videos of restoring/reassembling 93 fzr600r???

Post by dasfzero »

Are there any good videos out there of reassembling/restoring a 93 fzr600r? I just bought one and want to do much of the work myself. I really want to give it a completely new paint job, literally paint/repaint everything that can/should be. I dont really know anything about this bike besides the research ive been doing the last few days.

This will be my winter project and id like to have it looking like it just came off the the factory assembly line.

thanks guys! Im going to have lots of questions.

i bought the clymer manual yesterday and book maked the wiki for reference, but i would really like to watch some videos of work being done on the bike. I am a very visual learner and seeing someone do something sticks in my brain much better.

i dont recall ever seeing a video of people tearing down or rebuilding and FZR. lots of pictures though. once you delve into it, you will find that it is fairly basic, and easy to do. you may want to video yourself taking it apart, then you can see how it all goes back together.
I did that.

I have a video on youtube of rebuilding the rear brake caliper. Also my build thread is pretty damn pic intensive. Those should at least help.

My advice: Get a Haynes manual, and take pictures as you pull it apart.

Also, I see you are from Milford. I'm just down the road in Cincinnati. So shoot me a message if you get stuck, I might be able to come out and help.
