Default New Toy - GSX-R 750

Since fixing up the SV, I have been looking for a bit of a project that would leave me with something different. So I bought a '99 750 SRAD (points to anyone who recognoses where this one came from).

Few shots in the last light yesterday, I did clean it afterwards for some reason. Bikes now in the garage with no tank and air box as I work on a full service....











I'll keep updating this as I get it fettled and ready for the warm, dry roads of summer.

Uuugghhh, you have to sit on something that's had Paul's sweaty bits on it? I'd change the seat as the first part of the project!

Yep. Fair play to Paul, for getting it running again, I thought it was completely foobard. Shot to pieces I heard.

Very nice. You can bolt an SV front end straight on to one of those you know.

Well, the front brakes are best kept away from unless you like angry vibrations, it wont pull high up the revs and the chain makes interesting noises.

So far the seat has been removed and quarantined, as has the tank and airbox. Most of the vac lines are rotten, which could give a clue on the engine - it was running quite rich. Then I want to get the valve clearance and cam chain timing checked, along with a new tensioner for peace of mind.

New chain and sprockets, oil, plugs filter and some straight brake discs and it should be good. Oh and a fork service.
