Since then, I've been looking for a diesel-bike.
The funny thing is, there is seldom any for sale in Sweden.
This must be an un-developed country
And, how come that the big Japanese factories like Yamaha, Honda , Suzuki and others have not realized that eco-diesel is the future ? I am amazed.
I used to ride a single cylinder 650 Suzuki before. Great machine. Would be great to have a dieselversion...
I have been looking at the Dieselwiesel, the German Suzuki-based bike you all know, but for my strictly limited purse, I cannot afford one.
Traded a sculpture of wrought iron (my profession) for a Suzuki GZ 125cc. And bought a 406cc dieselengine. Thought I could build it from there...but - no.
The problem is the gearbox, of course. The dieselwieseltem use the original Suzuki gearbox. Ok, so you have to cut the engine !
I think there is no way I can do that myself, (as we all know, the oil has to stay IN the box) never welded alu before...
I'm stuck with the project. (Does it sound familiar to many of us ?)
Anyone who has a Dieselwiesel gerabox-assembly in the corner of the garage ?
I mailed the Dieselwieselteam, and asked if I could buy a gearbox, but no answer so far...
Anyway, great forum ! Thanks to the founder and the moderators, keep up the good work !
All good things, Peter
