GSX-R750L Oil-Cooled Maintenance, Deco-mainte, and Other

28 July 2023

(*´Д｀)The outside temperature is way too hot!
I don’t feel like riding the bike even 1mm.

Since I have somewhat less desk work to do, I’d like to move on to the actual work.

I always think about this…
Even if I organize data or information on my PC, “it doesn’t look clean visually.”

Is this an era where information sells? I want to organize it well (*´ω｀*)

I received a spare rear caliper (*´ω｀*)
Since it’s currently off, it’s good to finish it cleanly for later.
*By the way, it’s a Kawasaki Tokico. Shared with Suzuki.

I wasn’t planning to replace the seals…
One dust seal “got warped.”
So I’ll replace it.

By the way, when ordering from Kawasaki:
Dust Seal 49006-1212 ¥1,133 x2
Oil Seal 43049-1097 ¥484 x2
Partition Seal 43049-1004 ¥297 x1

When ordering from Suzuki:
Seal Set, Piston 69101-05840-000 ¥1,445
Everything as a set…
Suzuki really is like this, I think wistfully.

I’m writing this simply, but…
Compare with other manufacturers and choose the cheaper option if it’s the same part.
Pretty good person, right? What do you think?

That’s how I finished up the caliper.
Calipers without anodizing like this are rare these days.

Recent brakes don’t deteriorate easily, you know.

This pad also has no remaining material, so I’ll replace it too.

Advantage Nissin 30/34 90MM Pitch

Depending on the condition, it’s sometimes better to buy new than to overhaul.

・Body is super dirty (want to clean it) ・Piston replacement required ・Pad replacement required

When you buy new,
pads are included and everything is brand new.
If you’re considering an overhaul, buy a new one and sell the used one on Yahoo Auctions—that’s the way to go.
*The Inazuma 1200 is 100MM so it won’t work!

Pull out one side at a time and apply metal rubber ♪

If you do this work first, the initial break-in will be very fast.

The bolts were also dirty, so I replaced them with Yamaha hollow bolts too (*´ω｀*)

I had a bad feeling, so I checked the rear…

Since over 30 years have passed, it’s only natural…
That’s right! It’s already a 33-year-old vehicle.

It’s like riding a Z from 2000?
So what about that Z…
Well, it’s a monster when you include shops and parts availability…

The rear brake has a lower ratio than the front, so you need to be careful.

If it gets too worn, when you step on it, “it won’t come back.”
After 10-15 years, you absolutely need to check the rear master once.
