I'm sorry I had left you guys hanging. You guys helped me out and got it running right! For some reason I had #1 turned out to far. When I seated it and turned it out 3/4 a turn I was able to get the rpms down to 1260-1320 with all tb's synced. And I did it at 4000 rpms too. She's been running...
I just did a valve adjustment and set the the throttle vacuum to 8.5 but for some reason I cant get the idle lower than 1440. Ive even screwed the idle adjuster all the way out. Ive checked to make sure I have all the hoses reconnected and Sprayed wd-40 in the engine to see if there was a...
I've got over 40000 miles on the bike and I'm on the original rear pads. I hardly ever use the rear brake. Only for panic stops and if I go off-roading. Lol!

I enjoy working on my bikes. Yes it does get frustrating at times but I'm still learning. I have the satisfaction of saying that "I" fixed it.
I just brought back to life a 96 FZR600R that had been left in storage for 13 years. To hear that motor fire up and then to fix, replace, and...
What would help? I think it's good cause I had zip tied the top sprockets. But I'm not sure. I think if one tooth more it would be off. But I'm just looking at manual and haven't seen other pics of timing. Kicking myself for not taking a pick before.

Got it back together and just wondering about timing. I zip tied the sprockets but unsure about the marks. Does this look right?
If I move my head up abit and look down this is what I see.

I picked up the new shims, $2 each and we swapped 2 shims cause he was low on them. What's the best way to put them back in? Do I need to put grease or oil on them prior to replacing? Can I check if they are in spec without having to bolt everything down and installing the cct? The only one...
So I'm finally getting around to checking the valves. Its been over due! The cam chain tensioner feels like it ratchets in and out smooth. So checking the valves I found that the intakes are in the middle of speck, but the exhausts are WAY tight.
Speck .13-.20 .23-.30...
I started it up today and thought I heard it for a bit and then I didn't hear it again. I didn't ride it around though.
The bike has probably around 40000 miles on it. I had crashed and rode it for about 4 years without a gauge cluster. I live in Gilbert AZ, it's not very cold yet, and have...
So it's been over a month since my bike has been ridden and the last thing I did was a TB sync. I took it for a quick spin and when I came home I heard a tapping noise, my wife says it sounds like a woodpecker in the engine. I'm going to check the valves but why would my motor sound like this...
