1988 FZR 1000 Build

[kolederacer]

Well since i went to the wiesco pistons i am going to have to run their gasket head gasket. It looks like a nice mlm gasket though. We will see.
I bought one of gasket kits and yes most of the o-rings are wrong, at least the ones that are not shaped. But some of the case gaskets are discounted or at least hard to find now anyway.

Finally have the case back together and the pistons in.

[kolederacer]

Also bought another fzr for some reason..

[kolederacer]

Well have the head re-done and on.

[kolederacer]

Finished the sub frame.

By chance do you still have your old swingarm assembly and rim?

[kolederacer]

Yes i have two sets

[kolederacer]

Anyone have a exup header laying around?

[78cobra]

I may be interested in the complete rear swing arm, with brake arm and such. I just need to pick up my 88, and the guy is being such a pain about it.

And i also have an exup exhaust laying around. But I'm just kinda teasing, because it has to go back on my bike.

Okay I can send a picture. Has swing arm whole wheel. No rotor shock and linkage. No swing arm spindle though. My number is nine zero three - 7 six 7 - zero zero seven 6.

Well guys after 3 days of riding this awesome new engine. It honestly felt strong as my 998 the brand f***ing new yamaha timing chain broke. Not even at the master, just a random spot in the chain. Head is done and I think the case is done because when the chian let go it broke off the tensioner mounts. I am not usually the type to ask for favors but if anyone has a head or a casefor a great price please let me know. It may be a good time to go to a exup head, case and cyl

BUGGER. Sorry man. You must be gutted.
What sort of chain was it? Cos I thought and im fairly sure the timing chain (yammy) is a DID endless chain with no master.
But I may be wrong here.

[kolederacer]

It was the yamaha part number the chain is a did 219FS it did come with a master.
I called and let them have it. They offered another timing chain and a drive chain.... Better then nothing i suppose.

I finished the engine again today. Its not as pretty now.... But running good for the most part until it hits 9000rpm every time. It feels like it looses a cylinder.
I am not sure if it is spark or fuel related... If anyone has any idea please let me know. Right now the carbs are freshly cleaned running dynojet stage 3 with dj 140 main on the fourth clip down. Just running velocity stacks.

OK. Maybe they went to endless 89 onwards

That's what is on it now. Only problem is the damn oil banjo on the lower case was stripped so waiting on the 10x1.25 helicoils now...
