I Bought the Cheapest Suzuki GSXR at the Auction

[@BigDadGigaCHAD]

Was worried what was going to happen but am loving the new content, you guys are really putting out good stuff

[@SirLucien]

Awesome to see the hard work put, and we can learn from how positive you stay even when everything doesn't go perfect, this was one of two channels that convinced me to start riding this past year and I'm thankful you keep making great content.

[@BikesandBeards]

what was the other channel ?

[@SirLucien]

@@BikesandBeards Revzilla - Daily Rider and all the Beginner style videos for gear and such

[@therealforge]

@@SirLucien I'd say that's pretty good company to keep. Rev and B&B are on my short list for good content too.

[@RKMotorsports]

looks like I need to step up and do a 6 hour bike rebuild lol. Great job guys!

[@NoNameAdded]

you'd probably do it in 4 😅I watch & subbed to your channel too, both you and Bikes and beards have the best content 🙂👍

[@RKMotorsports]

@@NoNameAdded I have an 09 CBR I could probably knock out in 4 hours lol I might have to do that next 😎

[@NoNameAdded]

@@RKMotorsports Can believe it, also would love to see that 😁

[@frankflowers]

No need to fret, it took a bit longer than 8 hours so you're good

[@BikesandBeards]

Do it

[@rcgreaves]

Plastic welder kit with hot staples a great addition to my tool kit. Broken mount tabs can sometimes be as strong as new when hot melt is sketchy at best. Enjoying the new content.

[@Kevin24Seven]

I highly appreciate how honest you guys were with the whole build... so frustrating being an average Joe doing your own rebuild and wondering why everything isn't turning out perfect like in all the KZbin videos. Reality of the situation is those builds weren't perfect either, it's just that they don't show the imperfections for one reason or another. Your experience with aftermarket fairings for example was classic lol. Been there done that and will probably be there and do that again! I'm not paying as much as the bike value for OEM but you just have to expect broken clips, paint issues, etc and roll with it.

[@reyinvisible9550]

I learned how to ride a Honda 50cc when I was 8-9 years old. Got into an accident when I was 12 and have never been on a bike ever since. I am 46 years old and love the way you work on bikes.

[@OneZoNinja]

I could tell you guys were really into this build. Really proud of this build. Well so was I. This bike looks so killer. Makes me want to do one so bad

[@bryanrb21]

Aftermarket plastics may look cooler but OEM plastics always fit better and are usually better quality. Which is why they tend to cost more. Love the look of the color scheme!🔥🔥❤

[@richs7362]

I've heard that the piecing a bike or car back together to look good in photos is a common thing lately with the online auction folks. Used to be they were pictured as is with the damage photographed.

[@richs7362]

Not sire if its the Auction guys or the Ins, co though. I'm betting on the Ins, company!

[@davidbeaver39]

Good video guys. I really thought, Sean you were going to say I don't really know how to repair bikes, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express one time in college. You have actually taken 100 bikes apart. Well now I understand why whenever you get any bike problems more serious than basic maintenance, all we hear is HEY CRAIG. You have to get Craig a cape with a giant C on the front and a mask. Have him kinda jump into the shot everytime you call HEY CRAIG I NEED YOU. You are beyond lucky to have a friend like Craig with all that knowledge. It's a great trade-off with you guys. You two are probably going to be friends for life. I think most of the videos that are the kind that makes people laugh until they pee their pants are the ones with you and Craig only. You two just are naturally very funny together. Craig is a great straight man and you are the jokester. Perfect duo for great comedy because it's really natural and not forced. You both are definitely in your element. Keep up the great work guys!!!!!

[@crobin9150]

Hello Guys, I am a physician and get great joy and relaxation from watching your videos. I ride a honda shadow 750 and Indian Roadmaster - I wish i had the skills to work on bikes like you and your team are able to accomplish. Keep posting great video.

[@doktermobiel]

The only way to get the skills is by doing it. I've learned it by getting written off 80's stuff (if it failed, I'd get the scrap price for it still and not lose a bunch of money on it) and disassemble , replace or fix and assemble again. After two fails I learned from my mistakes and upped it a step at a time. It's very satisfying to learn tinkering and be able to fix things yourself.

[@jecob11111]

Great build, I watch your content like reading non fiction books. I own more than one motorcycle, and though I am not a mechanic, I believe us the two wheeled brothers (and sisters), are a bit more 'Hands On', than our four wheeled cousins. Again, a great clip. Keep it up.

[@epiicwiizard]

Really awesome to see you guys transition into different things. Your old crew was amazing but compliments to this camera team. Keep up the quality content. I have the GXS750 I love it

I'm a sportbike guy so always glad to see you guys working on sportbikes!!! With all the work you've done on Harleys you should bu used to dealing with oil leaks. 😜

Haha that is for sure a good one rightthere

[@MRMechanicRC]

Dude that thing looks soooo sweet, you guys did a great job

[@DJ_Cowboy]

I just picked up a 2006 750 for $250 the other day. It was a wild story and no it wasn't stolen. Got a long road ahead of me to get it back on the road. Can't wait to start my winter project.

[@benjionetwo]

Having oil hosed on the back tyre is great. Keeps it looking fresh and healthy.

[@M16xDr0pSh0tz]

[@PaulCostan]

Awesome! I had my GSXR-750 for year before it got stolen. I did over 80k on it. I had 2 accident on it, but it kept going. I had replaced fairing and mirrors and it looks new again. Thanks for sharing rebuild, this brought back happy memories. Recent got back on the bike again, now I ride Indian Scout bobber.

[@volvo09]

That blows... That's the crappy part of a bike, especially one so many people abuse and want parts from... Someone can spot a nice one and it gets carried off, or whatever...

[@jacobpie3692]

Awesome rebuild, absolutely love the colors & sweet video idea, filming, working and editing

[@BeanieBiker_AutisticRider]

Had my K1 1000 in bits for the last 6 months because of a fuelling issue, put her back together today and she runs perfectly now after getting a salvaged fuel pump, and relining and cleaning the tank and fresh hoses. My K1 is absolutely mint after the rebuild. Owned this bike for 8 years now, and doubt I will ever sell her on, with only 14.5k miles on the clock for a 21yr old bike, loving these vids

[@justwatchingvideos7944]

On that model the clutch cable actually goes on the outside of the frame. It's covered by the fairings.. should have a stay tab hooked to it .. the plastics do look sick!!

[@mr_fishh2881]

Thats a great looking bike. The color scheme looks awesome. I have always been a fan of the GSXR's👍👍🔥🔥🔥❤

[@newdawn8477]

The bolts that hold the ignition lock on are known as a "shear bolt", they have 2 tricks up their sleeve. 1. When they get tighten, they have a standard hex on the top and are designed to shear off at a specific torque setting, so you know when the hex head snaps off it is up to torque. 2. Is kinda obvious, since the bolt head shears off there is no easy way of getting the bolts out. I've grown up with a locksmith and I've found there are 2 main ways of removing them. First is a punch with a sharp point with blunt angle and a decent hammer, finding the right angle on the bolt if the part you'll have to figure out by yourself. Second is if you have the space, use a dremil/rotary tool with their mini cut off wheel, a long with a impact hammer screwdriver. Cut a slot into the head of the bolt and make sure you get a decent depth or it's just going to round. Hope you get the oil leak sorted.

[@treeguyable]

Used those breakaway bolts on ignition switches, like 40 yrs ago at the car dealership. Back then, it was cheaper to just cut the bolts with a grinder, possibly the lock housing, and replace the whole switch, if needed, was cheaper most of the time, if fussing around with the bolts would take too long.

[@waylon7371]

[@MrArtisticGuy]

I love your show. After watching nearly a hundred of your episodes, I can say with confidence that you are clearly a quality human being with a huge heart, strong integrity, wonderful sense of humor and a high level of humility. Because of your disclosure about having more experience taking bikes apart than putting them together;.... As a builder , mechanic, and rider of 47 years, I have often been humbled by similar struggles and the knowledge that many things are made much easier once you know the tricks that come from experience or from those who are willing to share it. If I may humbly suggest that you watch a few episodes of your compatriot KZbin channel " RK Motorsports" . Also a man of professional integrity and a strong work ethic. He does nothing but KZbin videos chronicling crashed sports bike rebuilds. Usually 20 minutes per bike with a lot of time laps. He seems to have great success putting most of the body work on "one panel at a time" rather then trying to pre-assemble them in sub sections as you seemed to struggle with. They seem to go on much easier one piece at a time and you don't have to be an octopus once the bike is holding the parts in place for you. Keep up the good and entertaining work Sir. In fact, As I finish this, I see that he ( RK Motorsports ) also commented. Thanks to you all for all the entertaining content created on behalf of the rest of us lazy bastards that can barely find time to ride because we are so busy sitting on our asses watching you getting it done.

[@jonomasonILoveU]

I have the 21 GSX, have not lifted a finger to sevice it, all done a the dealership, love the bike, my second Suzuki, last bike was a Harley, 30 yrs ago, love this channel.

[@AlexLocken]

That’s crazy I just built a gsxr 600 myself and did that same kind of design with the split up word decals on the side. Looks hella dope. Nice work

[@BrandonLund]

You got the best tire you can buy in my opinion. They hook up real nice.

[@TheCdubbleyoo]

I don't think I've ever seen this much of a current GSXR 6 frame. The lines of it are quite nice. I think Suzuki could have done more with the body work that matched the line/and shapes of the frame to make the bike look more distinctive. That said, this model looks pretty nice with just the upper fairing. I wonder if a GSXS 750 is coming that uses more of this frame with a more robust subframe.

[@bommer22]

I rebuilt that very same year gsxr 600 last year. I said to myself when I saw the tank cover , let's see how fast he will pick up on that he needs to mod it for proper fit. Hats off as it didn't take long at all.

[@bommer22]

You got a tremendous deal as well. I need to go to live auctions apparently because I can't beat Nigeria online through copart.

[@trustdre]

[@petersmith3814]

Just had a brilliant idea. I recently bought my dream bike (zx-14) that would be perfect for your next 8 hour build. There’s nothing wrong with it but I feel like the engine is begging to be turbocharged and then dropped (along with the transmission) into an airplane.

[@thebearandtulip]

did the exact same thing on a 06 Busa- had a crash ( not me, a"friend") and replaced all plastic with a Chinese after-market kit. Terrible! holes didn't line up, and those screw towers on the inside were so thin, even the super crapy tiny screws provided would crack them leaving you to replace the ferring completely or come up with a workaround, which never lasts and you end up replacing it anyway. Meanwhile, you are on a ride, and your tail light is flopping around being held on by the wires. Massive headache. Spend the $, it's worth it. One man's opinion, I hope you guys had better results.

[@repairguruny5843]

This video pretty much sums up my current situation. I bought my first bike! A salvaged R3. Got it for like $1800 only to end up costing me around $3200 to get back to good condition. Still not finished but soon. Hopefully I don’t run into more problems. But anyways, loved the video. Keep it going guys.

never be afraid of locktite 599, most auto parts stores as well as the big box hardware, or you can go to any Honda dealer, Moto or Car and get a tube of Honda bond, the stuff is amazing, and looks nice when applied well..ive used that stuff since the 80s

[@g.g.hochstetler2286]

I just bought an 04 R1 that only needed a coil. $100 part. I replaced all 4 but it was basically a $4100 R1 in nearly mint condition with 15k miles. Cleanest 04 I’ve ever seen.

Interesting, I did an '86' Ninga 900 years ago from auction, guy from a local dealer had a big box of speed parts. Spent the winter souping it up and doing body cleanup. Got it out in the spring and eased it down the road slowly getting use to the performance. By the second day I'm doing a buck forty on the way to work, end of the month 185 decided it was too much fun and sold it for a nice profit. Damn fine bike! Yours is a real up grade well done!

Just as Craig made the glug glug sound pouring oil I was having a swig of my beer...perfect timing 👌😎

[@flops7023]

If the oil looks like it is leaking from the bottom phillips head screw of the waterpump, then swap the waterpump. The waterpump has a weeping hole on the bottom it is hard to see with the pump on the bike. When one of the internal seals goes bad the weeping hole will leak coolant or oil to prevent the pump from accidently mixing the two. I am currently waiting for mine to come in the mail haha. could be something else but might save you some time

I have a personal friend who will do any body work you want at any quality you want. Excellent quality and excellent production speed. I'd love to link you up. They used to build full vehicles, so a motorcycle frame might actually be a bit of a relief.

[@synitarthrax5618]

Just an FYI, the oil leak is probably a little shaft that goes into the motor where the shifter is. When you're changing sprockets you can just pull it out and back in again but after that it leaks like hell. The fix is to add some grease to it as you slide it back in. Completely works as long as you don't pull it out again which you never really need to do changing sprockets or not. I guess I was just curious when I pulled it out, which I didn't need to do. You might want to check this out.

[@BikesandBeards]

It did not appear to be coming from the shifter shaft

Broken ABS can be bonded using acetone or, better yet, MEK. It’s called solvent bonding and it’s way better than gluing because it makes the two pieces one again. As strong as before the break if done right.
