SUZUKI GS550 MOTOR RESTORATION

If you want your bike to POP! Then pay attention to your cosmetics. In this video, "SUZUKI GS550 MOTOR RESTORATION" I show you how I spruce up the looks of a motor with TLC, Powder Coat and High Temp Paint.

Thanks for the practical info Larry. I really like how the powder coat finish turned out. Great work, your engine looks amazing! Great advice on the the JIS screws also.

Thank you very much!

That motor came out great. Looks like new. Why not paint the rest of the block?
I can’t tell you how many screws I stripped when I was a kid working on dirt bikes. I wish I knew about those Japanese Phillips screws then, would have saved a lot of late night headaches. The guy at the Suzuki parts counter taught me about that because I was always coming in for replacement screws. Now I have 2 sets of the correct screw drivers.
I like that engine stand adapter you probably made yourself. So simple but so functional.
Thanks

I am going to paint the block, I didn't mention it in the video because I still need to clean/wire wheel the case before I do that. Just didn't have time to do it in this video. Glad you liked it. I'll be doing more bike videos from now on but will incorporate powder coating in to them. Thanks for commenting Ernie!

I just rebuild my carbs, on my GS500t from 1985 (ultrasonic) These are nice bike to work on, I agreed with the match original restoration type, so much wasted bike with all black engine and file blades on youtube…
Can’t wait to take it for a ride ! Good luck with yours!

[@CycleFab]

Good luck with yours too! Keep watching and you'll be able to see the whole bike build. Thanks for watching!

[@1conu593]

What brand of engine stand is that if you don't mind saying.

[@CycleFab]

It's a Harbor Freight, here's a link to the video showing how to modify it: th-cam.com/video/TwQvHz9_5vA/w-d-xo.html

[@eoincostello4634]

don't use a steel wire wheel it will imbed tiny splinters of steel which will rust and pitt I wouldn't use brass either
