- In this 2nd part of the restoration of my GSXR 750J, I'm stripping the whole motorcycle into bare frame! The steering stem was out, the swing arm was out the rear suspension was out and so was the engine! I have to admit I wasn't expecting the engine to be so tight to come out of the frame!
Then, most of the parts got a good clean in order to start assembling later on.

That frame came up really nicely! That’s a benefit of long term oil leaks, preserves metal under the filth! Great work mate 👍🏻
Thanks Tom! That's exactly what I thought when I saw it clean 😜
Nice video Chris, watching this I can see I am missing some bits of my 89 :( Now to play catch up your other video. Take care, Cheers
Thank you very much sir!!!
Aw man. Looks beautiful! Wish i lived closer, i have a 1990 750L. Needs serious resto. 😬 she needs some help. Haha dont know much about mechanics, but my bike def needs your touch. 🥺
Thank you sir! I wish you lived closer as well. I'd love to work on a bike like yours 😁
Can’t strip it down anymore then that. A lot of progress and the fun looks like it’s starting
Thank you! Yes, a bit of cleaning at the moment on various parts, as well as waiting for spare parts to come.
And, oh man...I'd love to have even just a tiny part of your skills when it will all come down to painting the fairings! Impressive work!!! Well done!!
Woao, very shinny 👍
Nice job !!!
As many times as I've had mine apart over the last couple years, I must say I was surprised to learn a few things . I can take this bike apart with my eyes closed and putting it back together isn't so bad. Now even easier in a few key areas. Thank you for making this video.
Nice, brother, really nice 😉
Thank you!
Please let me know, when part 5 comes online 😍
@@dasermutigungs-zentrum436 I will. Again thanks for your comment.
Next time engine has to come out, remove everything from frame first and then lay it down on the side. You can then just lift the frame from the engine. Much easier..
Yep, I realized that after it was all done 😅 This is how it's going to come on the frame. I'll literally put the frame on the engine.
What did you use to clean the frame? Just degreaser? I have oxidation on mine from long term storage. Any recommendations on taking off oxidation. Thanks. Great videos
Hi there. Thanks for your comment. Yes, just degreaser and then soapy water to finish it off.
There's not much you can do for the oxidation, but scrub the oxidised area with a scuffing pad. That way, it'll smooth out the surface, and it'll look better.
Just started watching your videos on the gsxr. That frame looks very clean now, what cleaning products did you use to bring it back to showroom finish. Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks for your comment!
At first, I used a simple degreaser spray and a brush to remove heavy dirt. Then I used hot water, in which I diluted dishwasher liquid along with washing machine powder, and I used a sponge to wash off the remaining dirt. Finally I rinsed it with clean water and that was it!
Great job.
What engine cleaner do you use?
Thank you! Just a plain degreaser, which I had to scrab a lot with a brush.
@@ChrisSofos wow...came up good.🌟
