Listen regardless what they say, I watched every video step by step! You are a BEAST! TY so much for not only helping me because I THINK YOUR AMAZING but, because you have TEAM WORK! It took me around 6 hours but, with your help and just to follow simple directions take your time and the help of the Suzuki Manual instruction guide... guess what, BOOM! THANK YOU! Sophia.

Great set of videos. All I needed were the specs for the cam timing, and the torque ratings for the various bolts and screws, so thanks for that. However, I'd also say that videos like these could also show an inexperienced home mechanic that jobs like these aren't so scary as they might first seem!

Good job on the video. Very useful to see someone go through the process and explain what and why they are doing it.

[@GreboGent]

This is a good set of videos, just one extra point, you really ought to have the head skimmed before you refit it, especially as it’s an aluminium head

Great video very informative. It also nice to see a female who can wrench on a bike.

Thanks for these videos. They have made this job sooo much easier. The last time I did this it was on a different type of bike, but using a manual that was translated (badly) from Japanese. I don't think the translator was a mechanic, since there were some alarming errors in getting the processes in order. This job has been so painless by comparison. Well done. Keep up the good work!

That was a great series. Was pretty helpful, even though I'll be doing this to an 850.

Absolutely remarkable

There is no way you can drop the exhaust cam with the timing marks as this lady is doing.i have a haynes workshop manual which gives the same procedure. if you try to to put the cam in one of the valves is trying to open the only way i achieved this was to compress the the bucket down then connect the camchain to the sprocket to line no1 arrow horizontaly then no 2 arrow at 12 o clock then line the rt mark up. i have been involved with motorcycles for 50 years be it the first time with a double overhead camshaft. the inlet cam drops in ok as described i have just rebuilt 2 of these engines and both had the same issue.

You're my hero.

Great video. Lots of usable info. How about a bottom end rebuild?

[@cjmO117]

That's what I was thinking. About to tackle a worn connecting rod bearing today. I might just make a video.

[@briankdrag]

My engine locks when I test-turn it after putting the cam caps and tensioner on. It feels like it catches on something. If I FORCE IT, it will push though whatever caused the tension. Then, it hits something big and won't turn anymore. When I take the cam tentioner off, the cam chain doesn't relax.

How much would i have to pay to have a top end rebuild done? Also how much would it cost to buy all the parts and specialty tools? All i have is a socket set and all correct size allen wrenches, and im mechanicly inclined enough to do it.

[@aeronwilliams94]

great stuff !

[@saairr]

thankyou so much

[@robertgrubbacom]

beergarage com / GSHeadOn aspx on 17th point from that article there is information that confuses me. Author advices to run idle engine for 15 minutes and then re tighten the head bolts when it became cold. What do You think of it? Is it necessary? Please advice me on it.

Piston ring bangles!

[@MGoncalves99]

My exhaust cam notches are not horizontal and vertical (number 1 and 2)

[@54x11]

timing is off?

[@aaadogman]

wow! are you single?...great vids very helpfull, would the specs be the same as a gs 450 engine? not sure exact model right now but its an older engine

[@monteclark1078]

she didn't torque the head bolts or cam caps correctly in order
