Maxima
I generally use a chain cleaner spray (Maxima product) that's a cleaner/degreaser. Safe on alloy, plastics, rubber, etc ... I spray an area, brush with a 3-sided brush that's made for cleaning chains, spray the spot with water, and wipe with a rag. Then move the chain to the next spot and repeat. Ch...

Gallery Bolt
I don't bother with the gallery bolt. I don't take off any more fairing than needed to change the oil (just the one lower left side panel). But I do fill the new oil filter (1994 FZR1000) with fresh oil before I put it on. This provides oil flow on the initial startup (no initial cavitation). You ca...

Same goes for buttons
Nbot,<br>FYI ... locking the front wheel so it stays straight, while you raise the rear with the stand, is the same for any type of swingarm stand. Keep the front wheel straight and locked if you don't want a tip over.<br>Don <p></p><i></i>

No buttons
Nbot,<br>I bought a Lockhart Phillips swingarm stand that does not require buttons. It has rubber coated spring-loaded extensions that slide under the swingarm. Works great. You can position it along the swingarm to get either the height you want or to position the stand so it's not in the way. When...

Ticking
You can get ticking from lighter weight oil in the FZR1000. Top end (valves) will be noiser with 10W oils in warm/hot weather. The knocking part I'm not too sure about. A lashing/splapping noise can be the cam chain tensioner. You said the bike is an 88 but did not mention the mileage. <br>Don <p></...

Valve Adjustment (bike shop)
Having the valves adjusted at a bike shop will run $250 - $300. It's all labor unless they find something wrong. Shims are not expensive.<br> Don <p></p><i></i>

Drain Plug Gasket
The oil drain plug has a metal gasket that your suppose to replace with each oil change. Yamaha dealer has them for approximately $0.97 or so. Gasket allows you to snug the drain plug without over tightening it or having any oil leak. Oil drain plug torque spec is 31 ft. lbs. (43 Nm). I don't know i...

Squeak
Graham,<br>I have not experienced the EXUP squeaking. I would not think the fuel octane would make a difference to the EXUP valve. The valve is controlled from a servo motor and cables. Most of the comments on lower octane is that the bike runs better. I assume the dealer greased the EXUP bushings d...

Crash Bobbins
Nbot,<br>I checked GSG moko's website and they listed the crash bobbins (frame sliders) for the FZR1000 with a notation that LHS/RHS fairing modification is required. What mods did you have to make for installation ?<br>Don <p></p><i></i>

Chain Adjustment
Nate,<br>To find the spot on the chain with the least amount of slack you can either roll the bike along the ground or lift the rear wheel off the ground. The remaining procedures take place with the bike stationary, both wheels on the ground, bike in neutral.<br>Use the adjusters to tighten or loos...

Chain Adjustment
It's interesting to see the posts that say "bike on center stand, in neutral, no weight" and those that say "sit on the bike". I really don't know which is correct for most bikes but the 1994 FZR1000 Owner's Manual says "bike on center stand, in neutral, no weight". The FZR1000 Service Manual says "...
