Short would not mean that you need a spacer plate, short would be a concern about pistons hitting crank. Thus possibly needing custom pistons.

YZF rods are 3mm longer than 3HEs or FZS so you need the spacerplate and adjustable camshaft gears
i think the FZS 600 was only avaible in europe cause i didnt found the microfiches on the US Yamaha website

Why would the YZF rods be longer even though the crank throw of the FZR is longer. Strange. They must have offset the piston wrist slots on the pistons differently then.

thats because the lift of the crankshaft in the YZF motors is lower than FZR but the crankshaft is in the same position and the cylinders have the same (outside) dimensions as the 3HEs, so if you had rods in there with the lengh (or shortness) of FZR rods you would have a gap of 3mm between highest point of piston and cylinderhead ;)

will take some weeks till i can do something on the bike again because the garage is at my parents home and im 500km's away for studying :(

Nice build it's good to see a few of the motors getting built. What jetting are you currently running?

I read that the carbs are smaller in diameter on the fzs, that's why they produce 5hp less than the yzf600. Is there any internal difference between the yzf600 and the fzs, as i believe that the fzs also has a slightly lower compression ratio? is the head volume the same cc's?

There is also one disadvantage to shorter rods, in that longer rods hold the piston closer to tdc for longer.

weighs 166kg wet (25kg lighter than my stock fzr600).

i run the YZF carbs with original jetting at the moment

i dont know the things you asked about the FZS, the FZS motor i got had no head on it, the only things i can tell is that the crankcase is different, the cylinders are about 2cm shorter, rods are shorter, the rest is pretty much the same or just "improved"

im so confused.
how do you not need a spacerplate?
where are you getting the extra displacement from?
i dont get how just using the fzs rods gives you the ability to not need a spacer plate....
seems like you just built a custom 600cc motor to me.

or do you not need a spacer plate when using the yzf crank?
poopy.

Shred,

The YZF rods are longer than the FZR ones. Combine that with the longer stroke of the FZR crank and the piston will hit the valves which is why you need the spacer. Additionally, you can't use the FZR rods as the top bore of the rod where the wrist pin goes is the wrong size and will not accept the YZF piston correctly.

The FZS rods are the same length as the FZR ones which means you don't need the spacer. Plus the top bore for the wrist pin is the correct size to take the YZF pistons.
Yes, that is a Single Sided Swingarm FZR600 that I built.

Something is lurking, waiting, wanting to be built......It calls to me from the darkness....

I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel....Then I realize that it is the train coming to run my ass over....

That model bike is only available in Europe. It is also a specific year range that uses those rods. Finding them is a little difficult. There is a lot of info on the 660 engine. Do a search here or on the other site.

My 1996 is a 660. I race it and do track days. I have much experience building FZRs and YZFs. Your build poses a few questions. What do you use for a clutch? How did you resolve the difference in piston pin diameter? What ECM did you use? Mine has a few other goodies inside and makes big HP on my dyno. Have you dynoed yours?
