oldschoolsdime92 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) Well I started in on the fz1 tonight. It has a kick in second gear. From what I have researched, thats typically the dogs, which also leads to a bent shift fork. So here we go. First the engine must come out. So far I have removed the tank, some of the air box, and started bagging and tagging all the parts. I didn't have a bunch of time tonight so I will post more pics as I go.

imprez55 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Need a late night hand Gimmie a call.I did this with a '94 zx6 a year back, it was pretty easy. The hardest part was getting the shift forks out of the crankcase for some reason. I only took maybe 2 pictures then, don't forget to take a bunch!

oldschoolsdime92 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 From the sounds of it, the worst part is going to be removing the flywheel, and actually getting the engine out of the motorcycle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschoolsdime92 Posted February 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) Thanks guys. I actually have purchased a donor engine, so I won't miss any ride time, and I can fix the transmission bits and not miss any ride time, and also take my time to make sure its done right. I have a tendency to rush sometimes, and I don't want to rush this. Heres the pics from today..Made big progress Edited February 26, 2012 by oldschoolsdime92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschoolsdime92 Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 It's def going to take three I think. While I'm working on the bike, I have some LSL rearsets on the bike, and I dislike them a lot. Does anyone have oem rearsets linkage and and brake and shifter levers?

oldschoolsdime92 Posted February 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Well I was hoping to be installing the donor engine over the weekend, but the seller apparently still hasn't shipped the engine. Bah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Sucks man, make sure he gives you tracking info asap when he does ship it - be a bigger pisser if the parcel company lost it and you have no number to chase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschoolsdime92 Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Yes I found the engine on ebay.I have never purchased an engine on ebay, and I was really uptight to do so this time. I've never purchased an engine that I was not removing from the donor vehicle myself. Snot, Its shipping from York PA. They supposedly are shipping the engine in the morning. I will keep you guys updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
