looking for parts
Hi guys, I'm new to this forum. I have just bought a 1989 fzr 600 that needs a fair bit of work. I was looking to see if there was a thread about this already but couldn't find anything.. The bike is missing the diaphragm cover and the spring from one of the carbs. Is there any other bike that u could get these parts off? I found a full set of fazer 600 2000 model for 50 euro which seems to be a cheap fix if it works. Also it's missing the cap from the bottle on the back right of the bike as well as the ignition barrel needing to be replaced (I didn't steal it haha) but because parts are kinda hard to get I'm looking for parts off more common bikes that should fit. Thanks for the help.

Re: looking for parts
The cap for the rad overflow tank is the same as loads of Yamahas from that era.
I used a red plastic top from a Motul oil bottle when I needed one.Cut out the internal threads with a craft knife and
drill a small hole in the top for venting.
Any suitable cap will do until a replacement can be sourced; it is not a critical part.

The diaphragm cover often is cracked at the mounting hole on a used part; the cover and spring are the same unit as a FZR400 3EN1/3EN2/3TJ but the 600 is not a rare bike in the UK anyhow and parts are easy sourced.
In fact the 3HE is so common and parts so easily and cheaply sourced it is used as a parts donor for other models.
No doubt the small O ring from the vent hole will also be missing !
The spring is still available on order from any Yamaha dealer;

But seeing as the cap cannot be purchased as a separate unit, a used set of carbs is the only financially viable option.

Take no notice of the flatslide description in that ad; he is referring to the plastic fins.
They do come up cheaper; you just have to wait.
A spare set of carbs at £50 pay for themselves in jets and other little parts and are highly recommended on a 25 year old bike (especially the FZRs)
You will experience a world of pain trying to set up Fazer 600 carbs on a 3HE even if you could get them to fit.
These downdraught carbs NEED the airbox to fit correctly.
