My Fizzer 3LN3 Project Log

The intake rubbers have just surface cracks removed them and there still pretty good not cracked through anywhere
all the o rings are still in good nick was expecting them to be like plastic but they where all still pretty soft and still had there elasticity even the float bowl rubbers
the only ones that looked slightly perished where the main jet o rings but they were not that bad at all and yes all pilot jets had holes on the side of them which I presume is the way there meant to be

also had a seal kit ordered but it ended up 14000 km away long story
pics of the inline filter below

 

Got my clutch kit today and it has six friction discs like it should but one of the friction discs has less friction material then the rest and a smaller inner diameter but the same outer diameter?
a quick web search states that one is indeed different but where in the stack does it fit?
has anyone replaced one recently?

 

got it sorted it fits in the stack in the second position ie there is six friction discs and the one that is different sits second in the stack towards the engine/flywheel
and just be careful you don't tilt the bike of the stand because the ball bearing that sits in the centre of the flywheel can fall into the sump and if you cant get it with a magnet you will have to remove the sump!!!!

 

Drove the bike for the first time since doing the clutch and stripping and cleaning the carburettors and its going much better!!!!
before cleaning the carbys I was having problems at low rpm slow speed stuff like stop start and in traffic with what can be only described as the bike cutting out and what seemed like the engine flooding and the only way to get it started again was to crank it over with no throttle for like thirty or forty seconds and it would gradually fire up again it was bloody annoying also if I didn't use a lot of revs pulling away from lights it would bog down and do the same but a high revs and when flat out it flew!!!! so didnt seem like a spark issue
But now its perfect like a new bike pulls cleanly through the hole rev range

 

Got a chance to do a bit of work today on the fizer,it had the usual squeaky rear suspension so striped out the rear shock
and the swing arm connected to the main swing arm and cleaned and re greased the needle bearings
no more squeks

 

When the shock was out I checked for play in the main swing arm bearings and they were fine and the swing arm had a nice smooth feel so unless I have to I will leave them be, as you said big job!
didn't touch the adjuster but probo should have when it was out

 

Got a gopro last week and looking back at the footage I think my bike may be geared to high
ie less teeth on the rear sprocket
in first gear indicted by the speedo 90kmh at redline 2nd 125 redline and third 150 redline
closed road of course
I must count the teeth on the sprockets tomorrow
what are everyone else's fzr,s geared like?

 

Well have been looking at Motards lately and I am going to take the plunge and buy a 06/07 crf450x and convert it or a dzr400. hopefully will get a good trade in on the fzr?
going to have a look at a few at the weekend!
unless somebody on here is interested in it?
will miss the fizer
am I mad

 

the new super moto/motard !!!!! husky 450 smr
absolute wheelie machine great fun but difficult to drive for more then an hour, mainly the seat trying interfere with you ha ha
massive torque compared to the fizzer will pop the front up in 1st and second gear with no clutch but will run out of gear very fast
the vibrations are epic hence the name thumpers you feel every power stroke
great manoeuvrability at low speed but they get real wobbly at high speed
they come standard with a 120 17 front tyre and a 150 17 rear
liking it so far but they are hard core racing machines
