In those days plain bearings weren't as good. I seem to recall the gsx 550 has a soft top end and electrical issues.. Also was it not a 16" front wheel?
I never had it long enough to find out, some bastard nicked it.
I did have a moment on the GSX that's stayed with me, I was once out riding it and everything must have been just perfect for 2/3 minutes it was like riding in a bubble everything went silky smooth and silent, a very strange experience one that I've never had since, weird!!
