Greetings from the US
Here are some pictures of my new to me '97 YZF1000 (Thunderace). Last week I performed all kinds of maintenance on the bike. New fluids, replaced spark plugs and air filter. Also cleaned and synchronized the carbs. Got a good waxing too since I removed all of the fairings. Finally took it for a ride after getting it registered and insured. Wow I had forgotten how fast these bikes were!!! This was my first ride in almost 10 years and it was kind of scary .
Now I just have to fix the EXUP valve. Previous owner removed it and the bike doesn't run all that great below 4k RPM. Sourced a complete EXUP valve from an FZ1 (Fazer), but now I need the cables that run from the servo motor to the valve. Haven't had any luck finding them used so I will have to buy new ones from the dealer Enjoy the pics:

Well problem is my cables are not broken...they're missing so I doubt the universal cable kits would come with the adjusters. Anyway I learned through another forum that the 98-01 R1 EXUP cables fit the Ace as well. Found a set of those with good servo motor on eBay for a resonable price. Now I just have to put everything together and adjust it. Should be a fun projectBigJap4 wrote:Very clean & tidy example as for exup cables get a universal cable kit & make yer own,its a doddle,or translated its easy.
