Technical

The B100P has spine frames, telescopic front forks, pivoted forks at the rear, full width drum brakes, and dualseats. The B100P line was available in a bright colour finish and chromed or stainless front mudguard. A notable advance in this motorcycles design is the addition of an oil pump. As the midpoint of the 1960s slipped by, many Suzuki models took a big step forward with a change in their lubrication system. Petroil mixing was a nuissance and not cheap. It was technically poor as it had to have enough oil to cope with full throttle loads at very low engine speeds and thus was over-oiled for the rest of the time. The solution to this problem was an oil pump with a variable output governed by both engine speed and throttle position. It was a system adopted by all the Japanese in time and proved most effective for road machines with their widely varying engine loads and speeds. Suzuki called their arrangement Posi-force and pumped the oil through one main bearing into a catch disc which fed the big end rollers. By the early seventies, the named had changed to Controlled Cranksaft Injection or Suzuki CCI and had completely replaced the old notion of mixing petrol and oil. To distinguish the addition of the oil pump the letter P was added to the model typing; B100P became known 'bloop' in the UK.
