2 Piston Rear Caliper Strip down, Rebuild and Bleed | Suzuki GSX-R 750 SRAD

I know I've been doing a lot of maintenance stuff recently, if these aren't for you I apologise but it is winter and we are locked down sadly. Riding videos will return with a vengeance when they can :)
Anyway this is the requested video on the 2 piston rear caliper rebuild. Very straight forward really and not a huge amount different from any other caliper you will ever have to do. They all follow pretty much the same pattern :) I do hope this video is helpful for some of you :)

I hope these videos are helping someone out there! The callipers were surprisingly fine to do I think, either way I've enjoyed doing them, I find stuff like this really rewarding :) On to the next project!! :D

[@thatrotaryboyy]

Thanks for the video, picked up a 99 600 srad and was definitely a project got a steal of a price on it but definitely worth the work, most likely gotta rebuild the rear caliper I got off eBay, this video definitely will save me thanks

[@TheGorillaBiker]

@@thatrotaryboyy Happy the videos are still sometimes useful! :) Enjoy the new bike :)

[@tomakafrankconlon3207]

i have used Red rubber grease a number of times with no problems. Even some new seals come with a tiny packet of it. You can also heat the caliper up with the seal in place which will make everything expand and the piston will go in much easier.

[@TheGorillaBiker]

Good to hear, I was 100% confidant is using it anyway but sometimes the abuse you cop from people it's easier to just say it's grand up front. I have heard that too, thankfully didn't have to, me and fire don't usually mix 😂😂

[@BOSHIBOSHI]

I agree with Mr Frank Conlon. This is because general grease has a component that expands the rubber and may hinder the sealing effect. I used to be a teacher at an automobile mechanic school, but this was a deduction. Red rubber grease should be used around rubber parts.

[@benk3571]

You have some solid mechanical skills!!

[@TheGorillaBiker]

Thank you thank you, the carburettors were harder tho :P

[@Francismoore-qq7pb]

Very good very good . The Gsxr can almost get a sniff of the road again.what we’ve all been waiting for 😁

[@TheGorillaBiker]

Oh there be a bit of it on the road very very soon :)

[@ChopperFett]

So this video didn’t apply to me of course, but, you are so good in your explanation I had to watch it all the way through. Maybe if I join the sport bike world someday I’ll have a leg up. Bloody good one man.

[@TheGorillaBiker]

You'd never know when you might need to rebuild a 2 piston calliper :D But that's high praise indeed thank you!! :) You absolutely should at least try one, they're a very interesting experience, very very different from other bikes really. Thanks man, I really appreciate that :)

[@Viper6-MotoVlogger]

Very nice job on those calipers mate.

[@TheGorillaBiker]

Thanks man! This bike has taught me a lot :)

[@meredithsolutions1934]

Great tutorial thank you

[@TheGorillaBiker]

Glad it was useful :)

[@HippoDrones]

Great to see more progress, and super exciting that you can take it out soon! :-)

[@TheGorillaBiker]

I'm full on chomping at the bit now to get this thing out on the road :D I know you know how I feel :P

[@HippoDrones]

@@TheGorillaBiker YUPPERS! :D

[@stephencartwright5046]

Good one. Is the hose looped tp avoid the axle and chain adjusters? Banjo bolt because the fitting it goes through on the end of the hose resembles a banjo...... they say. Would play well. Looking forward to seeing it on the road.

[@TheGorillaBiker]

I did think that afterwards, I think you're right!! There seems to be missing a little holder for the swing arm to help the looping so I'll fashion something :) Ahhhhhh that makes....some form of sense :D Me too, should be very soon :)

[@HippoDrones]

WHOOP CB500 funannigans :D

[@TheGorillaBiker]

I am genuinely excited to get straight back in to another project man, very bloody lucky I have the shed now!

[@HippoDrones]

@@TheGorillaBiker Aye, it is a good size too from what we have seen of it so far :-)

[@MonkeyButtRides]

These videos are helping me. I like that you are ahead of me, in racing, it's always easier to follow then to lead, turns out the same is true for GIXXER revival's! 😂 I hope I don't need compressed air to get the pistons out but I guess it will make for a good vid if I have to. Good tips. What grit sand paper did you use? I to have no idea why they call them banjo bolts. Good video!

[@TheGorillaBiker]

Glad to hear that man so much! :) Haha that's a fair point, maybe I should have let you go ahead 😂😂 There was no hope of anything else but someone in the comments suggested a grease nipple and a grease gun will gently push them out :) Far safer than air! I used 1000 then 2000 grit, just to knock off any corrosion. :) Thanks man :)

[@crumblymal8479]

Good one are ya gonna be keepin the GSXR when it's done or move it on ? for me if I had a sports bike I would hardly ever use it these days cos I am officially an old guy now ha cheers : )

[@TheGorillaBiker]

Oh I'll be keeping it. I won't keep every bike I do but I was looking at this one a long time before I got my hands on it, as of now I've no intention of letting it go anywhere. I won't use it a whole pile but likely.for some short summer blasts and track days etc.

[@Jake-pd6ct]

GIXXER GIXXER GIXXER Nice beard! You need a good rear brake when I teach you how to wheelie n i p p l e s Dang I hate bleeding brakes Problem with these videos is that there's not much to comment on OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH JAKE IS A VERY GOOD NAME FOR IT! CB500 incoming Farewell thy brethren

[@TheGorillaBiker]

It will be on the road veeeeeeeeeeeeeery soon :P Tanks bai, grew it myself. Ah it's plenty good enough for wheelies don't worry :D Los niplés. Me too, it's actually minus craic. Negativo funsies. Excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me :'( There is plenty to comment on, like, how....yeah ok fine. Do you think so? Might name it something else....dunno ;) Like a very slow train. Fare thee well squire.

If you want it to be a girl you could name it jackie

Naaaah it's Jake now 😂

[@MotoDragon]

Lockdown is making your beard very Ginger, must of caught that from Grant 😂How much HP do you think this will give the gsxr ?

[@MotoDragon]

Also it's called a banjo bolt because guitar bolt would just be stupid 😂😂

[@TheGorillaBiker]

Haha it's the colour grading 😂😂 The worse the light is in the shed the more it gives it that tinge. Grant is my Dad sure apparently, yours too if he's to be believed. At least -5hp. That's true.....I'd prefer to call it the Jesus bolt because it's holy.

[@MotoDragon]

@@TheGorillaBiker Haha I think instead of Grey you're going Ginger. No I'm Grant's dad, even though I'm younger. Thats just how life works.

[@TheGorillaBiker]

Haha sadly I'm actually going bald :D I'd take ginger over that :P Ahhhhh of course.....that's parental science sure.

[@MotoDragon]

@@TheGorillaBiker I think you'd look like a beast with a beard and shaved head! Do it...

[@danielmcneil3004]

It’s called a banjo bolt because it is shaped like a banjo.!?

[@TheGorillaBiker]

I mean.....if I squint...maybe I could see it but I've seen banjos and they look different 😂

[@trenthay5403]

Do you have the links you got the gaskets from?!?

[@TheGorillaBiker]

I bought them all on cmsnl.com

[@trenthay5403]

@@TheGorillaBiker thanks so much man!!! Trying to fix my tuned 2000 gsxr600

[@TheGorillaBiker]

No problem :) Much left to do?

[@trenthay5403]

@@TheGorillaBiker yeah so I need to get all new gaskets and a new banjo bolt with the two washers and I think and it should be good! Just trying to find where to get it all. Finding parts for this bike is hard! Thanks so much for your help tho!! You’re the man!!

[@TheGorillaBiker]

You should be able to get all the gaskets on cmsnl anyway, I'd go to HEL and get a new line altogether, that comes with new banjos and washers then :)
