@oebe5735 thank you very much! I'm glad the videos can help others! Especially those restoring these amazing pieces of motor history. Enjoy your restoration!
@ChrisSofos so i have an 86 750 that a friend gave to me, it's all in pieces. My dream is to put it all back together again. I guess that 88 isn't to different at least engine wise. This will definitely help me a lot. I would love to se someone fit and inverted front end on a slabby. As I've seen on some of them, but I'm not sure what year front end would be the best to use. I know that the k5 have been used before but I don't know how difficult that would be. There used to be a TH-cam video of a guy doing it also with a k5 swing arm on an 86 gixxer but I I can't find it anymore. Have you had any experience with that? Sincerely Glenn
@GlennFossum in my experience, you can fit any swing arm or front end you want. It just takes modifications on both the part and sometimes the frame. I've done a few, and they were successful. It takes time and calculations, though. Most people these days won't do any mods on these old school bikes, and they'd rather keep them original, as it raises their value. My advice is that if you decide to do any mods, make sure you do it in a way that you can bring them back to their original shape if need be. That means do not modify any of the original parts. I'd love to see you creating your own gixxer restoration videos on TH-cam 👍
Great assembly Chris and tutorial. I bet the bike will go & look sterling. Cool bike. Thankyou for sharing. Im planning on doing a single cylinder big bore in the future. Will be my first. This goes a long way to building my confidence. Subbed.
Hi Chris! Love your videos. I just rebuilt my 750k 1989. There are two aluminum plates that should be on the bolts next to the cam chain. Oil control plates or something. On the cylinder studs. Mine broke when I took it apart so I had to order new ones. Or maybe they are unnecessary?
Unless you mean the No 16 & 17 on this diagram below. They suppose to control the oil flow, but I'm not sure at what rate they do this. Nevertheless I would put them in there, as Suzuki knows better than us 🙂 www.megazip.net/zapchasti-dlya-motocyklov/suzuki/gsx-r750-2301/gsx-r750-13989/gsx-r750j-j-k-l-j-768010/cylinder-head-13342714
I think that this is the correct direction of rotation of the engine. If you go to 23:52 of this video, you'll see that rotating the engine that way, it leads me to the correct firing order (1-3-4-2). At least that's what I assume. I might be wrong. However, there's no particular reason for this. No matter what the engine rotation is, the timing is not affected.
Peace of art, Chris. Love it.
Thank you very much!!!
Fantastic Chris.. You're a true master.
Thank you so much for your kind comment! It encourages me to keep going!
Awesome video mate. I am rebuilding a gsx600 and these videos have been invaluable to assisting me. Really well explained and presented, awesome work.

Thanks Karl. Rest assured I did. I just didn't filmed it. Amongst so many other things 😂

Thank you for your comment. I can't figure out which ones you are referring to. Mine didn't have any. Are there any pictures?

Yes! Those are the ones! Yeah don’t really know if you need them, but they probably slow down the oil flow back to the sump. For some reason 😂
Great job Chris
Thank you! I appreciate it!!!
hey,why are you turning the engine backwards when checking timing??
I think that this is the correct direction of rotation of the engine. If you go to 23:52 of this video, you'll see that rotating the engine that way, it leads me to the correct firing order (1-3-4-2). At least that's what I assume. I might be wrong.
