We're in love with this 90's gsxr 750, such clean lines and we're here for it! This beauty got a carb cleaning, new yss rear shock to replace the blown oem, chain & sprockets, front & rear brakes serviced, new stator cover gasket & soon a fresh rear tire. Super fun to ride, sounds awesome and just about ready for a season of fun!

Throwback to this beautiful 2000 Kawasaki zx9. These 90's and early 00's sportbikes are getting harder and harder to find in this condition and not clapped out, minus the aftermarket muffler this one was stock, even having the oem turn signals.

Sometimes its the simplest things.
Our customer did a top end rebuild on his 04' yz125 and had zero luck getting it to start post rebuild, after some diag it was discovered the throttle cable was frayed & seizing, holding the throttle open letting to much air in to start. A small bump of starter fluid later and the YZ quickly let us know the throttle was stuck open. Its always good to know where the stop button is cause once a 2 stroke starts running on things get spicey very quickly, and if all else fails be prepared to pull the plug cap.

Fresh YSS shocks going on this creampuff 92' gsxr-750. We're seeing a lot of blown shocks on these 90's gsxr's and while some are rebuildable this particular model's was not, so next best option was upgrading to a new YSS unit.

How it started VS. How its going..
So excited to be building such an awesome CB, no stone's going unturned on this one; Fully adjustable suspension front(08 cbr600rr fork) & rear(yss shocks set up to rider spec & bike model/weight) cognito moto 17" front wheel & 17x4" spoke rear.
- In-house built wiring harness, battery/electronics trays/ect.
- Custom swingarm/frame bracing to help the frame handle upgraded suspension
- Rebuilt motor, digital ignition, carbs tuned and aftermarket exhaust
- motoforza tail section
- Fresh paint & powder coat
+ many other bits & bobs.
All said and done this bike will be quick(as much as a 360 can be), light and an absolute twisty road carver.

Happy ending on this 09' gsxr1000 fork service and electrical diag. This ones headlight randomly stopped working and after some testing the culprit ended up being the connector between the wiring harness and right hand control. These gsxr's are an absolute joy to ride, and definitely brings the grunt and fun with the 1000cc power plant.

Electrical diagnosis is one of our specialties, no start, no lights or intermittent issues; we handle it all.

"Only been leaking a couple months"
If your forks look like this it's probably time for a fresh set of seals. When fork oil leaks it typically runs down onto the brake calipers/rotors contaminating the brake pads & reducing braking power significantly.
