Re: FZR250/FZR400 engine

I think you might be right about it being an 86. More proof i was ripped off when I bought it i guess. I have a suspicion its been made from a million difference bikes. So you think I might be able to get an 89 3ln1 engine into it ? Do you know if its a relatively simple swap ? IE not much that need...

Re: Major issues with my FZR250 !

Its been doing that since I started working on it. I noticed the bubbling coolant a couple of weeks ago, but really didn't want to have to pull the engine apart so i searched out other problems and fixed them (selective ignorance). One of the issues this thing has had since we bought it, which is wh...

Re: Major issues with my FZR250 !

well.....it DID get me rolling..........I got the thing back inside and changed the coolant after it appeared to be running well. However, adding coolant made it difficult to start. So i started investigating. I ended up finding where the coolant was slowly going......into cylinders 3 and 4. This be...

Re: Major issues with my FZR250 !

Hi, The bike did sit in the garage for a while while I worked on the other things, I've sprayed a fair bit of carby cleaner down the throat but that doesn't seem to of helped, should it have or do I need a more thorough cleaning ? (how do i do that ? ) I just changed the plugs and gapped them, hasn'...

Problem is, i live in Australia and here it was only ever an import ( perhaps it was like that in many places ? ). Anyway, its incredibly hard to get parts for, sometimes even the reall...
