Brilliant RF9................thanks very much buddy!! Headers arrivethis morning too!!!

Hi guys, Wondered if anyone out there can tell me the length of the shock on my 89 fzr 1000?? or where best to find out?? thought i'd ask here before taking it out and checking!! Cheers...............Andi

Possibly! But didn't have the cash available and i like the look of the old school FZR!!

Hi again guys OK......i've ordered the headers for my FZR 1000, will let you all know how it runs once fitted!! Now, what i'm on for is suspension advice!! Can you tell me if there are any Yam forks that will slot straight in? What about rear shock?? I have an RSV Mille with K-tech front end and Wilbers racing shock at the rear which really highlights the age of the suspension on the Yam!!! Not looking for WSB spec stuff even just a more modern set up would be great! many thanks guys.......................

Excellent buddy...........thanks very much for all your help!! I'll get them ordered and whack them on...... Thanks again mate....................

rf9.......thanks very much!! I'm actually watching a set of headers from them and think i'll go for it!! £200 plus delivery. Can i also ask buddy.......when you say need setting up do you mean a dyno kit, dyno time etc..... i've only had one cardb'd bike and never fettled with it!! Got a PC111 and custom map on my Mille, fuel injected though so unsure where to start getting it sorted if it doesn't run sweet????? Thanks again mate........................Andi

Thanks again guys!! OK...... I've spoken to my mate Mark and basically it will need everthing bar the servo!!! but he reckons getting an aftermarket set of headers will remove the need for the exup valve and cure the low down "fluffyness"!! Is this the case?? If so.....i have a set of xjr headers available and wondered whether these could work????? Thanks again guys...........................

Very much appreciated Jim................Thanks alot buddy!!

That's great Jim........thanks once again!!

Ermmmm........I'm not sure as i've ridden the bike and it goes great?? The servo is still there and working but he has a stainless link pipe and can on the bike. It's a bit "fluffy" below 4k rpm but then pulls great! I'm no mechanic buddy so any info you can give will be greatly appreciated. Thanks again Jim Andi

Thanks Jim......thought it would be a long shot! Unfortunately, the original valve has been disposed of by the previous owner (my mate Mark!!) and so can't go down the repair route!!

Thanks buddy................

Firstly, hello everyone! This is my first post and already looking for somehelp.....sorry!! I am taking delivery of a 1989 FZR 1000 EXUP tomorrow (always wanted one!) and apart from the exup valve being seized it's really clean! So, to my first question.......where isbest place to find an EXUP valve (servo still fine)?? Also, would a FZR 400 valve work (as there seem to be a few of those about!!). Lastly,.....I've read the spec of the bike and it states the tyre sizes as front - 130/60/17 and rear 170/60/17. Can more commonly available tyre sizes fit....to get more choice?? Thanks very much all.........
