That was the era of bike I used to work on when I worked at a bike shop in the early 80's for awhile. We sold Suzuki bikes but would work on all sorts of other bikes. I mainly would put new bikes together out of the crate, and do valve jobs at the 500 mile break-in point. Suzuki street bikes were all OHC and adjusting the valves was a breeze once you did it a few times. I remember people bringing in the old Suzuki water buffaloes similar to your bike but from the 70's, those things leaked like a sieve. Also remember people bringing in the old Harleys from the 70's, complete POS typically. Would make a puddle of oil in the shop and you'd have to use a breaker bar just to get the battery case nuts loose.
