I must now part out my 1997 FZR600, as I cannot give it more time or money. I will either sell the motor complete or strip it down and sell the parts. Which will gather more interest? It has an improperly installed piston ring in one cylinder and a small head gasket leak. The head has new intake val...

My 91 just had a new set of intake valves installed on new seats, and I have just re-adjusted the valves and bench synched the carbs. the engine has a jet kit installed with (I am told by the company) appropriate jet sizes for my 4800 ft elevation and Micron 4-1 exhaust. I know that I now need to dy...

Thank you! Some folks here read the posts before replying! Good job, old chap!

Question is, again: Where, on the engine, is there bare aluminum, and where is there the silver paint?

In Idaho, and without a title, but with a paper trail of bill of sales, I was able to get a "conditional title" that would suffice for the time, but which would be subject to any claims by previous owners claiming theft.

My bike came with several layers of flaking black over orange over primer paint on the frame, and I am paitiently scraping/stripping it to get back to factory original silver. I know the engine was at least partially the same silver and maybe some plain aluminum. On the engine, just where is the pai...

Let's open it up for discussion. I've thought it thro, but want to hear from you all. What is an acceptable procedure on a bike?

Well, I lucked out in one sense. I After I realized the seats weren't square and couldn't be lapped into shape for a new set of valves, I went to a couple of professionals. The dealer wanted $250 to cut eight seats and reassemble; a machinist shop wanted to use only a stone, then I found Franz Auto ...

After an unsuccessful carb. sync. on my '90 FZR engine, I realized that my intake valves are indeed ready to be replaced, (as I was told when I had new seals installed) so I ordered eight new ones. I then called the machinist to have new valve seats cut on the head. After explaining to him why I wan...
