It’s easy enough to remove the ethanol from the petrol if you want to, there’s a guide on eBay but it’s basically done by adding water to the petrol in a clear bottle (use food colourant to identify easier) and then siphoning the remaining clear petrol off

I’ve just done these and I just removed the airbox bolts and clips on the front of the carbs, gave me about 20mm of play which was tight but enough to do the job without removing anything other than the rubbers. I also used the cheaper away ones and other than a slight face defect they were fine

With regard to the cylinders running hot, I’d check the carb runners as I’ve just done mine and it was getting quite hot and when I removed them two were cracked all the way though to the inside and one carb had been fitted incorrectly and was pushing the lip of the rubber over. If they suck air after the carb they will pull in unmetered oxygen and run lean, causing overheating.
Coolant would be worth replacing and seeing it it clears up!

I've fitted an 02 r6 tail to a fzr1000, chose it as the sub frame for that r6 was easy to cut and weld, I think later models are less forgiving in their shape/design!

Nice one mate I’ll take a look at those, I was looking at the older models tbf as I thought it would suit the bike better, thanks!

Just wondering how many peeps here are from County Durham, and if they organise any ride outs/meets?

So as a possible winter project I want to look at fitting an r6 seat and tail, to add to the street fighter style of my fzs. Anyone got any advice on the job as I can’t seem to find anything searching the forum (I am admittedly on my phone)
Any advice appreciated!
Thanks!

This is a nostalgic thread!! My first owned computer was the Atari 2600, and we used the old BBC computer arbor primary school (the one with the big black floppy discs), we used to program it to run Lego kits and traffic lights and such.
After that I got an Amiga 1200 probably one of my fave bits of kit ever!

I’ve just done mine and used the cheap set, just watch the sealing ring as the quality can be a bit sus but nothing a bit of sealant won’t help with. Mine were really bad and one had been squashed and pushed over by the carbs (must have been fitted wrong) so was sucking a lot of air-once I did them the bike ran much better.
Very tight and fiddly job though, I loosened the air box and slid it and the carbs back so you have about 15-20 mm of room 🤣👍

Hello all, just a quick hello from a new member!
Passed my full bike test last December and swappped my BMW for a 99 FZS600 which has been partly streetfightered.
Since then I’ve done oil and filter and put a new clutch kit, I’ll be looking to do the r6 tail and seat mod at some point, raise the tail a bit and colour match her properly (previous owner has put white tail and belly pan/air box covers on a red bike 😆), amongst the other maintenance she will likely need.
At the minute it’s got a bit of drive chain noise/notchiness which I’m thinking is chain and sprockets as they are quite old and look well worn.
So, plenty to do, and glad I’ve found this place to share and get advice!
