FZR 400 Geometry or some measurements please

I've got an FZR 400 thats getting a Fox shock. I need to make a custom clevis. I also need to know the height of the front end. I have a '99 R1 front end on the bike. So I have no clue where to star with setup. I know the FZR forks are much longer. But the clipons go on top of the triples on the FZR...

Re: Lower mount needed for a Fox Shock

I was hoping it was universal in the Fox family.

Darn!

It's a Fox TCX Racing shock.

Re: fork question 89 fzr 400/yzf600 motor

Are the forks actually bottomed? Meaning are they at the limit of travel? Or is the fan just hitting before the forks get all the way through their stroke? If you're hitting the fan, try to move the fan? Find a lower profile fan? If you put a heavier motor in the bike, you may need heavier springs. ...

Re: Valve rattle????? NOOOOOOO!!!!!

Make sure you haven't broken some exhaust springs or lost bolts. When those are missing, they can make rattling sounds too.

Re: front end shake between 55-45??

Your chain is not likely causing head shake at speed. Have you lowered the front of the bike or raised the rear? That can induce head shake. check or replace the wheel bearings, steering stem bearings and swingarm bearings. I'm guessing with the age of these bikes, It's a set of the bearings somewhe...

Tachometer lead

I have 3 or 4 tachometers. I don't know which is for the 400 or 600. But the wiring harness on the 400 I have seems to have a four wire connector. All the tachs I have seem to have 6 wire plugs. Can anyone help.

Front end swap

I'm told the first gen R6 front end is a direct swap in.
Does anyone know if the 1999 YZF front end is a simple bolt in as well?

I'm not sure why I'm getting the bike if I'm changing everything. LOL

Rear wheel conversion

I'm needing a 17" wheel on a track FZR400. Whats the easiest conversion to do? I've heard the Suzuki Bandit wheel is the easiest. Anyone have any details? What year wheels work?

Re: Building hybrid. Whats should i sell, what should i save.

The problem is I'd need to find a motor, wiring harness, VR, CDI etc to make a full street bike. Not really interested in that. I'd like to have a super moto for the street. As for whether I'll like it. I've been doing a wee bit of racing and a LOT of track days for 3 years. I'm an instructor on the...

Building hybrid. Whats should i sell, what should i save.

I have an FZR 600. Complete. I'm getting a FZR400. I want to put the 600 engine in the 400 for track use. What parts are different on the 600 that I can sell? Whats the same and I should save for spares? Anyone need parts I'm not going to need?
