Check the fuses, my gsxr 1000 blew a fuse on the track & it turned over, dash played up, lights worked etc, turned out to be as simple as the engine fuse!

Well it seems like I've fixed it.
The story is that when I bought the bike it was in a poor state & it had a few previous owners that were going to get it going but never did.
She came with a few box's of parts & strangely there was a new stsrter solenoid apart from the original on the bike.
So the ...

Hi all it's been a while
The issue is with a 94 ZXR 750, fully rebuilt a few years ago with all the old parts.
My electrical expertise is hopeless so I'm after some help before I waste $$ replacing parts.
I've been through 3 starter solenoids thinking they were faulty, she's always been a bit dodgy ...

There's always something new to learn, I've heard dad referring to a sticky valve giving a popping exhaust sound.
A spare engine, you've got the life!

Hi Jim,
Re the mis fire issue, check that the needles are on the correct grooves.
The GSXR we just got going had a bad misfire issue & we gave up on it & Jamie at Sportscycles at Gateshead found it, we had one needle out of the 4 higher than the rest & that was enough to do it. I was surprised, I ...

Hi Fifer, I just had to do mine as the little clutch shaft seal had died & was filling the clutch slave cylinder, it can only be replaced from within.
Its straight forward once you get everything out of the way, I think the side stand has to come off as well, don't forget to drain the oil first.
You ...

Think I'll just stick with the stock 16-44, there's plenty of poke down low as it is, I'd just get in trouble, it's easy enough to get the front wheel off the ground now !
The Factory pro kit is partly responsible for that.
Thanks, it was just when I checked on the site link above the first option ...

I'm due for new chain & sprockets too, why do they seem to recommend 13 - 38 sprockets ? Std is 16 - 44 which is what I,m running, ratios are similar at 2.9 & 2.8 respectively.
What do you guy's run ?

I'll put in my 2 bobs worth.
If it's the carbs, pull them off & clean them out, buy some carby cleaner & spray all the holes & jets just in case.
What comes to mind is maybe the choke is on a little bit, check the cable tension, if all that's good then there still may be a choke leak so block them ...

Thats good, dont worry about the looks, you know its all about the feel.
I've got solvent fizz & runs in the clear, some is half rubbed out & some not, the front upper fairing is still grey undercoat but underneath all the plastic its better than new, better than sex & I cant stop riding her long ...

By the way how did the engine go?

Hi Jim, I got all everything like that from Partzilla, all in OEM packets, no problems. Postage seems to be an issue these days out of the states, very expensive sometimes.

Nice Job, I'm jealous.
I've done up a 94 ZXR 750 & frustrated that I can't get those Chinese fairing sets, seems like they start at the ZX7R's, is that from 95 onwards ?
I know there are other fairing makers but none all painted & marked.
Unless anyone knows otherwise?

It's certainly got a nice sound, from what I can hear through the helmet.
Jim had a look & thought it was a full Hindle system ? It's certainly not stock as it's all stainless & very light weight.
I put a K&N inlet filter in & disconnected all the pollution gear, so there's a nice inlet noise now ...

The engine is perfect, just put a set of Factory pro jets & needles in her & also replaced the Pilot jets with 40#'s & oh so nice.
Paid a grand for her on ebay from a guy in Canberra.
Now it's warmed up I just have the fairings to paint & she'll be good enough for me.
She was worth all the work ...
