FZRSupport: the FZROnline Archive

so this is going to sound like a dumb question because it does to me but i am confused. i don't know why i haven't thought about this. but where do i check the tranny fluid on a 95 fzr 600? if there is any i haven't checked or put any in and i don't know why i didn't think about it before. please h...

Note that he said "runs like" not "is as powerful as." It's entirely possible he's telling the truth!

Yes, how dare I modify my run-of-the-mill mid-90s sportbike to better suit my motorcycling wants and needs...

This is really, really tempting... Trades?

well no qwestion maks you a looser not asking qwestions does yes any bike left in pieces is a lost treasure if you have mostly common hand tools [metric] you can probly do this ,pretty cheap but you first need a repair manule for that bike . it would be expensive to have a mechanic do it . youve al...

I'll be picking one of these up later this summer.

Damper: Depends on the type. IIRC the 400 and 600 forks are externally the same, so you shouldn't have too many issues.

Taillight: They're not the same, but you should be able to make something work there.

Looks like a stock header. If the carbs have stock jetting you should be pretty close to good to go when you replace the airbox.

I'm almost positive it's a straight bolt in? The cooling is slightly different so you might need different radiator hoses. The carbs are bigger, so you'll need to modify the airbox if you plan to use them. And you're probably better off just modifying the YZF wiring harness to work with the FZR fram...

Yes my frame is powdercoated.

Here's mine.

The FZR is a really nice platform to work from. I've got a Honda VFR swingarm, Ducati Monster seat and tail light, YZF600 tank, R6 forks, Renthal dirt bars, a led headlight, and a 660 motor in mine.

If you have friends helping you it'll be a piece of cake. I put the jugs back on my pistons when I was building my 660 by myself. As long as you follow the manual and do your valves you should be golden.

What you're thinking is correct. You've got a 4JH YZF600 that's been restamped as a 3HH FZR600. Somewhere along the line someone wanted to make the YZF disappear from the record and now that's what you're dealing with. There's really not a whole lot you can do now.

Would it be a bad idea to fix the new head(the one thats not on the bike) and replace the one on the bike with that? either way i have to take the head off the bikes engine, but since i have a whole motor already out i was thinking of just repairing that one and swapping heads. That's what I would ...

You could go cushless, but it's not recommended for the street. Without the rubber dampers there to absorb some of the shock, your transmission will quickly take a beating. I wouldn't be surprised if a good chunk of your problem is just your bike running poorly (no offense intended).
