- This video is for entertainment purposes only and you should refer to your factory service manual when servicing your specific machine!
With that said, in this episode I am servicing Suzuki's 2018 GSX-S750. I recently purchased this motorcycle and want to make sure it is properly serviced and safe to ride. I will be checking the health of the charging system, the lights and horn, the cooling system (coolant level and fan operation), performing an oil change, inspecting the braking system (fluid level and clarity, pad thickness, actual function), inspecting the tires and valve stems, cleaning, lubing and adjusting the chain, inspecting the suspension, inspecting the air filter, etc.
While these procedures are performed on a specific motorcycle, they are applicable to a wide variety of motorcycles.
In the interest of time I did not go over how to set up proper throttle play, clutch lever adjustment, brake lever adjustment or suspension setup and adjustment. I did however adjust these systems to factory settings and may cover them in a future episode. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

Wow such an amazing video thank you, very informative
Hi Ryan, glad you liked the video!
Thank you very much. Love your video and instructions.
You're welcome, Annie.
Nice video. I have the same bike. I have the yoshi exhaust and put the db killer in it... the bottom end torque improved.
Thanks. I don't think this bike has the dB killer. However, I have run those types of inserts that increase back pressure and noticed an increase in low end torque as well.
Good informative video Jon. Thank you... C.J.
Thank you.
Great video, thank you sir. How did you remove the orange side reflectors on the front wheel?
Thank you! The previous owner removed the reflectors. If they are stick-on units, dental floss can be used to cut through the adhesive.
Good video! 👍🏻
Thank you!
Thanks for your video
One question
So long time ago 2001 ,2002
My father was cleaning chain with benzine and brush after few minutes he was adding oil for chain
Is it good ?
A light oil like WD-40 is less flammable than benzene (gasoline? ) and less likely to damage the O-rings in modern chains. However, gasoline will definitely clean old chain lubricant off the chain.
Hi Jon, thanks for your pointers with a home maintenance pov. All solid ones.
Can I recommend a different chain lube for you? I was a riding instructor and maintained my bikes for 15 yrs plus all the time I have totally maintained my bikes (coming up on 40yrs).
The Chain Wax you showed is offered by a company called Belray here in Australia. Same label printing as yours except the co name. I found it to not be efficient in my instructing years. While it did set and stay on the chain, it didn't actually penetrate where all the joins are for the 'O' Rings etc.
I got less mileage from chains that I used the Chain Wax from vs using another brand from Fuchs.
The type of chain lube I use is designed for dirt bikes and it is fully synthetic. It is also claiming low fling. And it is true.
Chain lubes have always made some sort of mess. I do get better chain wear from the Fuchs one. 20-30000 KMS or 15-22000ML
Thanks Tommy. We have Belray and Maxima here (two separate companies). I think Fuchs products are available but not as easy to get here. If I see some of their chain lube I may try it out. Thanks for the tip!
I’ve been using "Liquid Wrench" chain lube for years. It is available at auto parts stores, which makes it easy to get. I typically get 23,000 miles per chain on my torquey ZRX. I dribble it on each link every 3- 500 miles.
Hi do you have a video of how to install the fender eliminator kit? I have the same bike but am not exactly sure on some of the steps with the tail lights and what to cut off. Thanks mate
The fender eliminator was on when I bought the bike, so I don't know how it was installed. Sorry.
good vid jon. are all the bikes in that garage yours jon?
Currently yes. I need to thin the herd - garage space is getting tight...
You are the first person I see to pre-fill oil filter 😆
for example on K&N filter for this bike it specifically says not to pre-fill it 🤷♂
Certainly your choice. I pre-fill all my oil filters (car or bike). It certainly can't hurt - every time you start your vehicle after the oil change, the oil filter is pre-filled. It certainly helps the oil pressure to come up quicker after the oil change.
Yes the exhaust and oil filter being in the same place is bad design
That color scheme is sooo much better looking than mine.....white tank and headlight fairing, little red trim and red wheels (nice), and the rest black
I don't know if I saw that particular color scheme. I really like the black and blue as well.
Awesome video!
Do you think you could show how to properly adjust a clutch cable?
That's a good Idea Matty! I may do that in an upcoming video. In the meantime, a properly adjusted clutch should have just a slight amount of play when you're not squeezing it. As the lever is squeezed toward the handlebar you should almost immediately start to feel the resistance of the clutch springs (just after the tiny bit of freeplay in the first 1/8" of travel). Hope that helps!
@@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 Jon, awesome tips! Thank you very much!
Any advice on what do you when all adjusters are maxed out?
@Matty 100%X35 I want to be careful how I answer that because I'm not exactly sure what you mean. If the cable has stretched and you have run out of adjustment, then you need to replace the cable. I have seen someone adjust their clutch cable in the wrong direction, and their clutch slipped horribly (probably ruined the clutch).
@@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 thank you Jon
Didn’t want to confuse you or myself, but I thought I watched a video of somebody opening up the clutch case and adjusting the cable there.
Thank you
@@MrGSXSIR You're welcome. The dial by your clutch lever should be where you adjust your cable tension.
Question. Dis the Gsx-s have engine vibration as the revs climbed? I have a new 2023 and the higher the revs the more vibration that comes through the bars, the seat, the foot pegs and the gas tank. Is this normal? My mirrors are blurry at any rpm above about 4-5k too.
Some vibes are present on all motorcycles. It's hard to tell if yours is excessive without riding it. Cheers!
@@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 Thanks, I took it to my dealer and the mechanic said it is normal. But then in his report said that after 5 minutes his hands hurt and were numb. Also he stated that he suggested that I replace my handlebars and grips. I'm so confused.
@@seth3000gt That's an interesting report. It seems like something might be up. Maybe you can get a second opinion. Good luck with it.
Please tell me the manufacturer of the frame slider.
I'm not sure. It was installed by the first owner.
OES you can get them amazon, I got set frame, fork, swingarm
No problems using the same oil drain gasket?
Great question! It's always a good idea to have a new one on hand when you service the bike. I inspected this one and was able to reuse it with no problems.
@@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 Thank you for answering!
I am looking to change the oil on mine - do you know the size of that gasket? Some say m12 others say M14.
Great video btw! I Will use this as a guide going onwards on my gsxs750 🙏🏼
@Between Frames Production You're welcome. I would check with Suzuki. I'm not sure what size it is.
WHERE DO you put the oil?
There is an oil-fill cap on the right side of the motor about 1 foot above and in front of the brake pedal.
Do you do this check every time you ride?
I check tire pressure weekly and look at the oil level. Otherwise, this is my oil change procedure.
@@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 ahh gotcha. I thought you went thru that whole rigamarole of blinkers and all that I was gonna say you’ve got to be the safest rider I’ve ever seen! Great videos nonetheless.
@@nymetsfan912 Right on JM!
how much oil?
Hi Joe, if I didn't reference it in the video, check your owners manual or your local Suzuki dealership.
@@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 ok
Would you recommend this bike?
It's a good bike. It has more performance than most bikes in it's class and should be low maintenance and reliable. I would recommend one if you're looking for a performance oriented, mid-sized sport standard.
Hard to say, I got '20, not as pretty as that one, it's smooth and fast.......not much for comfort, and you'll never be able to use the power. If you lean forward the mirrors are useless..... that's a problem with naked vs fairing
9000rpm is the beginning of the fun zone, in third gear that's 85mph......so if you're on the street GSX(Street)and want true throttle control you have to run in 1st and 2nd.......and of course when having full fun it burns up the gas(you should expect that anyway)
It depends on the riding you want to do. If you are an "R" crotch rocket rider you probably don't want this, a commuter nope, something to hop on and have fun yep
I, personally, would have been better getting sv650 or Kawasaki z or ninja 400......my riding the 750 is all curves and nothing but fun.....I believe the less powerful would have been a better fit for me
@@rugershooter5268 Great reply!
I ended up doing a deal on a low km 2020 Street Triple. Yes more power than is necessary for commuting. Lose your license just as you get the bike to perform. And sucks the fuel if you use the addictive revs. However I am enjoying it for now. Looking forward to more twisties and next summer.
@@paulconnell1309 The Street Triple is a fantastic machine as well. I had a nice Street Triple R a few years back and it was the kind of bike I would get in trouble on - and I loved it!
You would think the voltage would be dc.
You're correct, good catch.
Why is the coolant bottle under the bike like that. I dont like that.
I'm not sure why the designers put it there.
