    It's a real boy


    Not sure about the smoke
    Mechanics changed the oil aswell as tune.
    Hasn't ridden more than a k in three years so I guess I can't get too worried haha

    This is what the inside of the tank looks like, no loose rust only surface rust but I guess will slowly come off in the carbys haha
    Got any suggestions on getting it all off ??

    @Bluey There are a couple of inspection stations out that way.

    I think the Calwell servo had one.

    I usually go to Kevin's Automotive in Fyshwick.

    You can get a one-day Unregistered Vehicle Permit to get work done/get a rego inspection.
    After you get an inspection you can get a permit for a week. You'll need to go into a Canberra Connect shopfront and provide the current plate number (if any) and
    More info on the ACT RTA website - http://www.rego.act.gov.au/registration/unregistered-vehicle-permits

    There's list of Authorised Inspection Stations by location on the ACT RTA website too -

    Bit of a noob when it comes to "smooth" riding, only ever rode dirt bikes.
    Need some tips on my glitchy throttle hand as you can hear in the vid.

    More revs and ride the clutch more, a motorcycle wet clutch is designed to be ridden for hours on end. you have to remember whilst the FZR has 45 horspowers they are all found high in the rev range with next to no torque. So around 6k revs and slip that clutch
