  • In the 13th part of this video series, I'm bringing the crankcases together, with fresh crankshaft and con-rod bearings.
    I also do some work on the paint job of the cylinder block and honing the cylinders as well.

    Hi Chris
    Really enjoying your content.
    I have the same bike, same year.
    Owned it for 26yrs, taken it from 60k on the clock to 119K.
    It been a great bike, but I don't have the time, facilities or expertise to do the great work you are doing here.
    Do you know any Adelaide enthusiasts with the same skills?
    I would really like to sell it on to someone as a project bike, who can give it the TLC it deserves.

    • @ChrisSofos
      @ChrisSofos  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you for your kind words! They are really amazing bikes and they handle extremely well for their age!
      I don't have any people I know in Adelaide, but there might be a few in Melbourne. Send me an email at csofos@hotmail.com if you want with pictures of the bike and I'll ask around.
      Cheers mate!

    Hi Chris sorry I can’t find the link to the 87 fzr rebuild could u please give me it sorry bout that your rebuild is coming along nice I put a different crank in my cases ( fz 750) so I measured all the installed new shell bores and crank dia got a nice on the tighter side of spec so may have to run in on 5w 30 or 40 mineral.

    Hi there Chris.. I have two question?
    In the top of THE engine there Is a tap with a litrle tuve. Where or what Is connect to It?
    At THE botrom of THE air box there Is a little tube, what Is connected on It?
    GSXR 750 1988.

      I think I know which tubes are you talking about. Both of these hoses (the one on the valve cover and the other on the air filter box) are connected with a hose. This you will see on my next video which I'm preparing now. It should be up in a few weeks. Sent me an email at csofos@hotmail.com
