FZRSupport: the FZROnline Archive

Well I hate it when i'm researching something online and people say "i'm gonna take it to the mechanic" then the thread dies. I don't want to do that here. I took the bike to my mechanic, and all he did was retorque the steering head bearing to get that 'chatter' away. There were some other things h...

The heavy stock bar ends are more for damping out mid rpm vibration. They are not hard to source, originals are usually cheap and it might be an economical eliminator. They wont stop "chatter" from the forks/wheel/tyre combination. Lead ? bar snakes and damper beads are available but are designed m...

so its been a bit. I cut out the old steering bearings and replaced them, this was the thing i for sure thought it was. Nope. Replaced front rotors, that did make a difference! But problem not totally gone. I read around here that if the bar ends are changed then some headshake like issues can happe...

Hey Don, Thats definitely what it feels like, but if that was the case it would stand to reason that I could replicate the feeling by having the bike stopped and pumping the forks or trying to get the stem to move around. Can't replicate it anywhere but on the road. Also when i Installed the new ste...

Hey Don, Thanks for the reply. Put the bike on a rear stand and did what you said. Seemed to make it a bit better, but it really seems like the stem is knocking around. Barings are new, but i did have them pretty tight for a few weeks, i doubt thats long enough to ruin them... Still i might need rot...

94 fzr600. I've had this bike for about 5 months, always had this problem, even after the stuff i mention below. On light to medium braking i feel some vibration through the handlebars. I can also look down to the forks and watch them shimmy around at the wheel during braking. Things i've done so fa...

sent some pm's

Cant find this in any of the parts diagrams i've been combing over.

This bracket is what the front two screws on the tank cover mount to. Could have been broken in half, not sure. Anyone got a part number?

Hey Tom, I think you just helped me out. I definitely have to do the bluish paint myself on the fairing, thats not a big deal...i'll find that color somehow. The orangish stripes i might just have to mask and paint myself, they dont seem too difficult. However the FZR logo is the hardest part to rec...

hey all http://www.fzrbrandon.com/fzrModels/images/94_600_White.jpg Recently picked up a 94 fzr with this coloring, although there are a few things missing and i'm going for a resto, I need to find the graphics for this coloring. Checking out cmsnl for a 94 I come across this: http://www.cmsnl.com/y...

So i took the new wave spring out and tried again. Clutch works properly now.

Will my bike explode without the spring?

unsure if the bike ran proper prior to me getting into it. parts bike and all, no idea of the history of the engine.

i'll replace the spring, but do you think thats the cause?

changed oil to 10w40 didn't make that much of a difference, but i'll keep the 10w40 thanks for the suggestions. went through the clutch again, the only off thing was the spring that sits after the 4th plate was in the wrong position, it was after the 3rd. Changed that and i did see a bit better move...

Thanks for the replys! I think the gear selector is a good place to look given thats the new part, but you think thats the culprit here? Regardless if it isn't aligned properly, if the clutch was working properly I'd still be able to idle the bike while in gear? As far as oil weight, I live in north...

I'll bust it apart and give it another look then i guess...

as far as oil, its yamaha brand 20/40
