We have the FZS600 and FZS1000 - both with carbs and the FZ6 and FZ1/FZ1000 which are the injection models

So, I was faced with the choice: either sell it or rebuild it. In the end, together with a friend, I rebuilt the bike, replaced the engine, and changed various wear parts.

During this time, I also realized how difficult it can be to find tips and tricks, since the bike is already over 20 years old. That’s why I’m here — to exchange information and hopefully both get and give help.

Well it’s the „facelift“ FZS600 with carbs  the model number is rj02 (it’s the Modelnumber for that 600s from 2000- 2003) (correct me if I’m wrong)

What was the cause of the failure? In is rare for these engines to go at that low numer of Kms. Many have had well over (my own included) have gone over the 160000 km mark without issues
