Tips & tricks
After many years of experience with 2-stroke engines, especially the Suzuki T and GT series, we share our tips and tricks here. After an engine rebuild you sometimes need to check a few things yourself after some miles; you'll find the information for that here. If you can't do it yourself, we're happy to do it for you in the workshop.
