This is SO REAL, i'd rather watch this than any new movie - Keep it comin, lads !!

Thank you Dave and Dave for helping share knowledge with the community!

listening to the frustration in Moss's voice reminds me of when I helped my Dad in the garage. Good ol days of getting slapped in the back of the head for holding the flashlight wrong.

Thank You for sharing your time and knowledge, I have learned so much!

Great job guys, love to see the new episodes. And good humour, keep it up! Love a bit of sarcasm haha

@Dave - Awesome, love rebuild videos, basic mechanics and some ingenuity go a long way!

Always entertaining to see how another man turns a wrench- we all have our techniques and tricks, hassles and bloody knuckles. Good call on the axle castle nut Dave Williams, as AvE would say "give it a tappy-tap tap".

The original tool kit screwdriver down the back of the engine ... classic ... I'll bet a previous owner was looking for that for a good half hour or so ... before giving up and going for a ride ... whilst thinking that the rear end had firmed up a touch all of a sudden 🤣😂

"Delightful trash", absolutely love it. Dave, your Down Under accent and sense of humor makes for great videos!

FINALLY the bike build starts its been a few months atleast since the bike showed up. Lookkng foward to this build series

It was the cobwebs keeping the rear axle in. ;) ROFL! Obviously stripping it to check everything was the way to go, given what you're using it for. Learning a lot, keep up the great!

Love that you already knew what you’d get flamed on 🤣🤣 great video

Love the philosophy of full tear down i bought a 06 gsxr750 3 weeks ago fully tore it down put a new engine chain sprokets breaks exhaust power commander and all the odds and ends of maintenance like filters grease and what not im 4k in and besides fork seals its basically brand new now. Best way to do it on a old bike if you can get it for the right price got mine cheap due to blow motor

Brilliant 36 minutes of video, so glad I'm not the only guy working on bikes talking to himself and asking himself questions. Amazing how a little time a patients wins out over clumping things with big hammers. Still alot to do and a ways to go but it is looking promising even with all the corrosion. Just servicing that hasn't been done but that is the state of ignorance most riders are carrying around with them. Hopefully educating videos like this one help remove that ignorance and save someone from having that moment nobody seems to want to talk about. Again great video keep up the Good work Mr. Williams and of course Thanks for you incite Mr. Moss

Absolutely priceless information. You guys ROCK!!!

This really is a great video series. 🙂👍❤️🏍 All kinds of great information to be learned here. Thanks for taking the time to make and post the video. Keep yourselves safe! Randy

Finally someone who captured mechanical work as it is... enjoyed the video. Well done mate

Great video. I did the same thing on my gsxr 2001 to change the bearings on the swingarm. I put the footpegs the other way around and it gave more stability while working on it. Just don 't forget to put the footpegs in the right way when the job is done. Grtz from Belgium

I was giggling the entire time with the Closed Captioning to comments expected. Having made a How-I-Do-It video I know how much hate people have and how much better they assume they are.

Respect and enjoy your hard work. Keep it on!

Thanks for the follow along and explaining 🎉these vids do help me alot

Good show. There's a lot of satisfaction bringing a neglected bike back to life but it can cost more than you think. I've done the same, and it's a good reminder of why I bought a new bike.

I'm liking this series although it makes me wonder how I ever survived on my first used sportbike....

I'm doing my K5 750 currently. It's not nearly as bad as this one, but it's getting a new Penske shock, new OZ wheels and new bearings all around. Really enjoying these vids!

The ones that raged at you guys for the price you got the bike for, would probably go and ride it before checking anything on the bike. Thing is, as i get more into track bikes and work on mine, that every little defect normally brings up something else and before you know it not only you have an underperforming machine but also an unsafe one. Like Moss says, riding is quite unsafe as it is so let's make sure we look after ourselves (and other, especially on track) as much as we can.

This is an excellent "tear down" video. I really enjoyed it. Thanks. Suscribed already.

This is so helpful, thank you for this series!

I have a k5 500 as my track bike. Been all the way down to a bare frame, so I know this bike intimately. Oh, and from just a general mechanics perspective, you probably should have soaked everything down with penetrating oil the day before. Oh, and I have some spare parts I'd trade for some knowledge. 1) Did I see the right side chain adjuster bent? I've had bikes with too much pressure and binding the axle, and those look like they're super far out. 2) The drive cushions are about that loose from the factory. 3) The lower shock linkage bolts go in dry. There's a bearing in the shock and linkage. Doesn't matter if all the bolts are corroded and seized. They're seized to what essentially are the inner races. 4) The brake line holds the swingarm up. Take it off and the shock comes out easy. 5) Kickstand bracket bolts had to be ground off my bike.... they wouldn't come out. Then again, mine were in with red loctite.

great video picking a 750 up shortly cant wait

The best channel ever!

I really enjoy watching people that know what they are doing work. The lack of penetrating oil has me panicking though. I snapped a bolt once. The folks that make that oil all get to send their kids to college when i work on something. Keep up the good work.

"But it's a GSXR" You should know better Dave. Never under estimate the legend.

This was quite amusing to watch, the fact that this guy, a truly talented individual ALSO has to bend over ans take one for the team when working on older, second-hand bikes. I had and still have some issues like this on mine, little things you find. I can relate to this hilarity.

Glad to see I'm not the only professional mechanic (elevators) that has some trouble with seemingly simple things like a cotter pin stuck! My son bought one of these wrecked and he had trouble with the bearings. Someone before him had messed with the rear end and didn't reassemble it right. Brought the rear wheel assembly to a mc shop and they showed him what his wheel bearing issue was.

I think Dave won on points, a great tutorial for a good removal process.🇬🇧

Interesting. I'm not a mechanic and I'm learning to work on my bike these days (basics). Went to school, which helped enormously, but once I got into it, I found there was a huge array of unspoken assumptions running, for example, knowing how tight is right tight, and how much I can reef on a seized bolt before it will break. That just comes with experience. I'm learning A LOT from this video, like the rattle gun bit, MUCH appreciated.

Great video. It seems I’m late to the party, but loving it anyway.

I Don't think The Dave's are going to find any Treaseurs in the front either :) (Thank you for the Video)

Good job guys.

if you guys arent doing anything ( I know you have a lot of time on your hands) you are more than welcome to come and tear down my 02 VFR800, we are going to refresh the motor over the winter.

Info-greatness #subscribed 👍🏼

You made that look like so much hard work lol

I wonder what you guys would think of my same gen 750 with over 80k miles 🤣. Thanks for the vid. I’ve had a spare swing arm for years I’ll finally paint and put on.

Huge respect for Dave Moss as a suspension/bike expert but his general mechanicing skills are on the rough side. I appreciate its an older bike but the same care should be taken if it’s an old Gsxr or a brand new Panigale. He is after all, setting an example of his work.

finally i found a great viedeo ! i can learn a lot of my bike bc of u !! thank u so muuuuuch !!! i suscrib !!

i'm about to do my 2015 aprilia caponord front and rear. 86k miles. superplush will do the fork seals. these videos are very confidence inspiring for me. then i'll do my 2008 aprilia mana. catalyst reaction did the forks and reset a hyperpro shock for me. both will be complete tear downs.

You'll have less issues breaking nuts and bolts lose by using a product named (KROIL) from NAPA. There's 2 kinds and it work way better than PB BLASTER. From watching this teardown, I'm going to do this to my CBR929RR also my ZX12R. Great video

Its in way better condition than an old 36,000 mile 750 SRAD I had. What I thought was bad swingarm pivot bearings was actually the swingarm itself was split around the bearing on one side. Got it all done eventually though with a 'new' swingarm off ebay and it was good to go. Luckily so many of these are crashed / thrashed that parts are dirt cheap. Got the replacement swingarm for £30. Enjoyed the process though (and the vid), it brought back memories :)

Dmt love you guys. Don’t let the jerks and their comments interfere with the greatness 🤗

Great video 👍👍👍👍

Just greased my 2008 750. It really was pretty easy. Most annoying thing is removing the parts to get access to the swing-arm. I gave in and bought the motion pro castle nut socket and axle socket tools.

I just love your videos. Realistic, no-nonsense. Smiling all the way.... Those stuck nuts/studs/axles... Maaaan! Everything goes smooth up to a point, then what I call the "fuckening" happens hahahaha

I wished i were your assistant mechanic. It would be amazin! Ahaha

This actually very entertaining and beneficial, thanks guys

Check the cush drive forward and back play when the wheel and sprocket hub are on the bike and in place

Can we save the chain on a 2013 gsxr 750? My spools broke in a crash and they need replacement.

Nice vid.

It's amazing how people pay all this $$ for a bike and then totally neglect it... unless it was stolen and ran until it died of course.

Is the rear tire the same on a 05 gsxr 600 because I'm pretty sure my spacer on the chain side for rear tire is on the outside of the sprocket not the inside and ur camera man kinda messed the shit up when u was taking the rear tire off so I couldn't really see all the way.

Why is this so interesting? I’m hooked?

Dave I agree with you, there is already enough risk in riding, why let a mechanical fault add to that. That's why after every tire change I re-torque every bold that the tire man has touched, back to factory value because the last thing I want on my mind is second guessing if my axle nut is going to fall off at 120mph

Hey dave ive got a very odd question where do you get the orange gloves i like them ive never saw the orange before looks like they have plenty of grip

@01:32 "pretty basic time spent taking things apart"...the moment you realize you're running with the big dogs 😎👍

Thank you! Cheers!

They should of payed you $400 to take that away. It sure made good content watching Dave struggle getting those bolts off. Reminds me of the majority of my diy endeavors

good job gubbs….you know how to...

Great video learning loads. But considering how much trouble he's having with undoing tight nuts and bolts. I'm surprised he didn't take 15mins to soak all the bolts with pentrating lube, might of helped him out.

Love how he’s calling out the trolls haha

Just did the same on my 89 GSXR250, you managed to do it with a lot less swearing than I did. Also mine is 30yrs old and didn't look half as bad, was the 750 stored underwater?

Hi guys! Thank you for the great videos! Please HELP! The seat stuck on my 1986 Slabby! Can't turn the key! Do you might have an idea how to take off the seat without breaking anything?

We always take photos before a first time disassembly.

Where can I get those jack stands?

locking pin i was tilted he didnt just take the middle part from the start and pull up from there haha

Even Dave's mistakes are on porpoise. LOL. Dave should be your go to source.

Hi guys, Nice video ! Wonder why there is no heat used to loosen al those seased bolts...

Love that green hair, cute !

I'd just give up with the 1 man mission. Would end up begging camera Dave to help me if I was mossy on some parts of this 😂 to stressful when things get stuck.

Just go ride it. 13:28 - would have turned out well! 😶 Great vid, Daves! 👌🏻

I see that dave hasn't worked on a dinosaur like this one in a LONG time. . LOL...

As my dad always said ‘ tighten before you loosen ‘

why not spray something luby in the bolts? Like wd40? or something like that?

So as I'm looking at it, steel parts corrode into rust. Aluminum parts corrode white. I'm wondering if the corrosion you're speaking of is actually the oxidized lube or some such not actual metal.

Hey Dave, how do I get access to all your content??? If it's paid that's cool but Im looking for one place where I can find it all

Can't help thinking that raising the bike on that 'bike lift' would have made some of that work easier!

Where is your app ? I can't find it in play store

When is the continuation of this???!!!

Does the lift the bike's not work? Just thinking about your back Dave. Enjoying this strip down vid.

Good video. Definitely shows lack of suspension maintenance. Dave your not trying to say the internet/KZfaq is full of whingers? Lol. 👍

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!

i truely love your vids, but I'm both intrigued why you dont use a pneumatic airwrench as much as I do and why you kept that horrible chain on ...

"that's why God gave us feet".......hilarious Guys! Top Top tear down Video.

Do you do any virtual help with bike builds/repairs ?

First rule of wrenching, never use the hoist, always crawl on the ground! ;)

hello imdondie from the philippines davao can you help me find a CDI for Suzuki g GS750G im working on my bike rebuilding it back i cant find any of here in our country if you can help please thank you so much

6:35 G'day Dave, the 'wobbling everywhere' you're seeing in the cush' drive is not 'everywhere' and will not cause the driven sprocket to 'smash forward' as you say, you need rotating play to do that just as you indicated with your hands while trying to describe it, rotating play you don't have (or at least didn't demonstrate if it was there). I would argue your rubber inserts are in excellent condition; the free-play you've shown is irrelevant and would be exactly the same with new rubbers.

Looks about as stable as my wife :)

Hey Dave, please ask your friend to buy more bikes :)

It always boggles my mind that most motorbike owners do not read their manuals. Especially the part where it says what and when needs maintenance & lubrication. One crucial part is the linkage on rear shock - little corrosion will change the way it behaves.

5 minutes into premium adjustment of bike ergonomics: Dave: In order to reach the brake lever in turn you have to pull the throttle to lift your index and power finger. You increased your stopping time. Audience: Wow this is big brain time! 30 minutes into rebuilding a bike Dave: Ugh Arghh 🔧👨‍🦲💦 *Bolts releases* Williams: She's a delicate one! 🏍️👀 Dave: Ughhhhhhhh 🔧👨‍🦲💦💦💦💦 *bolts released but cannot extract* Williams: HAHAHAHAHA

That's not corrosion it's dry lube from the factory , just clean it up and put new one
