  • This is for the GSX enthusiast really - lots of stills, come cool music and a few comic video clips.
    The bike had suffered the common 2nd/6th gear fault, we decided that whilst the engine was out we should completely rebuilt the machine and bring it gleaming in to 2021.
    I should add that we weren't aiming to create a show bike, hence some of the original patina and a few edges were left as found. We wanted a sound, smart and slicker looking machine than before, I think we achieved that.
    Powder-coated frame, new paint, heated grips, new oil cooler, beautifully modded clocks, hugger, nickel plated cases, a new tail-end and some LED goodies, new shocks. Oh yeah - AND a sorted gearbox :-)
    Thanks for watching.

    Love it, I refurbed the slave and master cylinder on the clutch on my gsx, in packet was a round 5p sizes metal plastic covered round seal with a hole in it. I thought mmm done everything might as well put this in. " big mistake!" It's the push rod seal that goes through engine. It wasn't leaking it was fine, it was in kit. Errrrrrrr. After pocking it for a couple of hours ( should have known better) ended up engine out of bike, upside down, split engine in half to replace a 50p seal. Errors don't any body make same mistake. Also banjo bolts on reservoirs different thread to calipers why? That causes problems. Great video

    Unfortunately, you forgot to restore the fork's lower legs.
    Other than that, great work!

      Thanks - the rear under-tray is the standard Suzuki part carefully cut down following the profile. The light fitting is an Ebay fits all part. Hope this helps.

    Very unlucky to get a knackered box. The 14 is almost indestructible. Unless you hop it up.
