  1. i swapped my fz600 engine for a 91 version and had to use the correct ecu.

    it wouldn't start and there should was a very long (over 6month) fault finding escapade.
    It was down to 1 wire wittch tested ok, but failed when electricity was used.

    check your ecu number and google that, I may have one in my shed somewhere as I did the same thing.

    Wasn't until i bypassed the loom was the error found

    you never stop learning, i did my IAM course last year and was a 
    valuable experience.

    Always look as far as you can and reduce the hazards by speed and position. Communicate to other users you are there by changing position etc

    As they say be able to stop within the distance ahead of you and on your side of the road.

    hiya,

    yes, the inlet manifold clamps, 2 of the allen head screws that hold them are facing towards the frame, impossible to see let alone get to

    can you undo them at the engine side rather than carb side? I've modded/shortened allen keys just to do that.
    For my TDM i have to use a universal joint on a 1/4" drive socket adapter with extensions, absolute pain to do as i have to feel around and hope i have latched onto the screw

  4. usually for yams, its a whittled wooden dowel bashed down to lock inside the fork at its lowest point. Do a google search. also upturned bolt (don't know which size) welded to a rod.

    A quick spin on a drill could turned the bolt before the inner rod span.

    Considering the usual sort of price for these things, since you already have the engine apart, I'd personally just buy a new set and chuck them in...

    i agree then you can eliminate that.

    Double check valve timing too, been there done that

  6. i have done it but the doc carbs are different width, been a few years since i did them. had to weld a tab to connect up the carbs' butterfly 

    I had pods on too so guessed the jet sizes. think i used the original carb size for mains.
