Oops, out of focus… well, never mind.
Z750FX-1 prices have gotten absolutely crazy these days.
Back in the day, it seemed like this was the bike people rode when they couldn’t get a Z1000MK2. There were a lot of folks who just swapped the emblems…
Time really does fly, doesn’t it (‘ω’)ノ
We finally got around to the brake hose that kept getting pushed back.
When you use off-the-shelf hose, it ends up looking like this…
Honestly, I’ve never seen an off-the-shelf hose that installs properly. We don’t handle or install any off-the-shelf or proprietary hoses at all.
You’re going to strip the M6 bolt on the swingarm?
We use the 61196-38G00 guide brake hose, the same one famous on the Bandit 1200 K6 and others.
The opening makes the work really easy (‘ω’)ノ
This time we went with a rather unconventional layout.
We’re using G/R fittings, and I’m still amazed at how many variations there are in threaded fittings.
I’d like to consider crimped fittings once there are more options available…
And that’s how the hose layout came together (‘ω’)ノ
It’s set up so it’s easy to clean the caliper and remove the swingarm, with a nice simple layout.
The customer wanted to join the barling faith, so I gave it my best shot.
The mounting method was the trickiest part… but we managed to pull it off (‘ω’)ノ
We installed it like this!
The engine oil is SHELL ADVANCE ULTRA 15W-50.
If you’re replacing the clutch wire, you should also service this release arm—it becomes super light and smooth.
I accidentally forgot to order the throttle wire…
The shift rod assembly is a bit off. It has a cut cover, so I installed it inside with a spacer to keep it straight.
When you keep it moving straight without unnecessary force, shifting becomes smooth.
Waiting on the throttle wire (‘ω’)ノ
