    And that's exactly what I'm doing in this video. Have a look at the step-by-step procedure, like it or not, share it with friends and as always, leave a comment if you feel like it.

    Man, I just bought 1990 gsxr750 oil cooled with 80 000 km. I'm going to rebuild it, and your videos are amazing. Thank you!

    Thanks for the pains you have gone to filming this in detail and the information shared here.
    I have a very tired example of this model that gets regular use in 20 yrs of ownership.
    This will be an invaluable recourse when I come to rejuvenate it,

      @@ChrisSofos Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.
      Not being a mechanic myself, you make look a lot less daunting than going in cold.
      Mid 80's was my formative yrs for bike ownership. i had a VF750 F then the first VFR750.
      I always admired the early GSXR's, after having a ride on a friends slab side it kinda put me off, so I was surprised that I liked my test ride on a second hand Slingshot.
      It's also the best looking GSXR in my opinion, well second to the 1989 RR model.

    Hey bro,what oil do you use for breaking in the engine after honning the cylinders and installing new piston rings??im doing my fzr 1000 now and wanted a second opinion o this!thank you!

    • @ChrisSofos
      @ChrisSofos  6 місяців тому +1

      Hi there. I'm using mineral oil. Not synthetic or semi-synthetic. Mineral oil is the best for engine breaking in. Apparently, it helps the piston rings to sit better on the cylinder walls. I used the 10w40 Bel-Ray mineral oil for my FZR1000.
      Keep up the good work!

      Probably nothing, but when you want to sell this bike for big backs, you must have a solid proof that everything is brand new in there.

      I understand your explanation Chris but a rebuild like this can get very expensive have u weighed up the benefits of the rebuild vs the money you’re likely to get from the bike with rebuilt engine or not rebuilt engine you’re right tho it is good to watch the rebuild
