Neglected GS750 Revival Finale: Fixing Everything to Run and Ride
In this video we finally finish the GS750 by addressing all the things to make this ride safely; brakes, tires, and suspension all rebuilt or new. What started as a "Will it Run?" video, has now culminated into a solid running and riding vintage Suzuki.

Is it Ever Worth Buying a Project Car?
zhlédnutí 551Před měsícem
This video could seriously be over an hour long as there is a lot to cover on this topic but this is a brief overview of some common pitfalls, traps, and failures to look out for and help the decision making process of getting a project car. I feel like I have to say that this video is not financial advice, and if you did buy a project car that turned out to be a pile its not my fault.
Rescuing Our Forgotten Suzuki GS750

The BMW 650i is the Cheapest and Dumbest Way to Get a Twin Turbo V8
zhlédnutí 1,8KPřed 3 měsíci
In this video we take a look at this BMW 650i that I purchased at a local auto auction. This BMW has 227k miles but is in such good condition that I thought it was a good idea to take a risk on it. I give a quick overview of the car and why I bought it, plus go over some of the work that I had to do immediately after getting the car home.

2013 Lexus GX460: Why Would Anyone Buy A Dinosaur?
zhlédnutí 8KPřed 4 měsíci
In this video I go over the history of the GX460, where it started from, and what it is today. This is my personal SUV and really got it because the previous family car died and it was time to shop around for something that can fit the family, and no, I wasn't going to buy a minivan.
I Took My Cheap E90 BMW Project to a Rally Cross Event

In this episode, I take the Cheap $600 E90 BMW 325xi to a rally cross event after spending all of part one getting it fixed up and running. Unsurprisingly, some things broke but over all it still "ran and drove" enough to get it back on the trailer and into the garage to assess the damage. In the second half of this video, I go over all the details to fix the car and even pick up a parts car th...

The steering rack was actually a warranty recall in 1985
hello warm greetings from Pontassieve province of Florence Italy I am the esteemed owner of a 4x4 off-road vehicle Suzuki Jimmy 4x4 with a 1.3 LT petrol m13a engine, all original from 2001, all original that I usually use on rural and forest tracks and with the right mud tyres it goes well and for me the Suzuki Jimmy 4x4 even if it is completely original I see that it is in its natural habitat in tackling rural farm tracks and forest roads that are used by logging companies for the transport of timber with forestry trucks!
Just a quick comment , lose the music your commentary is all you need .
Thanks for the feedback, on the last two videos on this GS750, I got rid of the music
@@Dan_And_Daves_Garage good job , great videos keep them coming . Thanks from Mike
I like the g.s. 554 4 cylinder nice bikes good find.😮
You can wiggle that key, and turn ignition on ..
Trust me, I tried. It felt like I was going to snap the key in the ignition.
swap the tires between them or your test is irrelevant
Both are awesome Cruiser. they are three tons vehicles so gas mileages are expected.
72 hp this motorbike!! saludos!!
Is this an x?
Yes, 325xi
@@Dan_And_Daves_Garageif you want to do stuff like this, maybe make it into a rally project?
That's pretty tempting to do, but the big problem is that having a fully prepped rally car is a big financial expense and takes a lot of time. Let alone engineering a competitive car. Rally cross was definitely more time/budget friendly and at the end of the day I still have a car I can use on the street.
@@Dan_And_Daves_Garage oh ok
Hi, this is Chloe from AUXITO, we would like to invite your to review our LED bulbs of your 2013 Lexus GX460! May I know your email to send the collab details?Thanks!

Replace the fuel filter pressure and the o2 sensors. Give a good clean for the MAF sensor, vanos solenoid, throttle body and valve intake. And like you said replace the valve gaskets! Replace the Valvetronic motor when you’ll do the gaskets. Easy fix and fun to do. 600$ great deal 👍 Good job 💪
Really like your videos man and old bikes i had a yamaha 650 maxim ..well kept beautiful blue and the same bike is in a Brandon Lee movie called Rapid Fire same color and all ...fyi you would really like the bike if you like this suzuki
Thanks! I've looked into those bikes before, but somehow I always stumbled back to the GS.
Awesome. I'm out here in northern VA actually restoring a couple 86 300zx right now. You ever go to cars and coffee out in Ashburn?
I don't, Ashburn is about 2hrs from me. When is it held? Maybe I'll see if I can swing it.
Hey guys, great video, I really enjoyed watching y'all give some new life to that old lady. Do you happen to know if there are any notable differences mechanically between this GS750 and an '81 GS850G? There's a pretty decent chance that I'll be buying one tomorrow and I'm kind of looking for videos that can help me get that thing on the road again. Cheers!
Biggest difference is that the 850 is 100cc bigger, and 81 should have the 16 valve engine.
80 for hard core off-road, 100 for more on road with some off road.. if your always off road the 80 is the winner. If your mostly on road the 100 wins
200 series for the win
If I could snag one for stupid cheap, I would
That year looks good too. I have a 2017 and it looks like you have more of an approach angle. These guys are actually made in Japan and the high wood trim quality shows it.
The 2010-13 GX460s do have more approach angle. Allegedly as well the simpler front fascia makes it easier to install a winch bumper. I'll probably do an update video later but so far, everything has been great and no issues.
Sweet ride! I love my 2017
Thanks! I've never heard anyone say anything bad about their GX, only praise.
Just now coming into the final stages of doing my 92 fzr and I can tell you it’s a amazing bike to work on and the Haynes manual has been a saviour
Nice. This one has just been sitting as the Suzuki GS750 restoration has been the main focus. But with that last video out, maybe we'll think about doing something with this again.
Love my '96 LX450. Blueprinted the 4.5L and it is the smoothest engine ive ever had- and a luxury beast- huge axles, coils, the apex of Land Cruisers. Anything after the 80 is an SUV.
Dude, any car that you rev after a cold start, is bound to have problems
And here I thought it was just every N63 that had problems
Find your video in feed and immediately click in coz now days this gem in my country pretty affordable.. hope i get one day respect 🙏
Boys, another grand “revival”. Your message at the end is most appropriate. The next chapter is now, ongoing. Two thumbs up. Hi to Dad, Stew
It’s worth it she’s worth it
When I was your age all Bikes had kick start but not all had electric start . I think they should still be a kicker on every Bikes. I am glad you are enjoying yours .
Speculation or specification?!
Yes
Private Snowball! Do you like that name?
I never understand criticism of the infotainment system. Who cares. It has Bluetooth and usb and navigation. What else do you need?
Android auto or Apple car play is nice but there are plug and play kits to add it so it's not that big of a deal
Just car play or android auto.
@@Dan_And_Daves_GarageI was quoted 1k for that.
Did I see you measure out 6 ounces of fork oil by weight? 😮 It's supposed to be 6 fluid ounces (volume), NOT by weight. Huge difference 😮
Woops, I was doing this at like 2am and obviously wasn't thinking.

I liked your plan to keep the exterior as a postcard from the past but the changes to restore the mechanical to it's former glory as the rue portrait of the motorcycle. Great video. Thank you for the entertainment.
People pay extra for the barn find dust
you said it idles nicely.. what should it be idling at? i find my 97 to kind of go up and down when idle. Thanks
I found that mine likes to idle at around 1500 rpm, which should be around the upper end of the factory service manual specification.
That starter don’t sound too healthy engaging the flywheel 😬
Where can you access factory manuals?
There are links on the different BMW forums such as bimmerworld. Otherwise you can actually buy access to and download the different FSMs from BMW themselves through their TIS site.
adjust the valves, it will if will wake it up
I did adjust the valves, and it definitely helped it run a bit better. In my 2nd video on this bike I go through fine tuning the carbs which really woke it up
I think something you glossed over was daily driving. Do not daily your project. It is not worth the headache and struggle of not being able to get to work. Also, i dont think people buy cars because they want to improve their "problem solving skills" they have a passion for the look, sound, and feel of these machines, but may not know how to work on them.
Daily driving a project is a bad move. Can't touch on everything otherwise this would be a 2hr podcast. We may just be different because both David and I enjoy learning while solving tough challenges. Some people build PCs, some do woodworking, and others like us build cars and motorcycles. Each activity requires you to use your brain, and then at the end, you get to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Cultivating your problem solving skills is an added benefit to each of these, even if it is not the primary reason for the activity in the first place.
Is it legal to drive 2007 Yamaha Xt225 on freeway?
Yes. Should you? Probably not
I used to own an 86 back in the days. Still love the 86 body. Great DYI work!
Thanks a lot!
Hey you can't rope me into subscribing just because I watched it all! What da heck?! Well ok then. Some day if you ever get everything repainted, maybe the parts that are green now should be a green pearl of that same paste-ee pea shade. Green bastard lives on! We must honor it!
I've been slowly going back and forth if it should stay black or go for a darker british racing green. There's been progress but it's been slow as other things are taking precedent at the moment. If you are keen on more 300ZX content check out the video I did with our white NA 300ZX and fixed decades of deferred maintenance.
I owned 3 of them in the UK, one of them did at least 98,000 miles, loved them
It’s good for another 200k! I have a 94, 2WD though. I have restored/touched almost everything on it. Just finished up a full front end rebuild, new brakes, restored calipers, new KYB shocks as well! And new brake lines.
I actually sold the truck so the buyer just gets to drive it and not worry about anything
Im impressed with your mechanical skills and Im a bit more confident for my summer project. I friend of mine has offered free to me a 1978 GS750 thats been parked outside ( covered) for years here in Connecticut, and not running.We sure didnt have the colortune back in the 80s, but vacuum guages im well familiar with. Ive owned two GT550s Suzukis in the past, !981 GS450 EX, GS1100, and presently a low mileage vintage HD Sportster. Ive read reviews on the GS750 and they were great street cruisers.
The GS750 is definitely a fun street cruiser. Plenty of power to get yourself into trouble but still relatively tame compared to modern sport bikes. If that GS has been parked outside, I imagine everything is super corroded, but should still make a solid project and has potential as long as it's all there
I have a 97lx450, a 2000x470 and I prefer my 80 but both are sweet. Also love my fj cruiser.
Nice
I enjoyed watching your video, thank you.🙂
Thank you so much!
I’m glad you made more videos on this car
Let me know what else you would like to see!
