Exup 1000

The idea of the expansion tank is that when the coolant gets hot it pushes excess fluid into the expansion tank and when the engine cools down again it sucks the liquid back again, if the tube only just enters the tank this will not happen. What I will say is that some people top up the radiator rig...

R1 stick coils work too, have a set on my FZR1000 Genesis and have just bought more for the Thunderace

When I fitted a YZF750 to my FZ750 I had to swap the bottom yolk stem over in to the YZF as it was longer, I've also fitted a EXUP RU front end into my 1000 genesis and the only obstacle was the lock-stops, but that's no big problem either

Bit late to do a compression test now, or better still a leak down test usuing compressed air.
But good luck hope you sort it out.

I'm watching it on eBay actually, if win the bidding it would be great to get it posted here, if not I have a brother in England I could send it to.

Nice shocker
I'd be interested if you could post it abroad

I take it the plug leads are on the correct plugs?
