Quite a bit of trouble. It entails the following:<br><br>1. yank out the motor<br>2. remove the clutch components<br>3. remove the cams<br>4. remove the head/cylinder<br>5. loosen all the bolts in sequence. Some on top, some on the bottom, some between the connecting rods. <br>6. split the cases<br>7. remove the output shaft <br>8. have the bearing and shaft sleeve pressed off <p></p><i></i>

I wouldn't ride it before it is repaired. Actually I find it hard to believe that you have two balls missing and it is otherwise holding together. The balls are held in a retainer and run in a race that constrains them very well. They can't just fall out, something has been very persuasive at making them exit. Bear in mind that your life depends on you being able to guide the cycle on the path of least resistance. That would be hard to do with a locked rear tire. <p></p><i></i>

Over heating in a 1993 FZR600

Post by warmachineportugal »

HI, i´ve read all the posts, but I have a friend with a problem and maybe you can help me. The bike FZR600 of 1993, has the water of the cooling system in a reservoir located in the back of the motorcycle. The problem is that the water comes out of that reservoir, all water is spitted out by the hole in reservoir, through the breeding hole, while thew engine works. Do you ever heard something like this?Can you help me? I´m sorry for the poor english..... <p></p><i></i>

Too much fluid in the res. The cooling system exchanges fluid between the res and rad. The actual level of fluid needs to be checked under the rad cap (cooled down of course) and the line on the res should never be overfilled. If continues check thermostat switch. Don't worry about the english, my portugese is much worse.<br>CHUCK D. <p></p><i></i>
