"unlucky dudes...it's mine"

[extreme3d]

Well as some of you know, I brought Rick’s (Black Knights) old FZR600 off him a few months back. Cosmetically it wasn’t the best but I thought it would make a nice project or if all else failed I could split it up on ebay. Rick just didn’t have the time to do it himself and for £150 I could hardly say no.

To cut a long story short I gave up; the more I took it apart the more work seemed to be needed to make it gleam like new.

Whilst browsing ebay I came across another FZR advertised as a non-runner. Gearbox failure apparently. It looked in overall better condition and I couldn’t help but feel that the working engine in Rick's old FZR could be transplanted across and bob’s your uncle… a nice working FZR.

Anyway I won it for £360 and got it home with a van. The guy described it as total gearbox failure and to cap it off it was firing on two cylinders only. Actually filling the tank with fuel easily cured the latter – it was bone dry

It would still change gear so I didn’t think it was the gearbox, but the fact remained that whatever gear it was in the rear wheel still moved freely. So I sat on the floor with a mug of tea looking at it (as you do). It made a clicking noise when you moved it forwards so I looked at the chain as a first inspection. Low and behold it was going into the front sprocket housing at a weird angle. A quick session with some Allen keys and I’d found the problem - The front sprocket had popped off the shaft.

£3.16 and two days later a new locking washer and nut were fixed into place and all was well. It even came with brand new tyres, scorpion can, tax, MOT and ALL the past certificates. So a £363.16 result all ready for the top box and use as my hack bike. Hope it makes you sick

£600 for my FZR and about the same amount on fixing it and it still looks like a pile of poo.

Damn you and all of your kind

Booked it onto the Dyno tommorrow. Needs a bit of a tune as it's running a bit rich. Whilst the nice back-fires and blue flames shooting out of the back may look good, I think it might be best in the long run to sort it out - if only for my hearings sake

Other than that it goes great!
