fzr400rr needles

Post by banner001 »

off to sort out a set of carbs for a mate of mine and he thinks his needles are worn...ive not been too look at it yet but does anyone know where i might be able to buy a new set of needles for a '92 bike, obviously ebay will be searched, failing that does anyone happen to have a set of standard needles in a drawer somewhere?

in other news ive finished off lukather's fzr250r as much as i can, i think the front MC is gone, and i cant get it to idle, but its gone from a box of bits to a complete bike, slightly blurry pics to follow...

I think I may have a few spare m/cs at home for the 1000 if they're any use to you

Try Allens for the needles :)

allens performance, okill give them a ring, took his carbs off, there is some wear to the needles, looks like they are wearing near the tip of the needle on the threaded portion of the emulsion tube...but i dont think its that severe to warrant replacing but ill get a price and go from there.

cheers for the MC offer, but it would be way to big for the little 250 :D
