Well pay day was yesterday so the fzr got treated once again, i ordered everything i need to get the bike back on the road, including tax, 6 months for under 30 quid, now thats a result, apart from i taxed a car at work for a year and that only cost them 30 quid!!! Anyways today I got yet another solid day on the bike and got everything virtually sorted, only things remaining are, bleed the brakes, fit the silencer, fit the chain, plug in the voltage regulator and finally fit the bodywork, so nice and easy :thumbsu:
Once again i forgot to take photos but to be honest all it would of been was me bolting things up so nothing exciting. I got the wheels fitted, but ran into a bit of snag with the rear wheel. the way the guy had bent the box section for the brace, the way it sat meant if rubbed up against the sprocket carrier bolts, however this was no biggy and a quick grinding session saw the bolts shaved down enough to clear the brace. This sent ideas flying around my head about the chain rubbing, but i couldn't quite picture it right in my head. Now both the wheels are mounted i set out mounting the exhaust headers, got these mounted up no problem. This got me going and wanting to try and start her, at first she didn't look promising, lots of suction, coughing and spluttering, but ulitmately no firing, i thought it wasn't gonna go well. I decided to cover the carb inlets with my hand moving from one to the other whilst cranking the engine and its was wanting to start. A little more cranking and the bike decided it wanted to piss its self, all of a sudden there was about 500 ml of petrol come out the exhaust and then swiftly followed by her firing up. My god it felt good, few teething problems with the fueling, i.e. It holds the revs for too long before dropping back down to idle and the carbs need balancing but other than that its all looking promising

Heres a picture of how shes sitting right now :thumbsu: :thumbsu: :thumbsu:
