Onderhoud en reparatie Suzuki GT750-B (BS)

Installed BOLT 13, we made a test run, no gear box oil has leaked. NOTICE: Now we understand why there was only 800cc gearbox oil left in the engine after we drained the gear box oil for the maintenace.

So BOLT 13 ready to install: With the aluminum washer and enough sealant to prevent gear box oil leakage again.

On this photo BOLT 13 wthout all the washers and other stuff and the NEEDED aluminum washer. We needed a mirror to repair this oil leakage. And yes doing maintenance in this way is very hard to do.

Some one really did a bad job, you can see that there are more parts installed on BOLT 13, a secure washer, a wire clamp, and a normal washer. All wrong!

You can see a drop of gearbox oil hanging on BOLT 13. This just means: The former engine rebuilder did NOT read the maintenance manual and doesn't have any knowledge of the GT750 engine at all.

There where we found the gearbox oil under the engine was a WELL KNOWN place! There is a special M8 bolt in the lower engine casing: Bolt 13, this bolt needs a special treatment! Yes you have to do so!

So we did a lot of work on this GT750: Re-routed wire cables and clutch cable on the left side. All the work (it was a lot of work) is done on this GT750, the GT750 can go back to the owner.

The seal at the rear wheel is totaly worn. When you installe refurbished parts you need to sand it untill the surfaces are shining.

The other side of the GT750, notice the license plate, some installed the license plate with 5 mm difference on left and right side. As i am a technician i can not handle that so we installed the license plate as it should be.

When we did the yearly maintenance we discovered that the rear tire was 25years old, TO OLD. We informed the client and we had to replace the rear tire by a new one.

So we solved the problem by installing the clutch cable lever in the right position by turning the mechanism 180dg. Now you can use the clutch easily.

The SECOND problem: The installed clutch cable was much to long, 15cm longer than a genuine clutch cable. On routing the clutch cable on the GT750 the cable makes to sharp angles and the clutch cable won't move anymore.

We started to re-route the cables, we noticed that it was really imposible to activate the clutch. Tried several things to repair that. At least we opened the round clutch cover and found the FIRST problem: Wrong installed clutch cable lever. The lever should be in the horizontal position.

After all radiator repaires were done we installed the radiator subtank and connected the sub tank to the radiator.

Broken radiator sub tank connection, we need to repair this of course. We drilled a 6mm hole filed the outside welding en used gasket rings, a banjo bolt with a securing nut and a banjo connection for the repair.

We found that the radiator sub tank connection on the radiator was clogged by corrosion, when we tried to unclogg the connection this part separated from the radiator. We need to repair this of course.

When we drained the coolant, we found that there was still coolant in the radiator sub tank, so the cooling system is clogged somewhere. Sadly the radiator sub tank has been repaired in the past. We will replace the radiator sub tank.

We had to replace the TO SOFT cooling hoses. It was possible that the installed hoses would give cooling problems when driving. When we removed these hoses we found severe corrosion, this because the clamp wasn't fastened enough. We removed the corrosion by cleaning.

With a petrol botlle connected on the carburetors we have started the engine and the engine is "alive" again. Now we can synchronize the carburetors and adjust the air mix screw for the right exhaust temperature.

Disassembling the carburetors. Take a good look on this photo: You can see already that the floats DON't have the same heigts, the center carburetor was 5mm lower than Left and Right. Also you can see that the carburetors are very dirty and haven't seen petrol for a long time.

Of course we tested all cylinders, in this photo's we tested the LEFT cylinder. We found nothing wrong on all the three cylinders. We will inform the client about checking the gearbox oil more often.

As we want to know where the 1200cc gearbox oil went we did a pressure test on the crankshaft seals. the pressure we use is 0,5bar. When the crankshaft seals are OK the pressure in the cylinder should stay on 0,5bar.

We drained the gearbox oil. This is what was in the engine. We put this gearbox oil in an empty oil cannister, there was 800cc left in the gearbox, give it 1000cc because there is always oil left in the engine. There is in total 1200cc gearbox oil gone or not enough gearbox oil filled.

On an unknown GT bike we always do a gearbox oil level check. We always use a screw driver as a kind of dipstick, on a normal level there should be approximately 1cm of gearbox oil on the tip of the screw driver.

BAD elektricity, the plus wire needs to be replaced. Look at the wire loom, without the loose wires you can get chafings, as it is installed, so we need to correct this. We also replaced the MINUS connection because it was to old and to damaged.

First we checked the ignition, this ignition plate looks like it swam in salt water, severe corrosion of all the parts. This means we need new contactpoint or better new elektronic ignition.

Nothing wrong with 2stroke oil problems on this GT750. We noticed that all the four exhaust pipes were VERY DRY, we mean not really oily as it should be. It is possiblem that the engine runs to lean.
