The bike was laid down going approx. 10 mph on the left side (if you were sitting on her) the fairings are messed up bad right where the crank case is there is a hole in the fairing, like a big rock tore a hole in it. that's right about where all the oil leaks out of.
It does appear to me that the crankcase must be holed somewhere. That is the moist likely reason the previous owner drained it (or rather it all ran out). I would have a good visual look at the crank case to see if there is an obvious hole. If it is damaged then it would obviously need a new crank case but first, take the fairing off and have a look.
Also it could be worth joining the www.rfownersclub.co.uk for FREE help and advice (RFOC).
forgot to say I own and run the club - membership is free
I can't get to the registration
I put jb weld on the crankcase :) I'm learning fast lol
email [email protected] giving a username you would like and a location so I can add you to the members map. I am sure it says that somewhere on the RFOC page? but I will check

SOURCE: I?m buying a 2000 Suzuki GSX 750 that was laid down
HI, I had a 2002 gsx600f, pretty much the same bike and I let a buddy of mine ride it and he came back with the oil pan cracked, turned out he tryed to ride a few wheelies on it and upon one of the landings the weight of the bike actually cracked the oil pan, they are extremly heavy compared to other sport bikes on the market. Ive never heard of an oil pan just cracking, more then likely it was user error.

Hi and welcome to FixYa,
Most used 250s are ridden hard either as a starter bike or forced to max out playing catchup with bigger bikes. But unless abused, they tend to have longer usable life than the bigger ones. Often areas that would need your attention/check would be:
Even if there are somethings you feel like needing work, the general judge wold be how you like riding the bike. Your body, sense of balance and riding style would dictate which if ever would need priority work/replacement/checking over.
Pls post back result(s). Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa.
SOURCE: cracked frame
Suzuki replaced my frame about a 1.5 years ago.I was 3rd owner,9000 miles on bike,all stock and original except pipes.The only drawback was I had to pay for the labor,which was about a $1100. I knew the mechanic at the shop and they let me do the labor myself.The frame was cracked on both sides where the radiator mount screw into the frame.
SOURCE: oil leak from the front of the motor
Its funny you should mention this but yes, I had its bigger brother the GS 850 G , same problem, Apparently, in my situation I did the same thing and went to the shop and let those butchers make it worse !!!, the way i found my leak was by washing the motor with a grease and oil cleaner , strayed the whole motor and wash it all off totally, then I turn her on and let her get to operating temp went for a few mile and came back and checked it, for me it was the head gasket the guys put on and i forced them to do it again,
I found out later that it was common with the suzi's of that model and ended up doing it myself, I used the original gasket and used a compound called gasket goo and it never leaked through out the 8 years i had it .
But before you do anything , surly they gave you warrant y on the work so take it back and demand they do it properly.
Cheers and ride safe

http://www.bikebandit.com/ http://www.airtech-streamlining.com/ http://www.drumhillcycle.com/ If racing only I would not waste time/weight on a speedometer, use a tachometer only. But you can try http://www.jpcycles.com/ for generic will fit parts. The airtech site has factory type and race only fairings and can suggest brackets needed. You can also try e-bay for a complete fairing setup w/ decals, will be the least expensive, and lighter weight than factory.
