Cheers guys,
bought this one off EBay and it came from Sandhurst, was in need of a tidy but the good thing was it came with all original bits and is fitted with 440 big bore conversion and Keihin flat slide carb.
Needs the fork oil seals done so may have it off the road a couple of days till I get them fitted.
It is pretty noisy but dont want to restrict the exhaust too much lol

Ron

Hi,
I have just purchased a rather tatty Goose after seeing your really nice example.
Now comes the problems.
Can I find a service manual for it at all?
Been looking for weeks online and phoning round dealers. Zero success.
There used to be a website www.suzukigoose.co.uk that had all the manuals to download.
Unfortunately this no longer is running.
Can any of you guys help me out in locating a Service Manual so I can start and strip the bike back, get it sprayed and rebuilt?
Regards
Greg

Hi, welcome to the madhouse!

I think the Goose used the same engine as the DR350, if so you can get a PDF copy of the DR350 Service manual here.

Not sure where you would get a full workshop manual from though.  Hope this helps a bit.

Lovely looking machines these, IMHO. And I agree, that its a DR350 engine  ;)
