I really liked the Stinger when it first came out as a 1969 model and I was all of 14 years old. Of course, I quickly became more interested in bikes like the Honda CB750 and the Kawasaki H1 Mach III 500. Those were the days !
My mate had a stinger on the fields back in 1981. It was dog rough but went like the clappers, I had a Honda cd175 with sawed off exhausts...sounded like thunder! Misspent youth but fun at the time
Verry nice restauration! I have been the proud owner of my Suzuki T 125 Stiner from 1971 since 1975. Since 1984 the machine stood in my mother's garage for over 30 years until a friend of mine brought the Suzuki back to life. It runs well up to 4000 revolutions, but unfortunately it doesn't go beyond that. Unfortunately we are missing some parts on the carburettor. These are, on the one hand, two pilot jets (part number 28 of the carburettor illustration) and, on the other hand, the lower cover of the float chamber (a part is missing). Do any of you have the parts described above or know where you can buy them? Many thanks for your help!
Thanks for the comment. Sorry, we don't know too much about the Stringer, nor have contacts for parts. It was a lovely bike and we had an opportunity to look around and ride it around the yard.
@@MotorcycleFettlers I removed the cylinder head and made it more flat at the inside of the head in an attempt to get higher compression and more power.It helped a bit.But it could have been disastrous for the engine.

They were the days. I love two-strokes (and the CB750). The Stinger was a lovely thing.

It was a rapid little thing, for it's size. Ah...the CD175...

How much for your Suzuki stinger? How much do you want for that?
If I was to buy one of these in same condition as yours for £4500 is it worth the price
It's got 1650 on the clock
This was not ourt bike, Charlie was just kind enough to let us take it out. oxfordclassicmotorcycles.co.uk/bikedetail.aspx?bike=5398
I have owned one.The same colour,green.My friend had a Yamaha AS 3,and his bike was faster.More aggressiv.So I tried to fix that...
You'll have to let us know how you tried to fix it...

You're braver than me! Good luck.
