Kawasaki GPz750 R1 (z750GP) Restoration






26/3/17
Install stock airbox and carbs with stock jetting


The rubber boots were hard so to rejuvenate I soaked them in 70% Xylene + 30% Methyl Salcylate for 6-8 hours. The boots swell but returned to original size.



Xylene was bought at Bunnings ($18) and Methyl Salcylate at Chemist Warehouse ($6).

Earlier I tried by just boiling them using Methyl Salicylate + water. But it did not work as the rubber would harden again when cold.

Difficult starting condition + stuffed battery + heavy rain = bike tow :(
