Re: thaks all

The hardest part is trying to find a way to compress the spring enough to get to the inner nut which allows for the cartridge to be removed/ installed. No dealerships or shops of any sorts? I just can't realisticaly see taking them apart with out the specialty tools. I hate to say it, but in my expe...

Re: just wondering

$50.00 for claps and $20.00 for the bar clips (this is the actual clip, you will use same bar insert from your 89-90). Then all you do, is find some FZR 1000 upside down 91-93 tubes , new set of steering head bearings (I can provide if needed) and walla, modern upside down front end upgrade. Same Ro...

Re: EXUP squeak

I've just gotten used to it over the last 5 years. They will all squeek a bit, but those that have tinked those bolts off in the hearder housing know the danger of messing with it too.<br><br>CHUCK D. <p></p><i></i>

Re: EXUP

Missing HP usually is a sign of low compression. How many miles on your bike? Last valve adj? and last carb Sync? These bikes aren't Italian, but do require specs to be met to have true 5 valve harmony.<br><br>CHUCK D. <p></p><i></i>

The days of old

A picture of Dutchmans Machine/ Engine Shop. Look at all those beautiful engines, notice how they used the GYT-R oil pans, see how Deep they are!

Conversion

It's a bit more complicated than you think, and just blocking the lines won't do it. The difference in the two systems goes all the way to the oil pump, the 89-90 has a whole difference in that it pumps oil out of the pan and the newer one doesn't have the outlet for that neither the holes in the si...

The roadside test can be done on a FZR 1000, just with CAUTION. To get the BEST jetting on one once, I pulled the fairings off, let er rip up top and shut it off and roll to a stop.
