Posted by: kevmac - 09-03-21, 09:22 AM - Forum: For Sale & Wanted - No Replies

For sale is my MRA Vario touring screen with mounted spoiler in very good condition.
Picture seems to show scratches on lower half bit must be fluff or dust picked up by the sun as there's nothing apparent when I look at it now.

  FOR SALE: 2004 (54), Fazer 1000, SOLD
Posted by: BMCfaz - 08-03-21, 12:58 PM - Forum: For Sale & Wanted - Replies (4)

My much-loved US-spec Fazer 1000 is for sale. I've only done about 1500 miles in the last 2 years, so the bike's not getting used and I'm hoping somebody will get as much enjoyment out of it as I have in the last 10 years of ownership.

2004, 52k, colour is DPBMC, Northampton/Wellingborough, £1750

Non-standard specs:

  • Ivan’s full monty (by Mike)
  • K&N Air filter
  • MIVV carbon can with Homologation Cert.
  • Renthal 758 bars
  • ASV levers
  • Braided lines front & rear
  • Maxton fork spring, recent new bushes and seals
  • Overhauled rear shock with Hyperpro spring
  • Gilles rear-sets
  • Colour-matched powder coated wheels
  • Stainless radiator guard
  • Colour-matched side panels and radiator sides
  • Belly pan
  • LED ‘flowing’ indicators, indicator relay replaced.
  • LED rear light
  • LED clock bulbs
  • Lots of stainless/titanium/aluminium bolts
  • Street-fighter, standard & Zero Gravity DB screens
Comes with lots of original parts including centre stand, indicators, can, rear light, footrests. The bike is in VGC for age and mileage and runs and rides very well. The only downer is an intermittent fault to the fuel gauge.

  Info for an FZR400 overbore project - FZS600 Cylinder height and rod length
Posted by: ruckusman - 04-03-21, 12:59 PM - Forum: General - Replies (9)

Hi guys,
Hello from sunny, at the moment, Sydney Australia.
I had this posted in the FZS600 section @darrsi suggested I post it here for more attention.

I'm trying to hopefully get some info on the FZS600 cylinders, rods and pistons for an overbore project on a 3TJ1 FZR400.
I'm trying to avoid ending up with a workshop full of parts just for the purposes of taking measurements, especially when many bits will need to come from OS.
As an outline, because it's essentially de-stroking a YZF600/FZS600 from 49.6mm to 40.5mm, I'm trying to avoid removing bulk material from the cylinders to maintain the gasket mating surface.

What I know for certain - Yamaha in their wisdom built an incredibly versatile crank, with many dimensions which are maintained across many many bikes.So the conrod big ends go onto the FZR400 crank - no issues. Conrod little ends are 17mm bore, so compatible with YZF600 pistons if necessary.

Regarding the FZS600 rod and piston measurements, this is only if someone has either an engine in parts or can point me in the right direction to a service manual or the like for the dimensions on the internals.

I have some of the details from another forum where the FZR600 crank was used to build a stroker YZF600, but as you can imagine it's a very old post.The measurement details are missing, however in that case they built a spacer plate.

Ideally I'm looking for just the height of the FZS600 cylinder block to begin with because the OP just says that they're 2cm (must be a typo), likely meaning 2mm shorter than the YZF600 cylinder block, the height of which I don't yet know either.

Past that he mentions that the FZS600 conrods are 3mm shorter than the YZF600 conrods.So eye to eye conrod length measurement of the FZS600 rods if available/possible.
Then there is the last element, the compression height of the FZS600 pistons.
If anyone has a reliable source for the info, or can take the basic measurements I'd very much appreciate it.

Glenn

  Hello - here for some FZR400 project info hopefully
Posted by: ruckusman - 03-03-21, 10:16 PM - Forum: Introduction - No Replies

Hi Guys,
I'm in Sydney Australia and the FZS600 isn't a common bike over here unfortunately.

Anyway, I'm planning building an overbored FZR400 3TJ1, taking it to 490 using either FZS600 nikasil or YZF600r cylinders &/or rods and pistons.
It looks like I've come to the right place as this looks to be a very friendly and helpful forum.
Will be posting in the correct forum for the info

Here's a very interesting video countering the objections that some people have to electric vehicles because of the pollution from generating electricity.

Had an advisory on the rear socket today. Only got 12k on the clock.


Is this normal wear?


Any advice on replacement, is it worth going up or down teeth?  Any brands to avoid?


Is it an easy job to replace? I've no way of splitting the chain so is it possible to replace without doing this?
