Hiya Matt, I somehow knew you'd been into your clutch, but I hadn't seen the pics - so thanx for the link. <br> <br> A quick word on the parts descriptions - <br> There are only three major castings in the clutch assembly - but probably a dozen different words for them -<br><br> The Basket/Gear asse...

Re: Valves
I've got two rebuildable core heads at the moment, possibly three ( meaning no valve stems through the water jackets, seats still in place). <br> At least two of those will need valve replacement, I'm gonna guess Johns project is held up at the moment from him being busy with all that snow, but we h...
Valves
Good question there, and a standard width feeler guage is too wide. I recently noticed in a Snap on Tools catalog ( or Mac, or Cornwell, I can't really remember which) a set of motorcycle width feeler guages in the popular sizes for bike engine work. Sometimes the prices aren't all that bad when you...

Re: fzr 1000 exup 6 speed conversion
I hadn't heard about replacing the oil pipe, but it makes sense, I'll bet it looks exactly the same untill you look at the oil spray jets, they would be drilled in different places to accomodate the different six speed gear spacing. <p> <span style="font-family:helvetica; color:blue;font-size:xx-sma...

Re: Carb configurations
Do you still have the EXUP valve Bill? <br> The carbs shouldn't be much trouble if the exhaust hasn't been changed. Just go back to the stock jetting as described in the factory service manual.

Umm, John? It's taken a few days for my synapses to recover from the short circuit event that simultaneously occurred during my efforts to process all those acronyms.

Thanx Rob, that is what I was looking for. I have asked around a little locally about different distro's, mandrake was mentioned, so was gentoo, (man they sure have a lot of weird names, I should talk).

Re: clutch switch removal
Hi Hooli-mod, Looks to me like that switch cuts the starter with the bike in gear, clutch out, <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>and</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> a start request input. It's wired roughly in series with the neutral switch. How sure are you, that (that) will never happen? I'd keep it. <p>...
