Suzuki GSX-R 750 SRAD Carburetor Rebuild, Refitting and More Problems!

My description disappeared when I first uploaded this! Sorry about that!
Getting there, progress is being made :) In this video I re-assemble the carbs and re fit them to the bike....I then discover another problem!!
Also, this isn't a tutorial, use it for tips if you like but I'm not a mechanic and anything you do that ends up exploding your bike is at your own risk.

So the next video will have me getting the tank put together full and fuel in it, we're also getting that engine started one way or the other so I can heat up that ancient oil and get it out!!! WE'RE SO CLOSE :D

[@eddieray3907]

There is a yellow plug in part in the front of the bike. Yellow and green wires on one side on other side it should be yellow and black. Cut all 4 at the plug ins and wire em straight to its opposite sides

[@patrickleston7391]

Finally got my '96 GSXR 750 in the factory colors. Been waiting a lifetime seemingly to get this. The bike is like is running rich. Previous owner tinkered and I believe he replaced them with a set from Japan. Your video helps much but still since I have never done this its going to be a challenge....Can't wait

[@TheGorillaBiker]

Ah very nice, congrats :) Nothing like finally realising a dream like that :) Hey that's all part of the fun, you'll end up knowing it inside out, best of luck :)

Very good and clear and focused. A direct 12v to the starter, see if it spins? I agree sidestand, and neutral switches too. Good Luck.

[@TheGorillaBiker]

Thanks Stephen :) It's spinning now, a couple of loving taps of a hammer freed it up, to be expected after so many years sitting I suppose! :)

[@mickayc]

Glad you got it turning over in the end, this carb rebuild will help me no end with my old Gixxer. Was gonna say you could test starter by connecting a battery directly to its terminals but looks like you figured it out. Keep it up boss 👍🏼

[@TheGorillaBiker]

I'm hoping I can even get time to get it running this evening :) Glad it'll be helpful, I took my time figuring it out to try make it as useful for others as possible! Yeah I was going to try that but I had a feeling it was just stuck as could be :P Thanks man :)

Look so pretty Ultrasonic cleaner is very sound Lol those brake levers are niiiccceee. I really like em NIPPLE? LIKE....ON A BOOBIE? HAHAHA LOL Intimidate the starter I wanna hear that engine roar You are infact a youtube certified mechanic. Goodbye my love.

[@TheGorillaBiker]

I do also really like it tbh, and they more I work on it the more I'm like, yeah I'll like maintaining this baii! Haha they are actually class when they outlaw class sexy carbed bikes I'll hand them on the wall...and then cry. The ultrasonic cleaner is unreal. Haha I do not like the levers they'll be going :P Yes...exactly like that 😂😂😂😂 I did. It actually worked. 😂😂 I doubt it, be careful or Jake(actual mechanic) and them will be after me to steal my soul. Goodbye Mon cheri

[@onse5646]

should have found this video earlier. i have the same bike (actually the same color too) and i just did a carburetor renovation. Good video and good to know that you can find gsx-r srad videos on youtube 👍🏼

[@TheGorillaBiker]

Ah class :) You have a fine bike 😁😁 I have loads up on it and plenty more to come :) Thanks!

[@onse5646]

@@TheGorillaBiker how many turns i screw when adjusting carburetors? I have one and 1/4 open now. I will anyway synchronize these when i get the bike in the pile.

[@TheGorillaBiker]

I have my pilot screws set at 2 turns out. That's to the book for my region, it does vary place to place depending on elevation tho.

[@nanibahra5487]

Love the gsxr vids. I have a agusta f4rr but wanted a srad 600 so bought one and then found a 750 same year same colour and bought that one much to my wife’s joy. 🤣. Love picking up some tips from you 👍👍👍

[@TheGorillaBiker]

Hahaha we'll both eventually be shot :D I'm a huge fan of the 750s engine tbh, love them. Glad you like the vids :)

[@ruslangsxr1911]

Hi,man! one of the newbie of our ru-SRAD public referred me your video about carbs, with doubts about your way of assembly down-side valves... 10th minute. so, it's funny, i made the same error in assembly as you just did too, years ago, when i firstly took a look there) - "they" (valves) can't work that way, with metal plate at the bottom as you put it. you must put the spring at the bottom(yellow cap),then put a plate "as a hat". other way the valve doesn't open. so,your carbs presently doesn't react at the brain signal (through a solenoid), valves don't operating at all. the result is : lack of power around 20% , in low-middle range( 3-7k), probably your favorite mode) info : 1fockin hundred percent.

[@TheGorillaBiker]

Ah, well thanks for letting me know!! I must swap it around and see how much of a difference it makes :) Weirdly the aftermarket manual has it wrong but the service manual I just found has it right(your way). I was actually naturally riding the bike more above 7k tbh it was too slow under that, so maybe partly due to this. I'll swap it all around anyway :) Looking at the spacing and spring it should still actuate at least partially, the metal plate is probably to protect the diaphragm if the spring was to slip over the plastic cap.....Ooops!! :D Thanks again anyway :)

[@ruslangsxr1911]

@@TheGorillaBiker a metal plate has a humble purpose) to concentare the spring pressure in the center of diaphragm.and yes to(to protect the diaphragm if the spring was to slip over the plastic cap) without wobbling etc. it's a simple air-valve. doesnt matter how widely it's open. theres high frq ping from CPU. only in some low-middle range. the basic stage - totally closed. when valve start to open- plastic throttles begin to fall.theres a cycle. they never fall cuz there is ping-signal. on\off. when you pulling widely and wildly)- those small valves constantly ever closed. the metal springs(which pushing back-down the plastic throttles) are still unperfect(linear obv). so they made this "garden" in order to correct height of rise the butterflies

[@TheGorillaBiker]

Ahhhh ok, well now I am very excited to fix this and try it :D Thanks!! :)

[@NooBiker]

I'm a bit surprised you didn't take the opportunity to clean the top of the engine block before fitting the carbs back on. That looked super grimy! I like the orange (vacuum?) pipes! I've never gotten under the tank of my bikes, still working up the courage...

[@TheGorillaBiker]

It's rotten, it'll all be cleaned once it's squared away and running, don't want to jump in to that and get my hopes up too early!! :D Vacuum pipes indeed :) They're actually really nice in there I think :D It's scary I won't lie, especially with carbs....just always remember is worst case you've to go to a mechanic with your tail between your legs :D

[@cathallennon5968]

The parts cleaner was worth it anyway they're spotless well done good job. Ah I'd say she'll start probably just starter stuck, you looked tired so a well rested gorilla will fix it.💪💪

[@TheGorillaBiker]

Definitely! And it will be cleaning many more :) It was indeed just a stuck starter, a very stuck starter!! Have it spinning now so hopefully soon it'll be singing :) I'm wrecked! Keeping these videos going and running the 100km for movember is taking it out of me but better than not being busy!

[@cathallennon5968]

Ah good stuff she will be screaming down the road In no time can't wait to see it 😁. yeah the 100km fair play to u lad takes a lot of time and effort. I'm going to donate to it now 👍

Hopefully by Feb I'll have everything sorted :) saving for the chain, sprockets and tyres now :) Thanks I saw that email come in there very much appreciated :)

[@ricardocabrera7817]

2024, fixing 2000 GSXR 600, any information if rebuilding carbs would help with idling issues. Blip the throttle, and it revs and stays at 3-4krpms. ONLY happens when the choke is off. Turn choke on, and the problem is much less or doesn't happen. Besides that, their are missing fittings, air/vacuumlines, wiring harness looks like it was messed with. spark plug connector to the coil for 3 was on 4 and 4 on 3. Any info or tips or how to fix? the series has been helpful so far on giving me an idea on what can be repaired. THANKYOU!!

[@dan64654]

@thegorillabiker, have you finguret out the starting issue? You could bypass the clutch-switch to see if thats the bugger 👍

[@TheGorillaBiker]

Oh god yeah ages ago! The starter motor was sticking :) The bike is finsihed now and all :) I'll be wiring around those switches anyway as I don't like them :)

[@kikirider6643]

The heating for the carbs, it's not for the winter. It's a silly thing invented by japanese so when fuel sprays in, it doesn;t gets frozen, wich in our temperatures, never happens. My bike had a similar system, but i took it out, it's absolutely uselles

[@TheGorillaBiker]

Ahhhhh ok 😂😂 I just assumed it was for winter cus I didn't get what it was for 😂 oh well. Ah it's doing no harm plugged in there for now :P

[@Roostabergers]

Does not sound like the starter to me as you should still get a click or something. Do you have the clutch switch plugged in?

[@TheGorillaBiker]

It was in the end it was just mega stuck, a couple of loving taps with a hammer as I cranked it got it moving :)

[@motormuisie1024]

Try sidestand switch

Since I made this video I think I have it sorted, side stand switch was good , looks like it was the starter!!

[@Francismoore-qq7pb]

Great video the orange lines look great on it. I know i had a problem with the starter on my own bike as was sitting up 7 years or so and i think i hammered at it with a screwdriver to free it and it worked. Whats left to do to the bike otherwise from starting it?

[@TheGorillaBiker]

I actually love them, pity they're hidden tbh :P That's actually all it was in the end, or seems to be, got it turning over by cranking it and tapping at the starter for about 10 mins. It was sitting 13 years to be fair. Forks and brakes. After that it's good to go but will need new tyres too

[@marscobras8281]

My sources say 1.5 turns out on the idle fuel..2.5 will make a rich idle

[@TheGorillaBiker]

Fair enough, my Suzuki service manual is what I was following along with and it ran perfectly for a long time after this, although it also ran fine after I swapped the exhaust so it very well may have been a touch rich.

[@MonkeyButtRides]

Ah man, hoodie looks great on you! Thanks for the hoodie air time and glad it's keeping you warm. I'm going to be digging out my carbs today actually and pulling the tank. I hope the carbs are just good to go. Great video, lots of detail. I hope the starter motor is just a relay, sounds like it is since it's not making any sounds at all, maybe a fuse? Also maybe this will buy me some time and I can get my motor running first?!?!? Ah...prolly not. I may have to come back to this video for reference if I have to take my carbs apart again.

[@TheGorillaBiker]

Haha thanks :P Not at all expect to see it more 😁😁 They might just need a quick blast of good carb cleaner on all the moving parts but if they went in ok they should be ok :) I may have it solved, you'll know more next Saturday 😉 So I should be ok to get it running first we'll see 😂 Glad it might be useful :)

Whats about mixture screw adjustment , in manual all it says is to turn back so much as was before istall , the thing is all wus different . . . Maybe you know how much turns uot they should to sit?

[@TheGorillaBiker]

Ahhh yes that can happen! If depends on your geographic location, but most places are 2 turns out. So you could start with that

Hi fella, where would I get a rectifier for a 1996 GSXR 750 they seem to mainly start from 97 to 2005

[@TheGorillaBiker]

96/97 or T/V use the same rectifier from what I've seen so order a 97 one and you should be grand!

[@Srgthe]

would doubt its the starter, sounds more like sidestand switch or if she has one a fall over sensor or gear sensor, good luck

[@TheGorillaBiker]

It was indeed the starter, stuck as the come!! Freed up and spinning now :) Everyone has no faith in my checking the switches, I would be hurt but I am an idiot I suppose so I'll take it :D

Brill how to mate, one of the best I've seen. Have you tried turning the starter over directly off the battery? Could just be a relay/dodgy earth. Is it in gear? :D
