sparkplug cap resistor

Hi, after measuring the sparkplug cap after cleaning gives me a reading of 16.08. If i change the resistor to a 5 ohm and 5 ohm from the sparkplug will that be sufficient to get the 10 ohm that yamaha state you need. Did i read on here somewhere that 5 in the cap is enough and would be unlikely to c...

Re: replacement left and right cowling/ reserve switch

Re: replacement left and right cowling/ reserve switch

IF i was to fit the front fairing from a later model FZR 1000 what parts would i need from the donor bike to make it fit the 1990 model, say if i got the parts from a 1992 model, i know that the forks are USD on the later models, but would the mountings for the stay bars be the same as the '90 model...

I priced them new and they are €43.50 euros each plus vat plus shipping makes them 130 euros for the pair so i will try and find 2nd hand first but bei...

Re: 1990 Yamaha FZR 1000 EXUP

Thanks for the prompt replies lads, the bike is 1990 but according to the registration it was only registered in Ireland in 1996 so it came from somewhere else most likely the UK but i can't be certain of that so it's possible the the E in the manual may mean Europe, but i am only guessing on that. ...
