WTB 1987 FZR750 Engine - in the interests of getting my bikeless mate back on the road. Who's got a cheap engine? (not sure if subsequent engines would fit, but may consider?) PM me. Cheers, Rich

Do you have an existing engine?

I know pete376403 has one without gearbox internals. Is that enough to help you? Send him a PM.

Sorry, that was sold a while ago, went to Kiwi Cowboy (a KiwiBiker) in Ranfurly.
That *may* have been an FZ750, not an FZR (bugger all difference, though)
That said, try KiwiCowboy as he may have bits left over (How many times can you recycle a motor?)

Also I don't believe later engines will fit - the cylinder block of the later (exup) style motors has a different angle to the first ones, so different frame.

Thanks for clearing that up Pete.

I've 99.99% sure that the FZ750 and 1987 FZR750 motor are almost identical, the only difference being the pickup on the ignition on the FZR.
