Suzuki GSX 750 ES - Cost £400 So Will It Run?

In this video, I introduce my new project motorcycle and diagnose the issue as to why it did not start, and then why it was revving too high at idle.
This motorcycle belongs to my partner. She is currently completing her full motorcycle licence and hopefully will be able to ride it soon.
Thanks for watching.

These old GSX 750's never die. It just takes some love to make them sing. Like mine does!

[@themustacheman]

Yes they are awesome. I have a limited mechanical knowledge, so my partner and I ended up getting a specialist to do the remaining tweaks and fixes so the bike was fully up and running. Glad you enjoy your Suzuki, we also love ours! I have a GSX550E in perfect condition

4:18 You can see the bike running. To clarify around the 2:45 mark, the nut holding the throttle cable in place was supposed to be BELOW the arm holder. A few seconds later on the next cut, I realised that and fixed that mistake. The two nuts are supposed to act as locking nuts, so vibrations do not cause them to come loose. The throttle cable gained enough play to operate fine after this.

Iv just bought one to restore or slightly modify lol not sure yet 👍👍👍😜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦕🦄😁🤞✌️

[@themustacheman]

Awesome! I've seen a lot of people modify these bikes into drag racers. Myself and my partner got this bike running fully (MOT all good and on the road) with some help from a local specialist (JapRetro) and now it sits in my garage until next spring.

Sounded like it was only firing on 3. I have a 40 year old one still going strong. Have you a recent video of this?

[@themustacheman]

I do plan on doing an update on this bike. Yes it was firing on only 3, just needed a new plug. Shes firing on all 4 now, but we have a rectifier issue. Got a new rectifier but the wiring is a mess and I need a new connector to refit the rectifer to the wiring harness. Bit of a pain but some soldering and shrinky rubber should be all I need.
