Suzuki GSX-R 750 Full Engine Build, Part 2 of 7

[@heiferhopper]

First off, this is testament to what regular maintenance will do for the engine as well as highlighting a piece of well engineered machinery. So glad I ran across this series. My son just bought a 2000 GSXR750 and we are about to tear into the cylinder head. This has demystified the process significantly. Thank you so much for making this video series!

[@Desertduleler_88]

That's incredible condition for a 98K mile GSXR engine, I'd say this bike was always serviced. Can't wait for the next installment, excellent video.

[@richardjones3112]

A testimony to Suzuki engineers.Fantastic series of videos-an addictive watch.Thanks for your efforts.

[@simonsays625]

Your videos are great. Did my Gixer gearbox a couple years ago and next I’m doing an engine strip on another old Gixer so I’m back for some revision.

[@flexjay87]

I have been working on my own motorcycles for 48 years, but not to this extent, just maintenance, shocks, brakes, oil, filters etc. Engine overhaul is above my pay grade :)

[@ThomasMoore.1]

Excellent series of videos. Really enjoying the level of detail and learned alot watching you do the strip down, as you mentioned , some little things an inexperienced first timer will miss unless they have brain fully engaged on disassembly. That's three of the series down and looking forward to watching a few more very soon. Thanks again

[@-DC-]

Said in part one wouldn't be at all surprised if its actually in fantastic condition internally, Suzuki build a very high quality engine and serviced correctly they can cover a massive mileage.

[@rsbharley4766]

Nice video Jim, thanks for taking the time to share. Cheers

[@DJRTP]

Nice work, as soon as you removed everything from the engine block my brain thought " acid dip the block!" LOL

[@savio.855]

Gonna keep watching this. Might be useful for my SRAD 😀

[@edvinasp7946]

I am currently rebuilding my k5 999cc engine because of knocking connecting rod, thanks for you videos, it really helped me. Still wondering why it broke

[@victorgonza4528]

Nice work .

[@danielwoodhouse1870]

Hey. I was wondering if you could make some comments or show how you keep your nuts and bolts organised so you know where they go back on during reassemble? I learn so much with these videos thanks…

[@SuperbikeSurgeryTV]

Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed it! I tend to rely on my memory fairly heavily! I can't remember what I have for my tea last night but for some reason I have a photographic memory when it comes to mechanical things. An assortment of plastic bags and a permanent marker pen are useful to keep things organised.

[@danielwoodhouse1870]

@@SuperbikeSurgeryTV lucky you! Thanks anyway👍 I’m a 43 year old apprentice so I need a system to ensure everything goes back we’re it should LOL. Thanks again mate. I appreciate the training your videos provide.

[@H-M-78]

I think it's an exellent design. Nice to work with the gearbox without disturbing the crank. Busa does not have it. But the integrated cylinder I'm not a fan of, or what it's called.

[@paultanton6721]

Good work Jim, do you think the condition of the Engine Internals is the result of meticulous Oil Changes or a reflection of the Quality of Modern Oils?.

[@steve23464]

Jim would have the definitive answer of course, but from my own experience I would say it's the high quality build that Japanese engines are know for first, then oil change frequency then oil quality. 05 Zx10r with 102k miles all original internal components. Doesn't burn oil and still fast as hell. I changed my oil with the cheapest oil I can find generally around 3500 miles plus or minus with the filter every other change. I believe the main key for longevity is not beating the living hell out of the motor banging it off the rev limiter at every stop light. Ride it hard but don't abuse it.

[@multishit6664]

@@steve23464 In the 1990s Suzuki took the 750 engine.. famous for 24 hour endurance racing.. and put it on the engine dyno for 24 hours at redline 13k rpm.. and then pulled it apart for inspection to weed out weak parts.. upon inspection virtually nothing was worn.

[@AdrenalineRush28]

Mate i have a question , im rebuilding my k7 1000 ..ill purchase new camshaft but idk which is the size for the new bearing rods and camshaft bearings...which color/size must i put on the brand new camshaft ill be so happy if u can help

[@SuperbikeSurgeryTV]

You'll need to cross reference the numbers on the Crank and Crankcase to get the bearing colour, then double check by measuring the actual oil clearance. No two engines are the same.

[@Matt-we7si]

If it was just the valve stem oil seals leaking , personally I would have just done a top end rebuild , but If the customer has money to burn then a full rebuild is always a pleasure

[@JessiesMusic]

How do you make it seem so easy to remove these bolts? any tips on removing bolts safer to avoid stripping? I'm about to takle this same project on my own. Thanks in advanced...🤗

[@axl9530]

Great and very informing series! I have a k5 gsx-r 600 that has a small leak of oil around one of the top right corner bolts that you unscrew at 4:52. Is there any solution to get that fixed without pulling out the engine? some kind of silicone or something that can be applied from the outside that you know of? thank you for your work to film and document the disassembly

[@SuperbikeSurgeryTV]

No 100% sure where you mean, coming from around the head of the bolt?

[@axl9530]

@@SuperbikeSurgeryTV it’s not leaking round the threads of the bolt, but from the separation of the two cases you take apart in this video (where the gasket should be) but on that “little corner” of the case

[@SuperbikeSurgeryTV]

Can you get to the inside? If you can you may be able to spread a very small amount of Threebond on the inside edge of the gasket surface. Obviously the textbook way is to split the cases.

[@axl9530]

@@SuperbikeSurgeryTV I agree that the best method is to split the cases. Right now the engine is mounted on the motorcycle so that's why I was wondering if there is something I can apply from the outside and that is gonna hold, without taking the engine off.

[@peted7295]

Clearly this engine has been well maintained. What I'd like to know is at what intervals were the oil changes performed? If it's simply following the manufacturers recommendations it proves that these things will last. However more frequent changes allude to the extra expense being worth it in the long run.

[@aidenlothian9642]

I'd also be interested to hear this information. Some people change their bikes oil every 3000 miles. In the owners manual for my zx10r one of the scheduled maintenance intervals for an oil change is 9000 miles long and most are at 7500 miles. I trust kawasaki for my torque specs that keep me safe everyday so why wouldn't I trust their oil drain interval. Surely they would have exhaustively tested this aspect of maintenance aswell. So changing oil sooner is basically a waste of money. My bothers 06 fireblade is coming up on 70000 miles he doesn't do in between oil changes.

[@motorart4670]

I noted there are no gaskets on the cases. We're they assembled with a liquid gasket?

[@SuperbikeSurgeryTV]

Yes....

[@manueltodd601]

6:35 I’m fucking waffling 😭

[@sanktsalva8886]

Great Video Series, thank you very much for your work to film and comment that! How many miles/kilometers the engine got used? (Is it a GSX-R 750 from 2003/2004?)

[@sanktsalva8886]

You mentioned it in the fourth video: 98.000 miles Impressive in what good shape it is. Did you drive and maintain it yourself?

[@SuperbikeSurgeryTV]

@@sanktsalva8886 No it's a customers bike. You may not have realised that there's a part zero.. this is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6W1m5J7ibB0os0

[@sanktsalva8886]

​@@SuperbikeSurgeryTV Yes, you are right. The KZbin algorithm had suggested me Part 1 first and continued with the rest except Part 0. Thank you for the advice/link! I really learn a lot by your videos through your demonstrations and detailed explanations! The GSR 750 and the GSX-S 750 have a very similar engine spec: Do you know if they changed the way how the produce their main engine internals (except the Zylinderhead) like the pistons, crankshaft, engineblock, zylinder coating and so on? Do you recognize any technical improovements to these models engines appart from the 5. and 6. Generation GSX-R 750? (One question in two :D)

[@sltcam2188]

Great vid, what tool did you use to remove pistons screws?

Replate what? The cylinders?

@@SuperbikeSurgeryTV yep. I didn't find anyone able to make new playing on multi cylinder engine. Have you ever dealt with that? I did plenty of research to no avail. I was even tempted to press in a liner instead (and I understand why it's not that great idea). So I was surprised when you talked about plating gsxr cylinders like it's not an issue. Thx

[@vojtavacek8516]

@@SuperbikeSurgeryTV yeah, I did speak to them couple of months ago. Seems I'm out of luck. "The problem with the R6 motor is the additional crank case casting that is with cylinder block & the fact that the cylinders are too close together to plate."

[@SuperbikeSurgeryTV]

@@vojtavacek8516 Not sure what's going on with them? I've had cylinders done with upper crank cases attached in the past. I also see from the website that they have stopped doing cylinders needing welding repairs. Maybe a change of staff. I know the guy doing the welding and machine work was an old boy, Maybe he retired!

So is the gearbox accessable without having to take the headbolts out?
