front fork agony
I have pondered the same issue myself for many hours. The best value for the dollar spent in my opinion would be to swap a zx-12r front end onto the FZR. (Mine is 92 as well). This would necessitate some professional assistance regarding the steering head bearings, but I do think it is a viable opti...

When was the last time your valves were adjusted?
I had the same problem with my bike and it was because the valves were so badly out of adjustment that a feeler gauge(way smaller than spec) wouldn't even fit between the bucket and cam base circle. The intake valves weren't closing all the way when hot. <p></p><i></i>

bleeding
I recently added braided stainless lines to my front brake system. Getting all the air out of the system was a bitch. The air bubbles will sit at the highest point in the system, which is where the top banjo bolt attaches to master cylinder. The most effective method is to detach the "c" shaped clam...

Re: clutch and more
Thank you very much jjs777 for taking the time to repeat what you have written before for others. Since the big FZR's use a relatively gentle steering head angle, I had my doubts as to whether it would cause severe handling problems lifting the back end. Thanks again. I'm a Ford guy too.<br><br><br>...

Re: clutch and more
Hello everyone, greetings from Whistler, BC, Canada.<br><br>I'm quite glad I looked at this thread because I was investigating altering my dog bones to give more rear ride height. A local shop has strongly advised against it, as they felt it would severely affect high speed stability. (speed wobbles...
