2018 Suzuki GSX-S750 Quick Overview after 12k Miles

There are some things I definitely forgot to talk about, but I still figured to put it out anyway! Here is a brief-ish overview of my 2018 GSX-S 750 which I thoroughly enjoy and is a true underdog in it's class.

[@ts03227648]

this is a super easy to ride and valuable bike on the market, very suitable for beginner rider upgrade to the middle range.

[@greensandbeansgaming1358]

Seems everybody over all liked it but cons I heard were the plastic was cheaply made and paint faded after 3 years. That it redlines way too easy. That it comes with supersport tires that wear too fast, then how does it ride when you put tour tires on. And also rust was showing up after 3 years. What do you think?

If you could comment on this pleaseee! ^ it seems so hard to find information about these bikes, which is sad because most of it sounds like good things

[@greensandbeansgaming1358]

@@Nutmilk157 also they complained about the black and white screen hard to see in the sun that other bikes have colored ones. And I noticed how the rear swingarms look like toothpicks compared to say the cb650r beefy aluminum swingarm which won't rust. I would worry too wondering if taking those plastic strips off and on for filter and plug changes etc if they would break or not mold as tight to the gas tank in the future from pulling them off and he wished the gas tank was bigger cause he says seems like he is always in the gas station. I believe Suzuki rates last for durability out of the four Japanese bikes with Honda first. They are made in India too so if you want one made in Japan got to look for the j I guess where the vin number is. But the cb650r you can't put a slip on it and the tail to me looks too stuby and no bottom fairing.

[@greensandbeansgaming1358]

But if you ask me they are all over priced, I mean you can buy a brand new Ford Maverick for 20000

[@Nutmilk157]

Hmm yeah they definitely could update this bike, for the price it seems like the stock suspension and engine are huge plus though, and I guess it just depends on if you are wanting the most up to date technology etc. overall from people who’ve owned it they seem to love it! Really not a fan of the other naked bikes around this same class.. as far as the rust goes, I can’t imagine it going to rust unless you seriously jack up the swing arm or if you leave it out in the rain all the time. But idk for sure wish they would’ve have gone aluminum

[@greensandbeansgaming1358]

@@Nutmilk157 ya cause probably small stone be hitting under the swing arm. I wonder if could have the swing arm wrapped, I seen a kid clear wrap all his plastic. I'm looking too but nothing 100% I like. The thing is I think a world economic depression is coming soon and might be big rebates.

What was the repair calibration thing you had to do? and what is "the paper clip thing"? thanks.

[@paulconnell1309]

At the top the GSX S750 is a quick as the Street Triple R. Need to push a little more at the bottom to compete but in the mid range the GSX is as quick and max torque is lower revs. Agree a great bike for the money. Does the little fly catcher on the front help smooth out the air flow?

[@kevleemoto3925]

Yeah not really unless I’m in a full tuck just pushes it alittle higher on my chest but I got to say it does look nice

[@rondobrondo]

Do you find the bike pretty comfortable for longer distances at 6’0” tall?

[@kevleemoto3925]

Yeah I don’t have an issue took some longer rides only thing that started to feel uncomfortable was the stock after some time. I hear the aftermarket ones are better.

[@gabrielfraenkel2473]

I have a fz-09 and a gsxs750. They are very similar. Faz is quicker and Suzuki seems faster. I prefer the 4 cylinder engine but the Yamaha has better ride position. Suspension is better on gsxs. That’s my opinion

[@mikekentin7671]

Nice video! What bug screen are you using ? And does it deflect the wind enough?

[@kevleemoto3925]

I’m using the Suzuki aftermarket windscreen and no unfortunately it’s just mainly for looks lol wind just hits me a bit higher on my chest and thanks!

[@Sam-xt5gb]

Boys, should I trade in my Triumph Thruxton as a down payment for one of these without telling Barb? Lemme know

[@trevorx6703]

Do you find the speedometer accurate? I find mine shows faster than what I am actually traveling. If I think I'm doing 90 kms (56mph) I'm actually doing 82 kms (50 mph).

[@shaggjkh1985]

Mine is 3mph faster than I'm actually going.

[@Dznuts2]

I felt the same on mine.

[@omfgwtfbbq90]

Get a HealTech Speedohealer 😊

[@madskreutzer8473]

Its european law that the speedometer shows 5-10% more than what you actually go. Its the same in cars. Look it up :)

[@paulconnell1309]

70 mph in first gear?

[@kevleemoto3925]

No I believe it was less than that lol I’m sure it can get up there but redlines sooner

[@ruysk]

Doesn't the Z900 have 125HP. Is 113HP from some rear wheel Dyno test?

[@Dznuts2]

Dyno is 105 hp. Look it up on KZbin.

[@akingkoleng2520]

It is equipped with slipper clutch?

[@anxiousappliance]

no

[@robertalkemade989]

i bought one barely used because is powerful too much hp for beginner

[@Heneral1989]

can you use is for 10hrs riding?

[@adrianbanda7826]

Hey brother where did you get the after market parts?

[@Dznuts2]

Where did you get the tank pad?
