My bike still runs but has a knocking sound. Mechanic said it's the rod knocking. Min. Work would be $2500 to $3000 "Do it Right" would be $3500 to $4000 I understand if you pay someone labor to crack the case it would be best to replace everything, however; Can I not just replace the ROD and piston...

Here it is riding season and I haven't done anything with this. I guess I need to scrap this ol bike....? Totally sad..... You guys have no idea how clean this bike is. Yoshimura full exhaust, brand new tires with 500 miles on them tops! Everywhere I go I get compliments and people that don't know a...

No, not yet. Guess I may as well as I will be removing the valve covers anyways. Thing is, the heads are going to have to come off anyways because something inside the engine somewhere is broken. I'm hoping it turns out to be an issue where all I have to do is get the heads reworked. Anyone care to ...

I was out riding this weekend and an engine knocking appeared out of no where. Sounds like its in the head with a consistant knocking but when you give it gas it sounds like several moving parts clanking around in there. Someone told me to take the valve covers off and check clearances. If I just go...

NO follow up to this post?? It's common forum courtesy to post a followup/resolution to an issue. Forums are useless if they are only filled with people asking questions but no one posting solutions. I have a very similiar problem with my bike right now and it would sure be helpfull if you posted th...

It appears I may need to clean/re-sync carbs and get the valves adjusted.

Are you turning the choke on and then spraying starting fluid?

Well, this shop may not be the best. They said the valves are "a little chattery" but nothing out of the ordinary. I'm guessing they didn't check the valves with a check tool. I'll probably pull it out of that shop and look for another one for a second opinion. The bike has brand new spark plugs and...

Well, the temperature hasn't gone above 65. At what temperature should I expect this thing to crank? 75, 80? The shop sais if they take the carbs apart they will need rebuilt minimum and possibly replaced. Yes the bike has 35k miles but it has been pampered and it is super clean. I don't want to ok ...

1993 FZR 1000 Genesis 35,000 miles and in otherwise mint condition. My Bike takes 20 minutes to crank when it's cold. I have to hold the throttle wide open to get it to crank. Bike shop sais the carbs have no back pressure and needs rebuilt or replaced. Does this sound right? I can't find a rebuild ...

Greetings, I just picked up a 1993 FZR 1000 in near mint condition from the second owner. The bike has 34,000 miles on it but it seems real tight and is very clean. I put 800+ miles on her this past weekend and at about the 650th mile the oil light came on and went off a few times. It did this patte...

Did you ever figure out this issue? The polite thing to do would be to post the final resove to this issue so other (like me) could learn something if we have the same issue. I can tell you that my 1993 FZR 1000 did the same thing this last weekend. I was out of town and the temperature dropped from...
