Hi, I recently passed my full licence, and have purchased a big boy's bike, so its time for my TZR to go to a new home.
Blue with yellow trim, bodywork is not perfect, but is complete. Had some cracks around the top fairing, but I had them plastic welded. Mirrors are mis-matched, one is blue, the other is white. Has only been run on fully synthenic oil, either Sikolene, or Castrol TTS, since I've owned it. Has only had one tank of 91, apart from that either 95 or preferably 98. WOF and reg until December.
I bought it at around 47,000km, and at the time I replaced:
Chain (DID o-ring), both sprockets, both discs, both sets of pads, rear wheel has been changed to a 3.5" wide from a 3ln FZR, new Bridgestone dual compound BT45s, new headstock (taper roller) bearings, new forkseals, new grips, new clutch plates and uprated springs, new airfilter, new thermostat, new fuel filters on both the main and reserve lines, new fueltap "smiley face" oring, new battery, new fork oil, coolant, and gearbox oil, new horn, new uprated halogen headlamp, new brake and clutch levers.
The guy who owned it before me, had ran it without an air-filter, and the motor had sucked in a bunch of small stones, and was missing the front edge of the crown from the right-hand piston, so the motor was replaced at about 48,000kms with a second hand one. I pulled the head and barrels off the replacement motor, and found that it had been recond as it was running 0.5mm oversize pistons, and the bores still had a fair amount of the honemarks left. The only thing I had to do was make new retainers for the powervalve bushes as the original Yamaha ones are complete shit, and let the bushes work their way loose. Has run like a top since then.
Other things done: pipes were removed and had the carbon/oil burnt out of them, the rear suspension, including the swingarm, was removed, inspected, and regreased. Both calipers were removed, disassembled, inspected for torn orings, pistons and bores scrubbed clean, reassembled, and both lines flushed with new fluid. Carbs disassembled and cleaned. Autolube reset to factory settings.
Give me an email address, and I'll send you some pics. Cheers.
