FZR future in doubt

[k14]

in general the FZR's arent too bad bikes, the 250's i heard were more reliable than the CBR250s. I reckon if you look at the cam chain you find a link is suspect. Is the exhaust rattling? that would be the exup valve

roflmao, that is total shit. The fzr's are no where near as reliable as the cbr's. Go on the cbr250 forums and you will see how many have ever blowen up. You could count them on 1 hand. Having gear drive cams definately makes alot of sense on a bike that revs to 19000rpm.

Hope you sort out that problem magua, don't think I can be of any help though.

he wont be able to fix it unless someone comes over and does it for him...

i sure as hell wont be helping him any more

[Magua]

Stop your bitching Frankie, just because I won't sand your bumper for you.

[Frankie]

it has nothing to do with that

[Magua]

Then what's your problem?

[Mr Skid]

Frankie, Magua posted here asking for help with his bike.

If you have any personal grievances with him, this is not the place to be voicing them.

YOU COULD DROP THE OIL AND FILTER SEE IF ANYTHING COMES OUT WITH THE OIL IF NOTHING DOES JUST TRY A NEW FILTER AND OIL I HAD A BIKE THAT ALWAYS GOT ROWDY WITH OLD OIL IN IT.THIS IS THE ONLY ADVICE I CAN OFFER WITHOUT LOOKING AT IT.

Yip winja has a point (all be it in capitals). A lot of bikes (well most that i have had) get "noisey" with old oil and filters. Cause it's not lubricating correctly. Do that first and see how she sounds

Umm. Have you owned one??? Tis a bottomless pit for money!!!!!

The ONLY GOOD THING about FZR was the 400 which was a great bike in it's day. My Fizzer uses more oil than General Motors. I had the motor done up in the winter by a motorcycle mechanic who races an FZR 400. Didn't use much oil for a while. Now the thirsty bitch drinks it like petrol! The suspension is shyte as is Maguas from what I understand.

It is Yamahahahaha. Ya get what ya pay for. Man I shoulda bought a HOnda

Mine seems to keep it's oil, but it gets 10 k's to a litre of a petrol! Should have bought the suzuki!

Hmmm. My Zeal, with the same engine (but probably a different carburetion and breathing setup) gets 18km per litre. Still utterly awful for a two fiddy, of course, but there is probably a little extra efficiency to be gotten out of your bike with some tuning and TLC.

Harumph.

Nothing wrong with FZR's, or any other of the smaller bikes, come to think of it. It's just that most 250's get thrashed by inexperienced riders.

My FZR750R has proven to be more or less bulletproof.

Ive had a FZR for 4 months, never had a problem, great little bike.

I have like 3 different flat spots in the rev range, and no idea why! Can't even remove the F&^#@ing carbs to have them checked becuase I won't be able to put them on. The seals are shot.
