Re: The rebirth of a 1990 fzr1000

OK 3rd time asking for help.

How do you keep the rubber cv diaphragms in the carb body groove so you can install the cap/spring? No doubt some sort of adhesive has to be used, im curious what is common.

Re: The rebirth of a 1990 fzr1000

Ultrasonic cleaner showed up, cleaned 2 eyes carbs and no jet kit.

Does anyone have any input regarding a jet kit vs stock jets with a slip on and stock air filter housing?

If anyone needs carb parts, here they are. 14k on the clock.

Re: The rebirth of a 1990 fzr1000

Got the carbs off the black 90, while stripping it down i was real carefull with the coil leads so i wouldnt pull them out of a plug boot. I didnt have to be, #1&2 boots were just gone. Needless to say ive found a trend with carb boots on bikes that have sat a few decades. Zoom in if you can, #3...

Re: The rebirth of a 1990 fzr1000

Im at a standstill with one eye so i started removing crash damage off the 90. I'll cut the tubes off the header and save the exup guts, only 8500 miles on them. As i said previously a oil line on the right side broke off the pan in the accident so ive written off the lower end. Hopefully the head a...

Re: Parts wanted 1990 fzr1k

OK im looking daily for a ign/gas cap and seat lock from the same bike with one key for a 90 fzr1k.

I got tons of spare parts to trade, or cash works as well.

Im also looking for a black cowl and a solo seat cover, not super necessary but im looking non the less.

Re: The rebirth of a 1990 fzr1000

I'll happily admit i screwed up here !

I put the shift arm on upside down last night in my rush to finish things up.

I also noticed what looks to be a transmission fill. Soo clueless on these bikes so im cleaning and removing stuff while i wait for the 30l cleaner to show up monday.

Re: The rebirth of a 1990 fzr1000

I finished the day by removing the sprocket cover so i can rotate the engine while prelubing. I went to shift it up to 5th and nothing after neutral. I think its time to get a manual.

Re: The rebirth of a 1990 fzr1000

Minor delay. Looks like a 30l unit is in my future. https://i.imgur.com/mN4LyBF.jpg I also broke down all the rubbers off the intake runners, all of them had a very pronounced cracks on the intake side that were no doubt causing runability issues. They look minor when there is no clamp force on them...

Re: The rebirth of a 1990 fzr1000

Anyone run fcr39 carbs? I have a line on a set and am wondering if they are worthwhile.

Re: The rebirth of a 1990 fzr1000

Finally. https://i.imgur.com/QYk8Hy8.jpg During the job I noticed what looks to be a small oil manifold that goes from the crankcase to cylinder head was super rusty, the loose engines was also rusty but the engine in the 90 looks mint. I think im going to use the carbs from the 90 instead of the 91...

Re: The rebirth of a 1990 fzr1000

Tried loosening the lower clamps on the carb boots, couldnt get all 4. Then tried the uppers, failed again. Currently loosening the allens that hold the boots to the head. This is harder than my slabby ! Oh and a tidbit i keep forgetting, the throttle shaft is seized so i cant rotate it for access t...

Re: 89 exup front and back end

IMO 89-90 fronts are worth more than usd's, cause soo few are for sale. I looked for over a year and never found a good set for sale. Those look excellent.

All 3 of mine are. I got a chuckle out of that.

Im tearing things down and of course a spark plug lead came out of a plug boot. That made me wonder are there cop swaps common to fzr1k's?

Re: The rebirth of a 1990 fzr1000

Well ol one eye got back up to the top of the priority list, so i took a bunch of pictures for later down the road as a insurance policy to know where stuff goes. I started taking a float bowl off to see how the carb guts looked and was bummed to see someone was in there previously and left half the...
