Wow, a 1k in the Japanese 'domestic market' would be fairly rare and pretty much be property of a very rich man RR, not wrong there the 1K+ cc driving permit / license for a motorcycle is the "Holy Grail" in japan for a biker only a certain amount per year are allowed to pass the test if urban myth...

Hi,
if you are still away from home contact Y-Geo. please as he is worried about your silence.

Thanx George.....now it all makes sense! :thumbsup: Sounds like a good treatment as rusty headers just look plain awful :grinnod: GreyImport, Yeh Y-G does come across as eccentric but he is that way because he found it works for him, I will have been married to him for 30 years next July and he sti...

Ugh. The more I dig into this thing, the more shocked I am that the previous owner didn't beef it and die.{SNIP} Only one out of four piston moved at all on the left caliper. None on the right moved at all. I gave it a few more pulls on the lever and only that one piston moved. Now, I'm no mechanic...

Hi,
Hmm that model is mostly "grey" import so finding spares is very patchy try the boys @ stinkwheels

Does anyone know if the wheel bearings and seals on an FZR400 (or any other model) are the same for a 3LN 250? ....... Looking for something like this.... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/All-Balls-Front-Wheel-Bearing-and-Seal-Kit-Yamaha-FJ-FZ-FZR-FZX-Others-Listed-/320990949812?pt=AU_Motorcycle_Parts_Ac...

Hi, That is easy read Y-Geo's web page on just doing that with all his tuition on making your own tools to do the job in a professional manner (mind you I am biased he is my old man loL) http://www.saltmine.org.uk/fzr/fork.html You might want to invest a bit of money on the PD valves as he did, as t...

Hi,

Bill, Y-G has seen this photo and he thinks he has one similar in amongst all the other "bike treasures" he has When we get back later I will take alook with him and see. No promises that we have but no harm in looking. as to Y-G talent spotting he used to be real busy at that :whistle when he was n...

Nate,
Y-Geo. was absolutely hopping up and down mad as heck when he saw this bike, said you were a sadist for publishing such bike porn whilst knowing full well he is not allowed to ride.
Nice work but consider yourself told off LoL

Hi, welcome to the forum. If it is the clutch rod oil seal the area behind the front sprocket cover will show signs of an oil leek (drip variety (not the usual chain lube / road grime sticky mess. Seal replacement is trivial BUT if the clutch rod or bore holoe where it sits is worn it may need a new...

Darrin, I have to sympathise with my "fellow colonials" that we both speak english but not the Queens version (or at least Y-Geo's version ) I thought it meant "wedding tackle" or "mutts nutts$ etc but apparently the translation is general " associated pieces " with what ever the subject matter is !...

thanks george... and to all the people with the same problem http://fzronline.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=206 WHY THE HECK IS THAT NOT in the Wiki? I tell you Y-Geo goes into Hospital and stuff like this gets left out DOH Just Kidding but is should go in the WIKI, Y-Geo just came back to his bed ...

Hi, that was made in Taiwan so not likely to be Yamaha ! That said the one picture you do not show is the terminal block. Does your plug look to fit ? Y-Geo says it looks like the type of VR from an R* series yamaha, with its heavy cast fins. Depending on cost we say use it if it was cheap enough if...

G, take alook at Y-Geo fork page at:= http://www.saltmine.org.uk/fzr/fork.html that will show you how to make fork tools and how the internals are put together. Sorry to hear you learned the hard way that non OEM fork seals are mostly rubbish. As for being a"girly" mechanic, it is nice to have compa...
