For those who have been riding dirt bikes for the last umpteen years, I'm sure we fondly remember Suzuki's first big bore bike, the Suzuki TM 400 Cyclone. It had an ugodly ferocious hit somewhere in the mid-range that varied! It was believed that the powerband was dependent upon engine temperature, jetting configurations, daily PEI ignition performance variations and the alignment of the planets with undiscovered galaxies. This adventuresome engine performance was lodged in a frame that lacked any well considered engineering thought.

Clews Stroka was the original name for the English motorcycle later named Clews Competition Motorcycles or CCM. CCM motorcycles like the 1974 1/2 500 GP replica pictured here were the last gasp of four stroke English MX bikes. Born out of the collapse of BSA?s Competition Department in 1971 these machines went on to hold up the English four-stoke banner through the 70?s.

If you have a vintage bike and the forks are bottoming out, adding a few pounds of air to each fork legs helps wonders. In fact, many bikes of the mid-70s ran forks with no springs at all. They just installed air caps, raised the oil level, pumped in 18 – 20 pounds of air (or nitrogen) and went racing.
