94 FZR600 6th gear 55mph 5000rpm

Post by hinesj7 »

New to the site and motorcycles. I purchased a 94 FZR600 and so far I have replaced the stator and VR to get the bike running. The bike starts with no problems idles at 1100 to 1200 rpm while warming up (no choke has to be used to start) but as I ride and the bike warms up when I come to a stop or start it up after a stop it idles at 3000 to 4000rpm. The second problem is that in 6th gear going 55mph the bike is revving at 5000rpm. Please help! Thanks.

First off, you have an air leak to get you revving that high, and second you're over-jetted to compensate. Thank the previous owner for that.

I'm not sure what the question is on the revs in 6th gear - this is a manual transmission; the revs are what the revs are. If you think they're too low, downshift. If you think they're too high, inspect your sprockets to see what your gearing actually is.

Hi,
It helps if we know what model bike you have,i.e where in the world you are as bikes vary according to the Market place.
