How to service a motorcycle - Suzuki GSX-S750

[@M1sterFancyPants]

Great video, thank you sir. How did you remove the orange side reflectors on the front wheel?

[@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538]

Thank you! The previous owner removed the reflectors. If they are stick-on units, dental floss can be used to cut through the adhesive.

[@SickPrid3]

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 🤷‍♂

[@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538]

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.

[@polikalo74]

Nice video. I have the same bike. I have the yoshi exhaust and put the db killer in it... the bottom end torque improved.

[@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538]

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.

[@MrGSXSIR]

Awesome video! Do you think you could show how to properly adjust a clutch cable?

[@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538]

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!

[@MrGSXSIR]

@@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 Jon, awesome tips! Thank you very much! Any advice on what do you when all adjusters are maxed out?

[@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538]

@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).

[@MrGSXSIR]

@@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

[@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538]

@@MrGSXSIR You're welcome. The dial by your clutch lever should be where you adjust your cable tension.

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

[@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538]

The fender eliminator was on when I bought the bike, so I don't know how it was installed. Sorry.

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

[@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538]

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!

[@blipco5]

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.

[@peymantalebian1769]

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 ?

[@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538]

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.

[@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538]

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.

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.

[@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538]

Some vibes are present on all motorcycles. It's hard to tell if yours is excessive without riding it. Cheers!

[@seth3000gt]

@@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.

[@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538]

@@seth3000gt That's an interesting report. It seems like something might be up. Maybe you can get a second opinion. Good luck with it.

[@nrm3247]

I have a 2021 z/abs and it does not vibrate excessively under any part of the rev range. I’d suggest getting a second opinion. You could possibly have an engine mounting bolt loose or if you’re feeling the vibration at speed rather than rpm’s, then you could have a bearing issue in the front.

[@seth3000gt]

@@nrm3247 I sold it and got a Z900 SE. As much as I loved the GSXS and after 3 visits to the dealer for bad vibration issues I just couldn't enjoy it above 4-5k rpms. So sad. All the dealer ever told me was to just ride the piss out of it and you won't notice the vibrations. Literally every time I took it to them either the manager, the salesman or the service department mechanics would take it out and just rev it to redline and bring it back saying, "it revs fine". I never once said to them it doesn't rev up! And it had less than 200 miles on it. I was following the break in instructions pretty religiously. So they really pissed me off all taking their turn with it. So, off to a different dealer I went and ended up with the Z. It has vibration as well but a more normal type of vibration I feel like. Something was defective on my GSXS. But, if nobody was willing to investigate the vibration issue then I had no choice. I'm still pretty upset about it all. I liked that thing.

[@nymetsfan912]

Do you do this check every time you ride?

[@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538]

I check tire pressure weekly and look at the oil level. Otherwise, this is my oil change procedure.

Would you recommend this bike?

[@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538]

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.

[@rugershooter5268]

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

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.
