A note on the master brake cilinder: The installed master brake cilinder was a wrong one, for ONE disk 14mm. So we had to replace the master brake cilinder by the right one; a D on the bottom and 16mm.

We thought we spilled a lot of 2stroke oil in the engine during solving the 2stroke oil problems, as we see on the oil stains on the paper cloth it's is not much.

Due to all this 2stroke oil problems on the oil pump andoil lines we spilled a lot of 2stroke oil in the engine. So before the "FIRST RUN" we do a DRAIN to blead all 2stroke oil out of the engine.

The new oil lines in the so called "hangtest", just a 95% short and fast test if the oil lines are OK. Ready to be installed.

Fresh and new installed oil lines. The oil lines are filled wit GREEN 2stroke oil to give contrats when the engine is running and the oil pump does it's jopb properly.

Due to this leaking oil line we have to replace the oil lines AGAIN with another one. So again some extra work because we have to dis-assemble a lot of parts. NOTE, nowadays we see a lot of problems with the oil lines and oil pumps.

There is also some 2stroke oil leaking, is there something wrong with the oil line itself? A thorough inspection of the oil lines gives us the problem, the oil line which isn't filled with red oil is leaking at the base of the oil pump.

UPDATE 12-08-2024: We still have some issues with the 2stroke oil distribution. We did a lot of work on the oil lines and the oil pump. AGAIN one of the oil lines give a problem, the oil line bleeds the oil in the engine and fill up with air. What's wrong?

Yes, after we replaced the oil pump too we solved the problem of running red 2stroke oil into the carters of the engine. This is OK now.

Do you remember this? Red 2stroke oil was running into the oil lines via the oil pump, so into the carters of the engine. That's not what we want. So we replaced the oil pump by another refurbished one.

On the left and below: The orange wire (i think from the factory) had to connections places, although these connections were soldered there was not any isolation around theses connection.

I had good eyes for the problems, when i removed all the bad and loose tape around the wiring loom Nr2 i found more problems. See the twisted connection in the GROUND wire, NOPE that won't work for a longer time.

We needed to re-route wiring loom Nr2, because the airbox would cut off the wires in the wiring loom. I have seen already someone had cut off and did bad repaires on a lot of wires on this GT750. As I removed the wiring loom Nr2 i saw some points on the loom where i thought, there can be a problem.

Overview of the master brake cylinder, which is the wrong one for the 2 disk brakes of the GT750. This is a 14mm master brake cylinder and will not produce enough brake fluid so read: pressure for both disk brakes. Using this master brake cylinder again on this GT750 can be very DANGEROUS! We will see if we can replace the master brake cylinder.

Did we need to refurbish the front brake calipers? Sure we do, the pistons inside were severe corroded and needs to be replaced. The brake piston is far out, so the brake pads are very worn.

By the way, look and the brake master cylinder, the oil cup is dark colored, so there was very old brake fluid in it. The front brake was very bad.

Bad brakes? Sure, you can pull the brake lever to the grip. Take a look at the brake fluid cup, the brake fluid is to dark for recent brake fluid. So we need to refurbush/renew the whole brake system.

Red oil is running on to the cylinders, that is really wrong. It is possible that the oil runs into the carters of the engine. Take a look at the oil pump lever, this is a lever for a cable movement, as this is a GT750-A it has a rod! BUT: How do you adjust the rod to the markings, as you have tio adjust the J-K models on a much different way

UPDATE 24-08-2024: ALWAYS pay attention to everything on what you are working on. We noticed something strange on the oil lines! For the oil pump test we fill up the oil lines with another colored oil of what is in the oil tank. The different colored oil SHOULD NOT run away AFTER the oil pump. So here is something wrong.

On this bike we have to do our job always TWICE, we discover always another problem (again), and we have to correct the found problem. On this photo we wondered why we can't install the brake pedal cap with the pin. The swinging arm shaft was installed from the wrong side. So we needed to correct this before we could install the brake pedal and it's parts.

How do the do it? The threading is M8, if this threading is going bad, use a helicoil. Nope some persons drill the holes so big that we needed to make a bushing with M12 to repare this large hole.
Something went wrong with boring the barrel which came on the engine. It looks like the cilinder walls are hardened due to the narrow bore. This means we needed another barrel for the rebore. So polishing and reparing this (nice) barrel. This barrel is polished already.

Rebuilding the waterpomp. As nowadays the mechanical seal breaks down we replace this part by a new one. Also we install a new seal and a new bearing.

Always inspect the gears on the secundairy shaft. 3rd gear is the most common gear with bad "dogs". Doesn't look good on the gear shaft.

Checking the RIGHT ROD with a square, it indeed looks if the rod is bend. The gap below is smaller than the gap on to of the rod. So the rod is bend!

Some people have eyes for discovering problems, it looks if this RIGHT ROD is bend too. So we need further inspections.

This is wrong on the cranckshaft; BAD REBUILD, the bearing right near the gear should be a sloted and grooved bearing.

Take a look at the short barrel footer stud, totaly damaged. How? When you screw on a M10 standard nut on a M10 metric fine thread you will damage the thread of the stud. This means that the mechanic who worked before on this engine didn't know anything about the difference between threading.

Again not our job, when you remove the barrel studs (why?) you have to install the studs on the right place again. The stud with the barrel location thickening should be in the front stud row outer right.

When a check-valve is defect, a filled oil line will bleed the oil in the hangtest immediately. The not oil filled oil line is clear visable.

Inspecting and testing the oil lines by the hangtest, one check-valve of the center cilinder is defect, as you can see on an empty oil line. This is the main reason of the hydraulic lock on the center cilinder.

I think this is a lot of "2stroke" oil drained from the center cilinder. i have collected this oil into an empty oil cannister: RESULT 0,5liter oil. "2stroke"oil? It's certainly NOT 2stroke oil, but normal engine oil, the oil is to thick to be 2stroke oil.

Draining the engine carters by removing the SRIS valves, the center cilinder was filled with almost 0,45liter "2stroke" oil. It took 1/4 of an hour to stop running or dripping.
