One more job to do. Now and again if I hit a bump in the rd and hi ish speeds the clutch can suddenly slip. It's an intermittent fault.

Finely finished the old girl. Don't think it's to bad for a 30 year old bike. Was a sorry looking restricted jap market £170 garage find. Spent a few bob and sorted out loads of repairs but have enjoyed bringing it back to life. The hardest job was getting rid of the restriction. The predator exhaust was a real find and sounds great.

Can you recommend a wax treatment

I have polished the engine cases and rocker cover to a nice finish but keep having to clean as they are not protected. What's the best way to keep then clean.

Brakes sorted. I stripped the caliper . Put in new seals, cleaned up the pistons. Used the right red grease, replaced the pads, used copper grease and all is well with a re bleed. Nice to know is wasn't to difficult a job in the end even for a non mechanic like me. Quite satisfying and money saving. Best check the fronts now

Keep up the good work. I recently resurrected an old gsx 750. It's a labour of love and the jobs are endless but keep at it as its very rewarding

Does anyone know if GS1000 4 in to 1 Harris pipe will fit my old GSX 750 Es. I have an exhaust in great condition but need the down pipes. There is one for sale not far from me.

Thanks for the link

Going to have to find a drawing or spec sheet and see what's meant to go on the wheel axel spacers etc. it was a barn find and has been a labour of love and hate. Hate at the moment

Both pistons have been cleaned and operate correctly now, one of them was stuck hence bad wear on one side. Both pistons have been set all the way back. It looks like the whole caliper is not aligned as the space for the disc is over to one side, strange

I have overhauled the rear caliper on my gsx 750 es. 30 years of crud etc didn't help but now all ok after a good clean of the pistons and new seals and pads but I now have a weird problem. The caliper is not central to the disc and 1 side of the new pads won't go in as the is not enough space even with the pistons all the way back. Can anyone help or know why this has happens. When I changed the pads 1 side was right down to the steel and the other side was not to bad hence one piston was fitter out than the other but that should not be the problem as the pistons are all the way back

Thanks all. Like you all say its running fine then leave it alone

All sorted now. Replaced all the electrics and now running much better and fuel consumption is much better
