Info FZR250 purchase

Firstly.... the white one from this thread is in being tuned by my guy at the workshop, has new oil and filter, got a airfilter from unifilter made up, new plugs, fitted the fuel tap parts, new fuel lines and inline fuel filter. Should get it back in a few weeks.

Got another one...... turns over, rusty tank... usual stuff. Will try to get it running first. Might be a parts bike... we will see.

 

or..... get the white bike finished and registered.....

and the blue one is the supercharger project....

 

thanks for that, had a read, my tuning guy hasnt started on the bike yet, i will warn him. My guy was tuning the FZR250's when nobody else could in the early 90's as they arrived in Australia. He has also tuned my 2x MC19 and MC22 to perfection, so i have high hopes for this one. Fzr is supposed to have a little more bottom end, and watching a few Vids it looks like the gearbox winds out longer in each gear... we will see.
Thanks again for the heads up.
The OEM boots were wildly expensive.

 

my mate made a bit of progress on the FZR250R supercharger project....

 

Finally..... got the FZR250R 1989 back from the workshop, tuned and almost ready for rego... i did the rest.
140PSI across all cylinders so im happy enough with that. blue slipped and ready for rego..... I had forgotten how nice these fibreglass fairing were. Put a BMW K1300 Brembo master cylinder on it... (cause i had it lying around) and fitted a pressure switch for the brake light... works a treat... very progressive braking to full when lever is pulled, just how i like it. Black tank was replacement on rusty white one that was on it.... kinda like the black tank.
New Metzler Sportec tyres in correct sizes.
Unifilter air filter was not great, poorly sized, wrong air flow amount, lucky i had a near new air filter in the spare blue bike.
Took it for a run, had a few spits and then settled in, winds out to 18,000 nicely, engine sounds and feels tight. Nice Midrange. Doughy under 4k.... like most inline 250 -4 s.
Anyways.... stay tuned...

 

no more progress yet

 

Took it for a spin.... its got some problems still.... running better after a good run.... needs a few more...
black tank looks ok... Out to wisemans ferry, river rd, cliftonville rd n back

 

Turns out the black tank i got is fulla bog.... took the petrol a while to burn its way through...

anyways... got another tank, silver top, super dark blue/purple fleck thats looks black... at least it says Yamaha on the bike now.

 

clutch felt a bit slippy, im 106kg... engine is running better, feels smoother. Ordered a clutch rebuild kit from UK. should get it in a week or so.
Forks leaking like hell... ordered fork seals, my dust caps look good.. parts should be here this arvo.

 

WARNING!!!!!
FZR250 can be an annoying SAGA... should be worth it.....

 

went for a spin today, i havnt done the forks or clutch yet, but gave it a flogging anyway.
