Suzuki GSX 1400, New Rear EBC Disc & Copper Sintered Pads !

[@LS-uv9gg]

Very nice to see the care being shown to this classic beauty. I, too, just put in a set of rear brake pads. I had previously bought the pads last year in anticipation, then of course couldn't find them no matter where I looked, when the time came to change them. I knew 100%, and that's exactly how it worked, as soon as I re-purchased and installed another new set, I found the first pair of pads within 5 minutes. Sigh. 😑 🤣

[@Moonfleet41]

Sure thing buddy, done exactly that myself... a good little trick I worked out is to keep parts like that tucked in your document with the log book and you'll always find them!

[@kevinhancock4064]

I do that a lot lol

Great video Del. The center stand is perfect for jobs like this. I wish more motorcycle came with one.

Yeah, they are handy... one of these is a good investment though ! www.spanner-monkey.co.uk/scissor-stand-for-motorcycles-300kg-115617?search=MC5905&description=true

[@tonygriffiths2485]

Not criticism, but an idea only. I would have replaced the seals in the caliper. After 70,000 miles they maybe working OK, but for how long given the new pressures involved with the new parts ? Lovely job either way. Good old sprocket and chain set, have had many of those in my time :) Further to my Blackbird 55W HID set blinking when on battery only, the main beam causes the dip to flash as does the flash switch. The guy from my dealer reckons its the current, even from a fully charged battery is not enough oomph, they work OK with the engine running. Just though I'd pass that on. Of course now, with hindsight (such a wonderful thing) I could have run two batteries in paralel to see if they would work on battery only. Schtump !

In watching today's video, it occurred to me that your channel has some of the best videography of any of the motorcycle-related channels. You are successful in getting close-up shots that no one else attempts. This makes the videos much more helpful to do-it-yourself mechanics. Thank you!

[@Moonfleet41]

Thank you Steve, that's very kind of you to say, and much appreciated. !

[@tommylitchfield3450]

I totally agree! A well filmed video like the ones here are just a treat to watch, and so well filmed that you can just pause at will and figure out whatever may have caused you to scratch your head a moment and go to KZbin in the first place to see if anyone out there has some help for you on your current problem. D&P have you covered, with both superb close ups as well as good spoken tips. All the fun to watch bits, like focusing on a thing for a split second longer than strictly required, then "Whoosh!"... Del has snatched it right out of its peaceful sleeping place in the tool box or off the shelf before it even knows it's in danger of being put to work! Super enjoyable content!

Just asking, but when putting new pads in, I have always used copper ease, is this the case

[@MrOutOfTheVoid]

I must have an Eagle eye, as I noticed the chain adjustment right away when you were taking off the rear wheel. I first thought, Where's the chain and sprockets? Then realized, this is Delboy's Garage, it has to be in the next video :) I also noticed that a lot of the way you do things, I have been doing before I caught your channel. Like the axle and spacer trick. This can be real important on some bikes as the axle and spacers help align the discs to the calipers. Had a friend who needed help with this issue when he had the spacers in the wrong locations, and believe it or not, the wrong axle! He has 2 of the same bike, albeit, different years and the axles are slightly different lengths due to different size forks and triple clamp spacing. When he was swapping the front wheel over, he grabbed wrong axle. Helped him suss it out and taught him the same trick you mentioned. Just layout everything in order on the ground and/or put it back on the bike, depending on the task at hand.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks for sharing your story mate, always good to pass on old tips and tricks! Yes, chain and sprockets next, just upgrading and replacing parts ready for the summer... have a great weekend and ride safe!

You ever have issues with the brake pad bolts stripping? (the socket head) If so, any idea of what is the best order of action for that sort of thing? outside of having it cut out etc. Luckily yours there was in decent nick. That EBC disc is lovely btw.

[@Moonfleet41]

I have done a few videos covering that over the years... have you tried tapping a torx bit in the wrung out hole, they'll usually bite enough to get a grip on it and turn it out.... if that doesn't work, then next would be stripping the caliper into it's two halves so you can get hold of the other end of the pin with grips and turn it out that way !

[@DonHutchins]

Looks great as always, Del. I'm glad to hear the next project will be chain and sprockets... as I watched, I actually said out loud... 'Del, just change out those sprockets and chain while you are in there! ;)' ... and so yeah, of course... already the plan. All my best Del, happy weekend to you.

Hey buddy, good to hear from you all the way from NZ! Yes, the chain was corroded and fully stretched out and with the caliper, it operates just fine and doesn't need rebuilding yet... with this bike I'm just dealing with worn out consumables, servicing and a few little upgrades, it's not a restoration at this point..

Good vid mate👌

[@kevinhancock4064]

I' don't tend to torque the banjo bolts these days just check for leaks. 23nm isn't a lot . You didn't say what torque you personally used for rear sprocket nuts ? I had an issue years ago on my 1400 (had since 2007 now ) I went by suzuki specs and rounded a thread (102nm) ....ended up going with 60nm and loctite . Not budged since . ....plus on torquing up engine bolts recently the top 155mm bolt /nut rounded on the threads..couldn't remove it either . Drilled it out awaiting new bolt . Haynes suggested from tech department to go with 55nm and loctite. Its an m14 wheelie as the lower bolt is m16 (head) ......don't go to much into their torque specs ..I have the manual but I'm wary these days . Nice work. I came to nose lol

[@Moonfleet41]

There are no sprocket nuts in this video mate, not sure what you mean... do you mean the disc bolts and it is critical to torque them up so they're even and hold the disc in true alignment... something I'm sure you're aware of, or perhaps not if you've stripped a few bolts, is to reduce the torque setting if it's a wet thread... some way when using wet threadlock, reduce the torque setting by as much as 25%... so with that in mind, if your bolt is oily, just from an oily dirty job, it should be considered a wet thread and reduced accordingly... it's only bone dry threads and new fasteners that can withstand the full force of the factory torque setting because that's what the threads are like when first installed at the factory, bone dry and new... it's just good mechanical practice to understand that not all specifications are rigid when the situation you're working with is variable.

[@kevinhancock4064]

@Delboy's Garage carrier bolts I meant my bad del was a long day yesterday lol like the seating video . Tidy job

[@Moonfleet41]

Great question Kamil, and a very popular debate, imo there are no two more similar bikes from different manufacturers in existence, they are so alike... And I 've had both, more than once!, the only difference that stands out is that I found the XJR to be a little more relaxed and somewhat more of a cruiser... with the GSX being slighly more 'aggressive' in it's power delivery and handling, but there's no doubt they are both glorious and legendary motorcycles, and I'd have another XJR tomorrow!

[@springy-2112]

I would second Del's observation. I've owned the xjr1300, and ridden but not owned the Gsx 14. I actually chose the xjr over the gsx purely because its less hooligan more relaxed in its power delivery and riding position. You can still hooligan the xjr no prob but I found it suited me better. But heck the Gsx I bloody gorgeous! The cb1300 is a really good looking beast too! I love 'em all! 👍✌️❤️🤗

You could also invert the way of the rear axle from the left to the right with the nut on the brake way. This way the nut coult tight when running. As it us now its a risk of loose the nut when running.

I see your logic, but that is a bit of a myth buddy, the only time to reverse an axle is when it benefits access to loosening the nut for chain tension on bikes where the exhaust's in the way, such as Harley Sportsters.
