20,000 Mile Fork Oil Change | GSX-S750 / GSR750

Have you seen the cost of rebuilding or replacing a fork?? Ignoring your fork oil can be very costly! This is my first time doing it on this bike and I messed up! But with some help I was able to save it. I'm glad it's done AND I plan on doing it every year from now on. I'll tell you why. Take a look.

Great vid and respect for removing and redoing after some good advice (some youtubers should take note). Love the winter maintenance vids cant wait for the next. Stay safe 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@sstressfl]

I guess winter has some value afterall! Steering head bearings coming up next then brakes. Thank you for the kind words my friend :)

[@lowcountryrob170]

Good information. I appreciate it, especially since I have the same bike, which I rode to work this morning. I hope y'all get good riding weather in Vermont soon. Stay safe and keep the rubber side down and the shiny side up.

[@sstressfl]

Thanks brother 👍😎🙏 Be safe out there!

This turn lights makes the bike look a dinosaur

[@sstressfl]

I dont mind.

[@paulcondie2520]

I'm a huge believer in maintenance or better yet, even preventative maintenance. I am living proof it works. My 93 ranger has 484,000. I just gave my daughter a chevy impala with 300,000 miles and runs like the day it was new! I can go on n on n on etc..... Lol Don't get me wrong there's always mechanical failures whick maintenance won't help but some guys wander why? Lol. Great job! I recently put progressive fork springs in my klr. Supposedly a couple warmer days coming here on PA, can't wait to take a rip on my bike!

[@sstressfl]

Wow!! That is truly impressive mileage on those vehicles. I've always been big on maintenance and believe MOST vehicles will last much longer if only regular maintenance was performed. My struggle in VT is winter rust and rot. I do my best to keep it at bay but it catches up eventually. We'll be riding soon enough, Lord willing :)

[@keijidash9646]

I have the exact same bike (year, color and everything) and you are my go to guy as far as maintenance with these videos. So first and foremost, thank you for making these. Btw, the name of that red stand you’re using to support the bike?

[@sstressfl]

Awesome bike :) Appreciate the feedback!! That red stand is a Michael Byrne special.... I didn't see anything that worked within a reasonable price so I made my own. Here's the build vid: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqXLgp5tjLOGeq8

[@iblacka1]

I will say you shouldn't really let them brake calipers hang on the lines not good on the hoses. With all due respect you do some great videos thank you.

[@sstressfl]

I didn’t, I set them on a chair next to the bike.

[@D-Man750]

What type of stand are you using in this to support the bike while the forks are removed?

[@D-Man750]

The red one easily seen at 18:46

[@sstressfl]

The commercial stand options were so expensive so I made my own. Here’s the video: DIY $40 Motorcycle Jack Stand GSX-S750 / GSR750 kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqXLgp5tjLOGeq8

[@D-Man750]

Wow, thanks for the quick reply. Watching that vid now!

[@sstressfl]

@@D-Man750 Youre welcome. Hope your project goes well 🙏

[@drewdub8425]

Thanks again man. For my left one, I put the left one at capacity and it doesnt feel like theres any resistancem as it was empty

[@drewdub8425]

It feels and sounds like theres no oil in the fork despite me adding it

[@sstressfl]

Seals are blown?? Is it leaking? Spring rate adjustment?

[@drewdub8425]

@@sstressfl Maybe the adjustment, there were no leaks. Is one for supposed to feel different than the other or identical when compressing off the bike?

[@GIXXERBROL7]

how about 2018GSXS750 fork oil change ? ML? AND Oil grade?

[@bufuair]

Great video .. do you happen to know the oil level in mm ? with or without spring inside because I need to change my seals to :( and I can't seem to find a manual or the info online

[@sstressfl]

Awesome :) That is the RIGHT way to do it! Install the inner rod/damper (60nm), no spring, compress it fully, pour 520 ml inside the tube. Move the inner rod/damper up and down slowly until no bubbles come out. Refill fork oil up to the top while bleeding air as needed. When done top off the fork with more oil as needed. Move the rod slowly a couple more times to make sure no air bubbles. Wait 5-6 minutes. Keep the tube level the entire time. Compress fully. Fork oil level should be 96mm or 3.8" from the top. Note, when installing the spring, the large diameter should face to the bottom. Inner rod lock nut 15 nm. That should get you there!

@@sstressfl you just saved my bike .. thank you !

[@sstressfl]

@@bufuair you’re welcome! 🙏✌️

[@HaiPham-dw2kg]

Very informative.👍👍

[@sstressfl]

Thank you! 🙏

[@HighGrade_FireBlade]

Why not just cut the pinch bolts down 5mm and clean up the tip of the threads with a die?

[@sstressfl]

Ive done it many times... I usually thread a nut onto the bolt, cut it, clean up the end on my bench grinder, then remove the nut. The nut cleans the threads as it is removed. Works great. Didnt feel it was necessary, but absolutely something you can do :)

[@Tit-khrueang-Thiao]

Gsx s750 2017 front shock oil how much use per side?

[@sstressfl]

Im not sure... you might have diff shocks than the 2015. Best to drain it thoroughly then measure how much you took out. Replace with the same amount 👍

[@twanvanheunen1737]

I need the service manual for the gsr750 help me plz !😁

[@sstressfl]

The service manual for the 2015/16 gsxs750 will get you there 👍 the only diffs (from Wikipedia) Comparing the GSX-S750 with the GSR750, the changes made to GSX-S750 include a new exhaust to comply with Euro 4 and California emission standards, a new tapered handlebar, new swing-arm, a revised air box, and ventilation holes in the bottom of each cylinder to reduce pumping loss and improve power. It uses a 43 tooth rear sprocket compared to the GSR's 42, to improve acceleration, and top gear was lengthened to keep the top speed the same (250 km/h +/- or 155 mph +/-).

[@brayancorrea1402]

This is the information I was looking for. Thank you very much, you saved me and I will be able to continue with my research to repair my motorcycle.

[@sstressfl]

@brayancorrea1402 so glad to hear it helped 🙏

[@itsdoncartagena6485]

lol thanks for saying my last name right, only a few know how to say it right

Alright!!! 👍🤗 Thanks for letting me know ✌️😁
