Hi - anybody know what the pain codes are on an 1989 1000. Need colour codes for the red (as on the gas tank) and the white (front fender). any halp you can give would be appreciated.

Hi does anyone know whether there should be a bracket or rubber bushing where the main fairing brace (lower mount) bolts on the the steering head (below the yoke). There are 2 x threaded holes on the frame but the gap is to large when the mount is offered up. if anyone has any sugegstions (or even b...

the starter clutch can be removed / inspected with the engine in the frame. Its under the forwardmost of the two right hand covers (nearest to the rad). The manual explains the procedure that is relatively simple. you have PM

was gunna say - it hard to see from your pictures but the throttle cables dont look right - there is a metal sleeved end on the end of the pull cable (the one on top). this slots into the metal piece on the carb return mechanism (the 2 nuts go on the end to lock the cable in place) - I have got mine...

Hi - I had similar problems with bound on clutch plates - this resulted from the bike being stored for 5 years. I warmed some oil in a pan and poured it through the oil filler using a turkey baster (over the clutch plates) - having left it over night I put the bike in gear and rocked it back and fou...

Hi - thanks for all the feedback. I am located just outside of London in the UK. I'm after a bit more pull of the line. Our roads are so busy top speed is not really a consideration. The chain looks stock and almost new - no real signs of wear. It has been in storage for 5 years and needs a good cle...

I hear ya thanks - sound like I will need a longer chain but will take your advice and go for a complete kit - cheers

Hey

anyone know whether the standard chain will be sufficient long to install + 2 teeth on the rear sprocket ? (47 to 49) ?
1989 FZR1000 - cheers

result - soaked the clutch plates that were stuck together - all working weel .The problem with the gearchange was the selector lever - the spigot marks were not lined up - rotated it through 90 degrees and hey presto !! niceeeee. the kinda fix me likes

sussed it - it's in the generator apaprently (not external). Managed to confirm this with the dealer. It appears to differ depending on what wire diagram you look at !
cheers

thanks for that - the plot thickens - there is definately no VR, mounting plate or wires in this areas in the 1K. the only place it could possibly go is on the left side toward the battery box (on the subframe above the rider peg). There is a connector plug here with 2 wires here (brown and blue) th...

Hi - I have a FZR1000 (89) model, But I cant find the voltage regulator. ! The manual says its under the left side tail section but I cant find anything that resembles it - wierd anybody got a picture of where it should it ? its a non running bike and it may well be that it has been removed but ther...

Oh man - If the box is spannerd I might just be inclined to drop another engine in. I would be comfortable enough with that but I dont fancy stripping the motor - I will let you know how it goes. cheers

Nice - thanks for all the help. Appreciate it.

thanks for this - I will take a clser look today. The normal neutral is not there either which is odd. You can sometimes find it but then you can heear something click into place in the box then its back in gear ! could this be anything to do with the clutch housing, spacers incorrect fixtures (all ...
