In this how to video, I'm replacing the clutch in my 1982 Suzuki GS750E. The project is coming along nicely. Also in this episode, I am having the seat recovered, I'm replacing the fork seals, and more. How will it turn out? Let's find out together!

Wow Jon, you've made this look sooo SIMPLE! Seems as though any of "us" with really older bikes really "NEED" to "BE" , our own BIKE MECHS. The dealers don't touch them if they're this old!

@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 Год назад

For sure.

Thanks David!

Wow Jon, you've got one of those "Early" Torque Wrenches! That's the first type that I too bought back in '79

@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 Год назад

Right on!

I noticed a Wolfs Head oil box in your garage. I have used that oil previously in my 1991 Ford Turaus SHO. Fun car with an outstanding Yamaha Marine 6 cylinder good for 220 h/p and a 145 top end. I would use that in your motorcycles instead of the manufactures house brand oils you currently use. Motorcycle manufacturers do not make oil products they sub that out to main stream oil companies. Pennzoil produces the Wolfshead oil and also fills for Wallmarts house brand which is also a very good oil. I know this bc i used to work for Pennzoil Products company. Also check out a youtube channel called Project Farm as he tests all kinds of products and tools and does not take any advertising dollars from any company. Lots of great info from this guy. Keep up the great work love your channel. Really appreciate your professionalism in your videos and your lack of profanity is first class!!!

Jon, well done...wd-40 is more of a cleaner than lubricant..When i had problems w/my 2nd gs-1000g clutch slippage, I did not think of the stock springs being fatigued, I blamed the oil.So I added stiffer springs which i dont like.Stiffer springs solved the slippage in 2nd gear at 6k rpm but after watching this im probably going to try stock springs.If your daring mention the oil you prefer..Cheers..!

@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 Год назад

Thanks Gilbert! If you're asking what engine oil I use, most motorcycle specific 10w40 works fine. I don't have a favorite oil that I use all the time. I feel like the Kawasaki brand oil maintains the best shift quality between oil changes but have no real science to back that up.

What kind of grips are those? What kind of grips do you prefer? Your videos are great and very informative!

@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 Год назад

Thanks Chuck! These grips are cheap eBay grips. I'm not super picky about grips as long as they aren't the foam grips or too textured (like dirt bike grips). Avon makes some nice grips but they can be pricey.

@charlestomasino9161 Год назад

So was it the clutch or the cable was the problem?

@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 Год назад

It appears that it was a combination of overly stiff springs and a clutch cable that desperately needed lubrication (even though it appeared to be new).

@victorrodriguez-wx8gn Год назад

Greetings, where do I buy the clutch kit?

@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 Год назад

Great question, Victor! I would check with EBC to see if they make a complete kit for your bike. If they only make the fiber plates, I would use those and Suzuki steel plates. Or, you can use all Suzuki parts if you wish.

@ronschubert6240 Год назад

Great job on the bikes!!! What happens to the bikes when your done restoring them? Do you sell them? If yes how would I get to see them if I am interested in purchasing? thanks Ron

@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 Год назад

Hi Ron, I sell some when they're complete. I usually list them on Facebook and Craigslist locally.

@@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 ok ty-- i have owned 3 of the bikes your working on. 1976 Honda 550-4 lousy MPG 26-27---- 1982 Suzuki 750 GSE always thought it needed a 6th gear--- 1982 Kawasaki 1000 CSR-- got rid of the lousy handle bar good power and fast

@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 Год назад

@Ron Schubert Nice Ron. The CB550 was a friend's bike, so I can't comment on the mileage. I agree with your assessment of the GS750E and CSR1000.
