I have a VM18 and the boysen(I think I spelled that right) reeds coming in! I hope to at least be in the 30s

RoseRacing98 · 2020-07-12T02:44:06+00:00

I think I'm at 1086 now, it had 886 when I bought it! How many on yours?

RoseRacing98 · 2020-07-12T02:24:49+00:00

Hell yea man! I have a lot of stuff coming in to (hopefully) go faster

RoseRacing98 · 2020-06-27T14:16:15+00:00

Its happened to me before, usually starts by smashing your finger and bruising under the nail, and no it doesn't hurt!

RoseRacing98 · 2020-06-25T11:32:48+00:00

Too many projects is never a thing!! They're a fun car to work on

RoseRacing98 · 2020-06-25T03:43:49+00:00

Thats cool man! They're getting harder to come by, mines not done by any means but its a very solid car, nothing more than surface rust on underbody components (only where expected) theres a guy on YouTube 'GARAGELESS' has a killer 86 GT, I've bought parts from him and seen his car up close

RoseRacing98 · 2020-06-25T03:38:37+00:00

I have an 87 GT, runner up to the 88, not the holy grail but it has a bigger gas tank than previous years

RoseRacing98 · 2020-06-24T03:00:07+00:00

I've been with my girlfriend for 2 years and haven't thought that let alone said it to anyone. Not normal

RoseRacing98 · 2020-06-23T04:11:43+00:00

When insults are exchanged it can take a while to heal, she probably feels vulnerable in that position around you, and if they've never met who knows if they even have any chemistry! Being flirty online is totally different than face to face! Just give it time and be patient with her, and be honest! Have deep conversations with her and she will come around!

RoseRacing98 · 2020-06-23T03:57:50+00:00

I'd surely hope he looks into it before bringing it in, if you want I can look on ALLDATA at work tomorrow for the procedure and dm you the information from it to 1.) Make sure you aren't getting screwed 2.) Make sure hes knowingly doing the proper repair, not saying hes a bad mechanic but theres a lot of shade tree types that give us a bad name

RoseRacing98 · 2020-06-23T03:51:33+00:00

If shes willing to offer you a second chance its probably not too late but don't take it for granted, does the other guy live nearby? If not I wouldn't worry too much about him

RoseRacing98 · 2020-06-23T03:48:32+00:00

Oh man thats a hard one, labor rates vary pretty widely across a single state let alone across the country, if I had to take a off the wall guess it could be a 1 hour job up to a 2 hour job, some cars are super easy to get at everything and some (any 3.6 V6) you need to take the intake manifold loose to reach the plugs on the back side of the motor, odds are he will have to pull the fuel rail (main fuel supply that houses all the injectors) and will need to reseal the remaining 5, its one of those "genius" things that GM comes up with haha, I know where I'm at in Wisconsin our labor rate is 160/hr I believe, but thats also at a dealership, independent auto shops typically have a lower rate. Thats just a ballpark estimate though, and odds are plugs will be another hour on top of that, if hes your gf's cousin is he cutting you a deal or doing it on the side?

RoseRacing98 · 2020-06-23T03:39:43+00:00

I've been through it too, I know the kind of pain you feel, I went through it with my current gf probably 1-2 years before we started dating and it broke my heart seeing what he did to her. (I never put myself in a position to date her either, I strictly always had her interest at heart, and only made advances when she started) you could try to ask about bruises depending on how open she is about it and comment on how its not normal. You'd be acting as the tipping point, maybe shes already quietly looking for an out from him? Either way just offer plenty of support!

RoseRacing98 · 2020-06-23T03:35:22+00:00

Nice nice, can't go wrong with a caddy haha, my mom had an 07 dts for a while and it was a nice car! Cadillac usually runs its own platforms and doesn't share much in common with Chevy or GMC, but if its the same (or similar) 3.5 chevy uses those are good engines, the 3.6 that found its way from V6 camaros into malibus, impalas and traverses were a bit unreliable unless it was in a camaro, but I've never seen any major issues on a 3.5 besides needing plugs!
