Temperature Gauge
When I go riding, the temperature gauge usually reads about half way. Once it hits half way, it rockets up to the redzone. After I turn off the bike, let the needle fall, and turn it back on, without riding, the needle sits at the middle. Is this a problem with the spring or the thermostat? Any spri...

Re: my 1990 fzr 600
Great job! I love it. Why is the poor thing in the snow! Mine looks like that, except with pollen on it right now... I hate spring for that reason

Re: Black smoke
I installed NGK cr9's. the bike ran the next day perfectly. I have no tools to check the psi, but I know the previous owner was not big on maintenance.. It probably needs a valve job. do you all know a good place to buy somewhat cheap carb sync tools? my fzr manual is still on the way.. so far I hav...

Re: Airbox is back on, with a cross threaded spark plug
Alrighty! does anyone know the measurement of the tap needed? I have an 89 fizzer. I'm no machinist, but the machine shop department at work should probably have something I can use.

Airbox is back on, with a cross threaded spark plug
Alright, so I discovered the cross threaded spark plug when I changed the plugs out when I got the bike, Lord knows how a person could do this.. Anywho, without the airbox, the bike cranked right up, first try, no put puts, all go. I replaced the spark plug, but noticed that it sits 1/4 of an inch t...

Putting the airbox back on..
Is there an easy way to do this? or a trick? I have been trying to put this SOB back on, and every time I get one side fitted on, the other side pops off.. the clamps are all loose. I don't believe I have ever lost my lid over something so seemingly simple..

Re: Not getting fuel
I recently purchased the motorcycle, so I don't know when the last valve job was done. The motorcycle is at 19,xxx. I took out the spark plugs, and they were carbon fouled, so it's definitely running rich. Im going to save up for a couple weeks, I guess, and have the motorcycle properly tuned. As mu...

Re: Not getting fuel
Fuel lines are not compromised, all the way from the petcock thru the fuel pump. Sprayed engine starter over the carbs and some carb cleaner. Engine turned over with a hard time and some backfires, took about 10minutes to run smoothly after that. I'm still not sure whats going on. I recently just st...
