Title: WTB fzr600
Post by: spc on June 21, 2007, 12:50:40 PM
I'd prefer a running one with cosmetic damage but if ya got one or another early 90's 600+ let me know what ya want for it? what condition? where??
I'm gonna use it as a rider til insurance pays me and I buy a new bike, then I think I'm gonna go nuts on it ( R1 fairing kit, custom exhaust....)

i'm such a bad influence

FZR-600 have a problem with receiding valve seats after 12-15klicks
and the valve stem tips are hard chromed

something to think about while looking....

I have a YZF750 braced arm assy with shock and linkage for that project..... :icon_mrgreen:

yes you are :laugh: :laugh:  but damn that R1 kit looks good.

I'll keep that in mind....don't think it'll deter me, just prepare me for problems that may arise.

I'll try to remember about that when I get to that point in the project....the stock setup looks pretty ghey.......and out of place once the R1 conversion is done :thumb: :thumb:

I have a 92' for sale, all new valves, new painted frame (black) and yellow body work, It dosn't have the lower fairings, resembles more of the bandit look with just the upper single headlight fairing.

there's a post in the odd/end about how i've rebuilt it.

dude...gsxr1100 cams, mild port, full exhaust, pods, good jetting...you'll walk all over an R1 down the straight.  Couple hundred into the suspesion and you'll do everywhere else, too.

110lbs of torque...just yummy...

Ehhh  I want a 600+..........  If I end up getting that gix750 I'm gonna tear it down send the cams to megacycle and order new pistons, sleeves etc.............looks like boring to the low 900's with good cams, exhaust and carbs will put 130 on the wheel :icon_twisted: :icon_twisted:

I still really like that R1 conversion kit though :icon_confused: :icon_confused: hmm.......wonder what it would look like on an old gix 750 :laugh: :laugh:

130 to the wheel?  1100 cams, a full exhaust, pods, good jetting and a slight timing advance will put you in the 130's with a b12 and nearly 100ft/lbs.  I'd really love to see the old 750 put down 100ft/lbs.

Good port job and you're looking at 130+ ft/lbs and 150+ whp.

107 and 70?  haha B12 does that stock.

B12 is a newer 1200cc  this is an older 750........  It'll meet my needs and I think I can do all the engine work, buy the bike and fix up anything else including a new front tire for less than 2k :thumb:
