- Hi everyone,
Welcome back to the Shed.
This is the first video featuring my GSXR750 SRAD and welcome along to watch me carry out a full service on this beautiful machine!
I change the oil and filter, swap out the OEM air filter for a K&N item, change the plugs and drop and change the coolant.
I hope you enjoy the video.

Just finished doing all this to my SRad. The only thing I did differently is disconnect the spark plug wire first, and changed each spark plug one by one.Thanks for your great video!
bought a 98 today, i need all the help i can get
You could use a sacrificial piece of aluminium foil over the pipe to keep oil off it
Brilliant video, I have watched it end to end twice now! I bought the same bike a few weeks ago and plan to do all of the above shortly. If you ever perform maintenance on the brakes please make a video 😁 Thank you very much.
I will be doing a video all about the Tokico 6 pot brakes in the future as I have a ZX9R project that I am starting soon which shares the exact same calipers 👍🏻
Hello friend, I really liked your video, you have some explaining about the vacuum connections, I have doubts about that, between the vacuum connections, diaphragm, and the air filter air box, I have a 1996 Suzuki srad… 750cc , big hug, now I'm another one written on your channel ...
I like the love you're giving your bike, well done sir !
It’s a pampered one! 👌🏻😎
That is an amazingly clean bike for its age. Good video 👍
Thank you so much for this video brother I'm really glad you uploaded it to TH-cam and you have a very clear concise explanation of everything plus a detailed video I'm not sure where had the camera positioned maybe you were wearing a GoPro on your chest or something like that but I have a 2000 SRAD and this really helps me out a lot thank you.
On this occasion I was wearing the camera on my head. I have since taken steps to ensure better camera work so please check out my other vids. Glad you enjoyed it bro 👌🏻😎
The gixxer 750s is 1 of my favourite bikes of all times & suzuki still produce those bikes up to this day cause it was built to run the 1000cc bikes
the 1998 one is special. First to get fuel injection and this chassis was revolutionary
When changing your oil you can lay some tin foil across the header That help keep the oil off.. im actually rebuilding a 1995 750W. Very nice srad
That’s actually a really good idea and one that I’d never considered! I’ll use that in future! 👌🏻😎
@@KevsShed anything to help a fellow suzuki lover
Nice work, just purchased a clean Srad and wanted to reassure myself of the service process on this bike. You used the best oil as well although I'm not getting into that 😀. With the screw that's damaged the sticker you could spray up a washer to match the colour then do the other side so it doesn't look odd it should hide it. Nice clean bike by the way. 🤘
tim higton good idea, I’ll look into that 👌🏻
Just bought a 99 750 and I can’t tell you how much your videos has helped me. I tip my hat to you sir. Much respect from the great state of Texas!
Cheers buddy, don't forget to like and subscribe!
The price of these has gone bonkers, managed to pick a nice one up for a steal, so this is homework. Cheers.
I'd never sell mine, I have owned it too long and have grown too attached to it! 👍🤓
@@KevsShed hello sir... I’m new to motorcycles and have a 98 srad 750... I went down on it a few weeks ago(car pulled out in front of me)... but it’s still rideable... I’ve rode it a few times since but now the f1 light comes on when riding and the oil light flashes when the ignition is on, and also bogs a little while riding, can you suggest something please, I don’t wanna mess the bike up completely, but I want to ride it every day lol
@@KevsShed and yes it has oil in it, that’s why I’m confused that the oil light flashes
@@Seeno_V th-cam.com/video/PS1qSCq4E9U/w-d-xo.html
Follow the guide in this video. It is for an SV1000 but the process is the same. It will give you the trouble codes that are causing your FI light.
very helpful and informative as we have the same bike!
Cheers buddy!
I have the same one bot 97 my 1st oil change bot i wud like to now best way and easy way to clean or grease the chain
Hi mate, I get what you mean, here is a link to a video on my channel that covers the exact thing you need. Not on an SRAD, but my R1 track bike but the process is the exact same regardless of the bike! th-cam.com/video/QmNOR9LdUDo/w-d-xo.html
Tnk u so mush for that link one more question is the chain supposed to be tide or a little bit lose, only ask cost am new on bikes and i got this last summer ready to ride bot as u now getting it ready for this summer
@@crlrod049 No worries dude, always best to ask than go on a whim! Anyway, to answer your question, the drive chain should be tensioned so that at the mid point between the front and rear sprockets has between 20mm & 30mm of free play checked on the lower run of the chain. Hope this helps buddy.
@kevs shed love the video.! Now where do u buy your oem or after market parts for ur 1998 gsxr750.
I tend to source most of mine from Fowlers Parts of Bristol here in the UK or from eBay Dealers.
I won't comment on the oil you're using but I will ask semi synthetic or fully synthetic? I can't say anything about brands myself, I've become accustomed to Halfords own brand SAE oils
Semi-synth only for me, in my experience fully-synth can have an adverse effect on wet clutches! There are those that will disagree however it’s up to them what they put in their bikes! 👌🏻
Nice one cheers mate, all the literature I have on the bike and nowhere did it say that only 10/40 SAE. I put semi in my zzr and ruined the new clutch I put in so had to fork out for new oil again and new clutch again, I won't make that mistake again 😁
Great Video! Thank you! What kind (brand name) tools did you use? Thanks again! Best!
The majority of them are from the Halfords Advanced range. Pretty decent tools with a lifetime warranty 👌🏻
Hello I saw your video and LOVED the jack you used who makes it where can you get it and how much
It’s made by ABBA stands, here’s a link 👌🏻 www.demon-tweeks.com/abba-sky-lift-malskylift/?istCompanyId=a2904180-3a7d-4e56-b876-cf81c9512180&istFeedId=6fbc4b04-fd28-4ce1-8513-835c8f118690&istItemId=wliqriqax&istBid=t&gclid=CjwKCAjwps75BRAcEiwAEiACMTLO0NoX53OBeApaMe8TMTSWWEcRiFJK4kz67atjxEmDnGctizHlvhoCb0AQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
@@KevsShed Thank you so much want to drop in and help me flip all my parts onto a new frame -- I have a crack in my 1999 frame Or how bout a video to walk me through
thanks for the prompt reply
What jack/stand are you using ?
It's an ABBA Skylift dude! 👍🤓
For anyone who comes across this......Bit of wood? What's wrong with the tank support bar that should be in the tail of the bike. (Its my bike I do what I want, I don't need someone telling me what to do) There you go answered it for you.
And what bobbins have you got fitted if you don't mind me asking
You've got me on that one! I fitted them years ago and I am afraid I can't remember! 🤔
Мистр Бин
Схватићу то као комплимент! :)
Масло в фильтр не налил
Doing so serves no purpose other than to make an oily mess on the floor! You'll no doubt be aware that this engine requires 3500ml of oil when totally dry after an engine rebuild. It requires 2800ml of oil to fill to the max mark after an oil change. This means that there is still approx 700ml of oil inside the engine even after draining the oil pan. For some reason people seem to think that the engine runs dry just because the oil filter hasn't been filled before fitting. Absolutely pointless exercise, but if it makes you feel better then feel free to do it on yours!
I bought exactly the same bike 2 months ago. Yours is like new!

When I want to avoid spillage on the exhaust I wrap some aluminium foil around it. That looks like an immaculate SRAD btw. Last year I picked one up that had been standing still for 6 years in a shed. All it took was a service like you did, a carbrettor revision kit (mine is a 97 carburetted one) and a new fuel tap. Runs like a dream with 74K kilometers on the clock. Good times running that besides my R1200S.
It’s a great idea about the foil on the exhaust and I’ve had a lot of people make that very suggestion! It’s simple but highly effective and I’m stunned that I hadn’t thought of it before! Great tip for a great bike! Good times indeed! 👌🏻😎
Helpful video..nice 👌🏼Just purchased an identical bike, ‘98 750W SRAD, 16k miles, totally stock. Delivery due next week..😊
Edit.. subbed
If theres one thing we love.. its watching screws & nuts being undone & refitted.. aaaaall day long.. just loooove it.. sl many ways of dealing with philips screws !
Thank you. Haven't been able to find any video's on the 98 srad 750.. seems everyone has the 600 or 1000 K1 on up, & it's hard to find OEM parts for the 98 750.
The good thing about Suzuki is the Suzuki Vintage parts Program, this means that pretty much everything is still available OEM. Also if you are in the UK, Fowlers are a great resource for genuine Suzuki parts too.
It’s not hard at all. Suzuki has everything for this bike
I intend to buy a 1997 model with 37000km, it is in very good condition. What are the common issues with this model?
The 6 pot brakes require routine maintenance to keep in top condition and working as intended. Fuel tanks can be found rusting inside if moisture has been allowed to get in. The rectifiers can be troublesome but other than that, all round excellent bikes!
The 98 SRAD is my favorite year, probably because I had one. Damn I miss that bike. Nice bike!
Cheers bud 👍🏻
Hi mate is this bike reliable? Cold starts etc….
This bike has literally never failed to start for me. It is literally the most reliable vehicle that I own and I own many! 👌🤓
90 pounds for an oil filter?!? Someone is taking you to town lmao
I said that the difference was 90 pence ya lunatic! 😂😂😂
aahh lmfao makes more sense
I misheard ya
@@zero_stars :)
Where could I find this stand that you used to prop the bike up
ebay.us/T4hIHy
@@KevsShed thank you sir
I know the plug at 19:52 came from the back of the right hand side of the airbox. but where does it lead to? I just bought a project bike and this area was capped off .
Hey mate, it was the Intake Air Temperature Sensor. If yours is capped then would I be correct to assume that you have a carb model?
@@KevsShed I have a fuel injected model. Where would that hose lead too?
Also at the back of the tank where does the far right gas line go too? This bike came completely disassembled all advice will help.
@@itsraheem Sorry, my bad, I thought you meant the sensor and not the hose. What i'll do this weekend for you is pop my tank up and take a few pictures for you mate.
@@KevsShed thanks please send to ramoore4321@gmail.com
reminds me I haven't done mine in a few years because I haven't really ridden it, like once a season. Need to replace a fairing and front cowl too but I guess most locations here in the states don't have the factory Orange/red or can't get it. I have had it for 15 years and still like to run.
i got the 2000 srad just a difrerent color blue and black i bougth 1 year ago and i lovet!! yours are very clean for that year im new suscriber
dalex sound absolutely awesome, glad to welcome you to the channel mate! 👌🏻 You are correct that mine is clean, I do look after it and pamper it a lot! 👌🏻😎
it's Mr Bean ???
Haha :)
j'ai le même modèle que toi, même année, même cylindrée 👍 bonne moto
soleil noir oui, d'excellents vélos, c'est mon deuxième, malheureusement mon premier a été détruit dans un accident il y a environ 17 ans. Je fais vraiment de mon mieux pour garder celui-ci immaculé! 👍🏻
Do you know how the panel reset is done after changing the engine oil? On my bike it says "check". How do I solve this? thanks
where did you buy the lift
abbastands.co.uk/
@@KevsShed thanks your bike is perfect
@@MaGo-Malmo Cheers bro, she's a minter!
Is this pretty much the same for the 600?
Yeah, pretty much identical.
Hi did everything you did but my 98 SRAD 750 is overheating on me the fan comes on when the temperature hit 225 I changed the thermostat and it’s still overheating any idea thank you in advance
Where can I buy the motorcycle stand?
eBay buddy. 👌
ebay.us/bvj32w
just got mine a few weeks ago. bought it cuz my dad had one when i was a kid. but its stuttering like hell on lower reps and if i have to stop in an intersection. gonna try and empty the tank and fill it with some stuff i got recomended then change the plugs. have you ever had this problem? and yes it has been running on E10 (rip)
Looking atva black one same year as this one currently, also brake ckeaner will clean that oil off of the exhaust and then evaporate
What’s the oil plug product number or size? Because I got a 17mm on my and I don’t know if the is normal or the last owner did it
love the bike plus love the green bmw car they say the 750 is about 5 mile an hour slower thanks for showin
Trying to make the decision today between a '97 750 or an '03 ZX6. Fuel injection is hard to pass up but man do I love the SRADs
If you find a 98 like mine then you’ll have injection and an SRAD! 👌🏻😎
@@KevsShed
The zx6 followed me home.
Avoid using engine oils not meant for motorcycles.
The additives in them are not meant to be used with a wet clutch
Does anyone know where the coolant overflow line goes the one on top or is it just for it to drain
Fantastic job with the video! Super sweet and clean SRAD. I bought a 1997 but it’s been stuck in the shop, can’t wait to ride it. Hope to see some new videos from ya. Cheers!
Thanks man 👌🏻
Just a thank you this video is ace. I’ve never serviced a bike of mine in my life but today I serviced my srad with this video. Thank you again
It comments like this that make me happy! Glad you found it so helpful buddy! 👌🏻😎
Where did you get your bike stand? What brand and cost please?
Very professional work, great vid and a nice collection you've got by the looks of the background
Thank you! Cheers!
Very well done! Very helpful!!
Thanks for this video. Just bought a 97 srad that needs all kinds of work so this is very helpful
Thanks pal :)
Where do i find that motor cycle lift thingy
I'm on the hunt for one of these, hopefully get a clean one over the winter. This video has been very helpful.
Good luck with the hunt!
Very helpful video! I am in Korea. I got a R600 2000 last month. I can do maintenance for my R600 with your video. Thank you. Where did you get the motorcycle lift? It looks very awesome.
Glad it helped! It is called an Abba Skylift, they are a British brand but I believe that they do trade internationally.
@@KevsShed Thanks for your kindness!
Just saw a list of all your vids! Wow I also own a 2001 and 2003 Honda VFR. Awesome
Sweet man! Glad you like the videos! Don’t forget to subscribe 👍🏻
Dirty Oil when was your last service
Sweet bike! Where can one get that bike lift?
Cheers dude, the stand is an Abba Skylift and you can find it at abbastands.co.uk/product-detail.asp?item=sky-lift&pid=44 👍🤓
@@KevsShed Much appreciated it. Can't find a clean SRAD here in the states to save my life. All I can find are hacked up, repainted, and trashed. You guys over seas always seem to keep them looking factory, which is by far the most appealing.
@Wheels One This is my baby dude! I won't even get her out of the garage if there's even the slightest hint of rain, that's what my VFR is for. 😎
@@KevsShed I understand that. I'm on the search for a clean one here in the states. Hopefully I can find a clean one like yours.
Thanks again.
about how much oil does the bike take?
Great video! Very informative, really helped me service my SRAD! 🤗
Cheers mate, glad it helped 👌🏻
Hi
what type of bike stand are you using ?
Brand and model ?
Are they available in Australia?
Cheers
That is the ABBA Skylift, I highly recommend it! 👌🏻
@@KevsShed cheers
Thanks mate. I came across this when I really wanted to do it in my 97
No problem 👍
Why not use Shell Helix Full Synthetic motorcycle oil? It’s the best I know for these bikes.
Thanks for the comment buddy and thanks for watching, oil is a very subjective thing in the same way tyres are and one persons opinion on the subject will not be the same as another’s. However, I do not use a fully synthetic oil in any of my bikes. In my experience, fully synthetics can cause clutch slip in some instances and EBC even state on the packaging for some of their clutches that fully synthetic oils should not be used in conjunction with them. Obviously this comment is not aimed at causing an argument on the topic but merely my opinion!
@@KevsShed Ah cheers for the advice, thank you. Thanks for the video as well! I always thought full synths were the best. I didn't know they had some counterpoints as well. I have a 99 SRAD 750 with low 8000miles (a museum example, pretty much same as yours). I rarely ride it though and I've had a pleasant experience with the Shell Helix FS as I mentioned. Which oil would you recommend or do you use?
My bike used to fire into life immediately with just a quarter revolution of the starter engine like yours, but lately it takes quite a few cranks for it to turn over. That's with a brand new battery. I'm suspecting it's the plugs or the quality or brand of oil at this point.
Where did you get that jack? I need that in my life.
It’s an Abba Skylift mate 👌🏻 abbastands.co.uk/
Have the same bike any advice on fuel injectors
Hi mate, what do you need advice with? Do you have fuel injector problems?
Absolutely enjoyed the whole video you made the whole process. Very transparent. I myself have just bought a 600 S red 1999. I feel a lot more enlightened and feel that I can definitely use this video for reference 100%. I can tell you’re very passionate and serious about what you do as it’s your own bike. Thank you for your time. Please raise awareness with your go to videos. Thanks again. Also just an idea I’m confused with the speculation behind A1 and A2 category with regards to restriction on a 600 I hope I’m saying this right I think you get the gist. I’m hoping you can shed some light on the dos and don’ts for a young person riding a 600 as his first bike on the roads.
What kind of bike stand is that can anyone tell me
It’s an ABBA Skylift buddy 👌🏻
I just bought a SRAD 1999, I changed the oil + filter, new spark plugs, new battery, cleaned the carbs m and turned it on....the bike is alright until it reaches 80°C in temperature 🌡 starts to shuts off with a bit of white smoke out the exhaust when I rev it...when I put the 1st gear it start to shake and suddenly gives power but then when the RPM get low it shuts off....
The bike was stored for 3 years and have only 30k KM.
What to do??? Kindly help me
Im planning to change the coolant as well soon.
I'm confused why it shakes and shuts with a bit of white or blue smoke, not sure...
Too bad no one replied. I hope u got it fixed. Bleu smoke means too much oil burn or oil in the wrong place i think. Too much oil in cilinder maybe piston rings bad. Good luck
Great video and beautiful bike. I have 2000 AlStare SRAD. Bought it brand new. Do all the work myself. Solid bike. Still own it and it runs like a champ.
Cheers
no messing tutorials thank you !
Glad you like them!
the best video ! thanks bro !!
No, thank you 👌🏻
What does anneal mean?
Annealing is a heat treatment that alters the physical and sometimes chemical properties of a material to increase its ductility and reduce its hardness, making it more workable.
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Good video. Thanks.
You're very welcome, please share!
Srad & Alpina...👍
Oh Yeah!! 👌😎
Thanks bud , my SRAD 98 is out of oil and i didn't wanna start it up :) This video was well put and i know everything i need to
she's getting serviced :D
No problem 👍
How crazy would I be to pick up one of these in 2020? I love the classic GSX-Rs and the 98/99 is probably my favorite that at least have fuel injection to avoid constant carb maintenance. Any specific problem areas I should look for when bike shopping? I know it won't be as problem free as a new bike, but I just love this generation of GSX-R and it would have to be an especially bad ownership experience to make me turn away. I'm well aware of the normal old bike stuff, just wondering about anything specific to 98-05 GSX-R 750s and if any particular year is especially good or bad.
Get one, you won’t regret it! The only real thing with the SRAD models to watch for is the R/R as they aren’t the best and also check for excessive cam chain noise. Some owners fit manual tensioners and these are fine as long as they are correctly adjusted 👍🏻
@@KevsShed What do you mean by "R/R"? What should I be listening for for the cams and what kind of problems/expenses should I expect if I was to hear it? Would it just need a chain replacement or is the noise representative of something bigger? As with anything, if the bike is otherwise perfect, what kind of money should I talk the seller down to offset either issue? A perfect bike rarely exists as we all know, so it's just about arming myself with how much each issue will cost to fix to get a fair price on a mostly good bike.

What does eneal the sump plug mean?
Annealing is the process by which you soften the copper washer (not the plug) helps to ensure a good tight seal. Annealing also allows you to reuse a previously used copper washer too! It work hardens as force is applied during the tightening process. Aluminium washers cannot be an annealed however and must always be replaced!
