GOOSE





I built this little Suzuki Goose in 2005. A grey import with DR350 mechanicals they were renowned for superb handling but were a bit gutless. Among other things i rebuilt the motor with a 440cc piston and liner which together with a Web competition cam and a bit of a porting job on the head made for a load of fun.

Woah! Lovely Goose! Don't suppose you still have it, do you? I run www.suzukigoose.co.uk and I'm trying to gather as much info/bits as I can to help out other Goose owners. Waht tuning did you do on the carb? Did you manage to junk that awful airbox?

Sold it im afraid, as i tend to do. It was great fun and sounded mental, i just put a ram pipe on the standard carb and had it set up on a dyno. 48bhp if i remember rightly. it was on ebay about 9 months (ish) ago, didnt make a lot as i remember.

Interesting - I stuck a cone filter on, and the engine wouldn't rev out as the carb seemed to need still air to operate properly due to it being CV. I even played with the jetting - how far out was it when you put the ram pipe on, or did the dyno guys do everything?
