GPZ750(F) Yoshimura digital temperature gauge installation, oil change, EBC rear disc replacement, fluid, fuel sensor replacement, and more

26 May 2023

Once I removed the carb, I encountered a severe overflow and was somewhat surprised…
This happens occasionally, doesn’t it… mysterious.

Well then, let’s proceed with the work quickly!

EBC brake – I chose the link from the GS1000.

They offer various discs with standard outer diameter.
Brake discs that have been discontinued domestically are interesting too.

The suspension is borrowed from a GPZ900R, and the disc is for GPZ750(F).
This 260φ was the reason for ordering it. …7MM is amazing

Daytona offers a rare sintered metal pad in their lineup.

APRACING CP2696/3696/3697/4638
Of course it works with 2195 as well.

I ordered this for myself too (*´ω｀*)

The support shape is poor, and I need to file down the pad backing plate for the caliper to fit.
*From before

I made a note on the back of the pad for the next person to work on it.

I dislike drain plugs without flanges, so I’ll swap it to the HRC type.
*Currently it’s Endurance brand. Part number 90081NX4000

This is my first time installing an oil temperature sensor on this engine.
PT threads in such a place… very specialized.

It’s gripped in tightly, so
using a 1/2 size wrench to transmit the loosening force directly works great.

Direct transmission without flexing is super important.

Putting on the Suzuki OEM sensor cover makes it look a bit more stock.

It’s originally for the OP switch and a bit large, so I’ll tie it down.

Nowadays you can see both oil temperature and voltage in this size, which is really convenient~

I used these two on the air-cooled GPZ750(F)

Making brackets for small parts is really difficult.

Not the making itself, but “the balance between the component being attached and the price & appearance”
The more you refine it, the higher the price becomes.

However, if you carelessly co-mount it in an easy location,
maintainability suffers and it ends up disappointing.

Looking at the handlebar area,
you can tell what’s inside the bike… it’s… something.

As much as possible, “attach it where you want to attach it” is important.

Avoid easy “convenient locations” as much as possible… that’s the way.
