Hey Mr Paul In NZ, what year is your FZR?

Hey Mr Paul In NZ, what year is your FZR?

It's hard to be exactly certain because it's a Japanese Import but nominally its an '88. Its the 1WG model but has the EXUP valve and the flat slide carbs. The model changed a fair bit in 89/90 I think.

The parts I've been ordering are for the USA spec EXUP model and everything has been OK apart for the carb bits which were different.

Cheers

So is it the 3EN1 or 3EN2? (3rd and 4th on the list respectively)

There are the actual models... all of them appear to be 1WG, but they've got extra model names for each year they brought out a new one... would you say the 3EN1/2 has the exact same engine as the 2TK (2nd on the list)

Its the 3ENI....

Yup - Wot she said but that means bugger all to the septics - I think some of their models are called other things?? damned if I know...

[Paul in NZ]

Right - nearly there....

I seem to be missing a bracket to attach a radiator shroud? I'll look again during the day 'cos I may have missed something..

However - cosmetics still need attention (trust me - the digital camera flatters it) the fairing needs minor repairs, a new screen and the fork oil needs changing but if I give it a polish - it should get a wof!

Oh - in case you are interested - remember where we began? Well it starts on the button - hot or cold - instantly!

Maybe the camera flatters it as you say but whatever its looking fabulous.

Maybe the camera flatters it... but if that's the case it flatters it a lot - it looks brand new! Oustanding effort mate! And running well too. Have you taken it for much of a shakedown run?

[Paul in NZ]

Have you taken it for much of a shakedown run?

Um - my neighbours still like me and I'd like to keep it that way ;-)

Trust me - it's not brand new - many little isues to resolve etc but it's coming on - once its legal it will get a run for sure (assuming oil tight and water tight)

I guess I can't find the bracket for the radiator shroud because its actually an air guide and fits someplace around the carbs / fuel tank...

Drat.... A least i know where it's supposed to go now!

[Paul in NZ]

Wooo Hoooooo!

Passed the WOF and now registered.... Its both mobile and legal! Choice!!

Now for the tough bit! The last jobs!!

#1. Its still running rich - quite a cloud of black with a good fist full of throttle... Hmm! I've not kitted the carbs yet with the dyno jet kit as I'm not sure it's the right one (will research)....

#2. The front end feels a bit clumsy - I'll swap out the oil this arvo...

#3. New fairing blade - I'll measure it all up - there are many types for FZR400's

Cheers

ps - any hints on the running rich?? I'm all ears lads!

Has it got the correct air filter? It might have some budget foam in there which isnt letting enough air through... hence running rich. Just a thought...

That was my first thought when I started but it has the correct factory filter - brand new.. Good thought though...

[Colapop]

Have you cleaned the carbs...? hehehehe...

Congrats Paul. You've done a great job and im glad that all your hard work has paid off! Was kinda contemplating looking at buying it back off you..... But then reality hit me!
