Your welcome. Can seem like a lot of work at the start but once you get into it you will enjoy it and it will be worth all the effort in the end. Have fun.

Congratulations! 😊 Glad to see you have it finished, and a beauty she is, I must add 👍🏼 good job! Since these bikes are air/oil cooled, they benefit from a richer mixture because that helps them run cooler, on my bike it's 2,5 turns out on the air/fuel screw, with the slider jet needle clip in position 3 counting downwards. Chain slack should be between 3 and 4 cm Curious to see that tank cover you've ordered Ride safe! 👍🏼 For me, I haven't been able to ride yet this season, too busy at work, but when I finally found some time to wake her up from winter hibernation she ran really rough on idle and would stall on revving, pulled the carbs out and found that the bioethanol in the petrol /E10/ had pulverised and shredded every single rubber o-ring in there. I already have 4 new rebuilt kits from Turmax, just haven't had time to install them .So, take my advice: if you leave your bike standing longer than a month or so, empty the bowls or you could use premium fuel with the least bioethanol content, 10% in regular fuel is just too much .. bioethanol is a carburettor's worst enemy!
Thanks for that. Yeah that stuff is bad for the carbs alright. I might try the 2.5 turns on mine too as it’s only at 2.25 at the moment. Have you still the standard jet setup of 115 in cyls 1 and 4 and 112.5 in cyls 2 and 3?
@@DarrenMcKinney1 Yes, however I have read in the Hayens manual that there are certain German "power" models out there that use a uniform set of 115's as main jets on all 4 carbs. I have another set of these carbs I bought ages ago off some Polish site, 80€ incl. shipment, I use for spares .. already paid off as I needed a diaphragm to replace a split one I had, and 2 pilot jets I managed to snap during a rebuild in the past. Now this set of spares too, has the 2x 115 & 2x 112.5 main jet setup, and I've been contemplating taking those 2 115's out of there and sticking them in carb 2&3 of mine to have all 4 in 115 as those power models they mention .. I'll see how it goes once I start my cleaning and rebuild. If you're inclined to go all 4 115, then for sure go for oem jets, part. no. 09491-23012 .. aftermarket ones tend to be all over the place, they will state 115 but in reality the could be any thing from 100 to 120
@@ghassanalfarra8935 thanks for the great information once again. Let me know if you put all the 115s in and I’ll let you know if I do it. It also says in my Haynes manual about the German full power models. That’s what started the whole thought process with me. I would say your right about the genuine jets. Hard to beat the real thing.
Thanks Ronan. I have it in in this video but if you check out my video on this delkevic exhaust I show it with it in and out to let you hear the difference. Here is a link to the video: th-cam.com/video/XDbe3J91Iks/w-d-xo.html
Nice . I just got a 2006 year. Hasn't run in @ 5 - 6 years. In great shape. Tank was drained before it went in storage. Any suggestions ? I'd greatly appreciate it. Ty
First thing I’d be doing is getting the carbs off and rebuilt. Then just a good service all round going through the engine and brakes to make sure she’s in the best possible shape. I’d imagine she could do with tyres too but inspect them well and see. After that get her mot’d and enjoy.
@@DarrenMcKinney1 thanks. And Yes. The tires are done..... Definitely getting new ones. Thanks Again. BTW. I've been looking in the Internet. Any suggestions on a good quality website for the carbs or high quality rebuilding kits. Much appreciated Ol Boy. Ty , Cliff

Thanks very much Kevin. I really appreciate comments like that. Yeah I would recommend them as a first bike as they are very steady on the road and don’t have a crazy amount of power where you could accidentally spin a wheel or get yourself in trouble. As you seen in the videos they are a fairly simple bike to work on and the engines are absolutely bullet proof. They are quite a big bike and feel very heavy and bulky when you first get on them but you soon get used to it. This bike was actually my first big bike and I never regretted it.
I have this bike and i wouldnt recommend this bike for a beginner. and i would say dont buy it because its a very heavy bike and its very easy to accidentaly drop it and such a heavy bike landing on your leg is not funny. dont ask me why i know it.
Thank you. If you go into one of my very first videos where I originally installed it there is a link to where you can get one. It is waterproof on its own but I put it inside the dash clocks because it looked more like it was meant to be there. To do it I had to split the clocks and stick it in where the Suzuki badge was. It had to be built up behind with a few little pads to keep it tight but it worked out fairly easy. Apart from that a small bit of trimming the 2 halves of the clocks where the wire sticks out and then take the plug off the end of the wires to let the wires run through a water drain hole in the dash and put the plug back on and that’s it. It’s not a lot of work but I’m happy with the way it almost looks factory for very little effort
Thank you for taking the time to make a video series on this restoration. You've motivated me to finish my 05 750.

Happy new year Cliff
I've got one of these only 10000 miles love it
Yeah they are a great all round bike
It can't leak coolant, as it has none. It is an oil cooled engine mate.
Sorry if I said coolant. I know it’s just an oil cooled engine

No problem Cliff. Any information I can help with about building parts of the bike let me know
You did a wonderfull job but …How many did the hole restoration cost ?
i knew a guy bought one of these new 30 odd years ago, had it less than 6 months before getting an fzr600
Fina como el coral ✌️✌️✌️
where did you find the fairing kit at, do you have the websight by chance
This is all the original fairings. I just got them painted and got the badges off Csml website

Great work, sir. Where did you get your gear indicator from? Was it difficult to install/mount on your dash? Is it waterproof?
