Yeah, I'll give you a hand, but my knowledge does not go beyond removing bolts

Seriously, If you are going to rebuild it gimme a PM. Do it for the experience.

my gn's runnin like crap and the other one needs a fix up, am planning on doing it this sat (will go as far as removing the head on the one that has an oil leak i think and tear both of em's carbs apart again).... maintenence day anyone?

as for manual's, borrow a workshop one from a mechanic... it'll give you all the specifics you need and i think haynes made a 400/600 version that you could get all the "tips" out of...

should i give this guy a txt and see if he's got these engines still? i got priced $450 for a top end fixer upper when i dropped a valve on my gn... and thats a single

on another note, in aus a wrecker has a motor with >20,000k's for $800AU

I've just emailed a fellow who might have that manual for you.

"might fuck things up and make it a lot worse"

Nah, it's just taking the thing apart to see what's up eh. If your cam chain snapped, odds are you're going to need a new engine

[Squiggles]

its not running, cant get much worse...

never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups....

+ theres always HDTBoy's (he's a mech) help for a small donation to his race fun d if you get really stuck (search out the thread, it was in the General Maintenence section a short while ago)

^ True. I remember when me and westie took my clutch apart, just undo a few bolts, and rip the sucker out. I couldn't beleive how easy it was.

It's either DIY, or spend twice the value of the bike on labour That's what motivated me to DIY it.

[2wheeljunkie]

i've got all the knowhow and experience to show you how to fix it, but obviously the manual helps - even if you can find pictures/diagrams on the net with tolerances etc (nothing worse than spring loaded bits flying past your face never to be found nor identified again)

if it's the crank get a new engine cus u dunno what else is fucked, if it's the cam chain and a valve hit a piston you'll need atleast a new piston and cylinder block (or bore it out to 260cc), if it's the gearbox, get a pro to fix it or it'll explode because you put a washer in the wrong way round and if nothing hit anything it's pretty straight forward - the hardest bit will be getting the new chain in.

personally i'd get a honda engine and drop that in - i don't see many fzr nor gsxr 250s around and from my gsxr experience it's cause they don't last

and yes, a rebuild/repair will be chearper than the new vtr - but the vtr will last you forever while the fzr may only last 10,000k before the next failure; some bikes just don't last
