FZR600 fighter

honestly, yammies take forever to bleed, brembo or no. I don't know if it's the calipers or not. I have found that you need to follow this sequence on my fzr:

bench bleed master.
connect all plumbing.
gravity bleed from caliper.
pump bleed in this order - master, junction (if there) then caliper.

set over night

check again/bleed as necessary.

I know it seems bass ackwards, but it works
 
first off! huge thanks to brandon for the new master! looks awesome man!!!
well, did nto get much done "on this bike" this weekend...
but did get the kick stand cut, measuered, and welded it back up, just needs powder and it can go back on the scoot!

Well twisted, worked like a top!
I took apart the master you sent me, cleaned up the plunger a bit, then of course powder coated it. on the lever i unbent some of the curl that the lever had and then sliced off the ball so that it would match the other side a bit better, then into the blast cabinet to prep for powder. Totally forgot the lid at home!!!! so i still need to coat that, oooh well. while we were coating figured we could knock out the rest of the parts as well, i made a bracket to hold the over flow tube, just bent some flat alum stock around the over flow, drilled a hole in it, done, coat it! then of course the kick stand now that it is all welded up and looking good. the stand came out light years better than i could have hoped, such a small part on the bike that you really really need to look close to see if it was modified, i love that, looks so clean it could have been stock!
then dad brought his bike back into the shop...... AGAIN.... so i slapped his new bars on, of course they where too low so machined up some spacers for the risers to bring them up 2 inches, polished that out... still got to run the wires internal but he LOVES them... tonight i will finish them up so he is good to go for this weekend

the CBR master worked out AWESOME!!!!! took my time taping it off for coating so i can keep the view window. after i got it back together, used the mighty vac, and the speed beeders, i had the whole front end bled in 5 min! if not less, worked out AWESOME!!!!! so pleased with the bleeders and the vac.
* now i need to figure out a front brake switch! any ideas?

Everything's lookin good Joe! And you're right about that stand, it looks original.

Must be driving you nuts to have this project so close to being done!
 
oooh it is! tonight i clean the chain, get that on, and get the carbs in place... i hope! dad wants me to internal wire his bars so he has his ride for this weekend... something tells me he will win this battle!
 
I should have snapped a picture of the wifes face when she was like, that lever is too far, i wish you could move it closer, i just smiled, turned the set screw and it moved closer... SHE WAS EAR TO EAR... said "oooh you tell this guy i say THANK YOU, now my hands will not hurt!!!" she was very happy! even though i woke her up at 2 am to check it out :)

Hahahaaha! Awesome man! That makes me smile! It was well worth shipping it up to you bro!
 
well... had a day yesterday... found out the chain does not have a masterlink, no joke not even a press in flair style, had my brother come by to confirm i was not loosing it and he agreed.... so, cleaned the chain up, it is amazing what a steel brissle brush and some simple green will do to a old chain, and got that on, and lubed up. put the new 15 gear spocket on, right side of the bike all the gaskets on and the cases on, had to pull of the swing arm (not such a bad thing cause i really needed to put on the chain guard wiht it off, put on the chain guard (protect the swing arm), got the chain on, put back on the swing arm, put back on the rear wheel, tightened the chain up, and then put on the sprocket cover and clutch cable (looks awesome in the color match to the tins) from there i did some sodering, i re did the kick stand switch, redid a few lines up front, redid the conections on the clutch switch... and my brother found a honda switch in my box of switches!!!! so i have a front brake switch now. from there i set the height of my floats, went to 23mm, stock is 22, aftmarket needle is 24, since i have stock needles but a jet kit in it i cut it in 1/2 and did 23mm so we will see how that flows. got the carbs mounted into the bike

so tonight i need to figure out how to button up the cluster FK of plugs at the neck of the bike, then wire up the front headlight, plug that in and DONE, got the speedo line run, done

all i am waiting on is the correct head gasket, the one that they sent me was from a YZF not a FZR! soon as i get that the cooling system and exhaust goes on. and i can fire her up!

brother and dad are going out riding Fri I hope to be with them on this!

for some reason only one picture sent this morning from my cell... so i have to figure out how to get the rest. but here it is

chain dirty before clean (amazing what soaking it in some simple green and using a soft bristle steel brush can do)

So what accents are you putting on that black? I know you got to have some idea by now, and I know you are going to do some thing with it!
 
going with gloss black accents. had Gary at GHI signs (forum member) make up some decals in gloss black and he got those to me. so i will pop a few of those on... then wait for a rainy day and air brush in some tribal in gloss black. i got a plug in black for the frame so i got that weird hole covered up now! so that is pretty cool. before i go adding more i want to get it off the lift put together so i can get a good look at it from a few steps back, let it "speak to me" ha ha ha
