Hi guys. I dont suppose somebody has a 2002 (ish) DTR 125 frame they are up for selling? My frame is now twisted and i would rather buy a second hand one than have my frame jigged. Many regards

I think this has all the makings to become a pretty little street fighter! lol So if anyone could help me out on locating some bits and bobs? 1) Yolk &/or risers for the fighter bars 2) Full braided hose kit (bypassing front splitter) 3) Streetfighter headlight face 4) Rear hugger that will fit the fzr 400 1wg Regards If i think of anything else, ill shout! lol

im still lathering the frame with satin lol and plan on a full can of laquer

if that doent work then it could be your flasher unit. Take a trip over to halfords and get a " universal yamaha flasher unit" Pretty sure there £9 as i spotted one today whilst i was collecting some bits.

Take your valve cover off to expose the cams and chain. if you look at the end of the cams, you will see a little dot on the end. You will also see a dot on the carrage holding the cams in. Just rotate the engine via front sprocket to align both dots together. This is you default cam position.

shiney new ankle plates mmmmmm

Thanks for the kind remarks, i need all the encouragement i can get right now lol

ROUND 2

Just spent hours on the frame only for it to keep chipping lol. Ill remove it from sale and crack on again. Think ill just have to coat the frame mega thick lol and use vast amounts of laquer!! I basically just threw a wobbly lol

HAD ENOUGH! NOW FOR SALE! £250 WILL TAKE IT AWAY!! OR SWAP WHY NOPE, CHANGED MY MIND ding ding, round two!

to remove the swingarm has gotta be one of the easiest jobs to do lol. Just get some axle stands for the bike to hold it up so your engine aint sat on the deck! Remove rear wheel, dis-engage rear shock from frame or swingarm, then undo swingarm spindle, and she'll pop right out

Well after a cock up with the powder coating compnay deciding to try and charge me double what they quoted!! I have take a trip to good old halfords and purchased: Degreaser Fine sandpaper 2 satin black rattle cans 1 satin gold rattle can 2 enamel clear coat laquer rattle cans Fiberglass repair kit Hammerite rust remover Lets see what i can do with this lot lol

Bidding on an R6 swingarm now lol ebay

Thanks for the info, might just buy a 3he inc loom as frame is totally stripped at powder coaters lol

OFF TO THE POWDER COATERS WE GO!!! Frame, subframe, Swingarm = Satin black Yolks, Ankle guards, Clip ons, Wheels = Satin Gold And all for grand old price of £125 :P Ill get pics up after i clean down and remove tyres, then a pic of completed coating (decided against the tzr250 swingarm, as i dont want to change the handling in any way however small)

there is a drop down option for fzr400, does this mean R6 parts that will fit the fzr or just purely fzr400 parts?

yes plz

Guys could someone inform me as to what 600cc engines will fit into my 87 fzr400 1wg frame? kind of straight in kinda fit lol Regards Rory

Guys, could someone inform me as to what swingarms will fit on an 87 FZR400 1wg frame? Regards Rory

lol nothin will ever keep me out of mischief lol

if anyone has anything that i could benefit from with this project then please tell me what you got with a price, i need all the parts listed in post #2 Rory

Thanks for the welcome, and im sure i can manage to take regular pics of my progress for you all to look at and laugh

The plan is to replace the swingarm with a TZR250 swingarm, and get the frame and swingarm powder coated in satin black. Replace the tank with a YZF600r tank, R6 rear end, R1 forks, Satin gold wheels, yolks etc... twin exhaust unit instead of 4 to 1. YZF600r or FZR600 engine with gold casings and pro bolts, Gold braided hoses and calipers, gold wavey discs, new gold chain and sfinal drive sprocket. remove rear sets and use R6 race hump, new grips (old ones slightly fubard! lol) And hopefully!! the R6 race fairing (I STRESS HOPEFULLY) DREADING THAT MAMMOTH TASK!. all items marked in bold is what im after, so if you have summat and wanna sell, then gimme a shout

Hi guys, nice to see a house full of yammy nuts! A few days ago i noticed that my engine was seeping oil from a gasket, so after closer inspection, i decided to replace the engine for a 600. But as with everytging in my life! i have got to take it a step (or 12) further. And this was the result lol ILL KEEP A VIDEO DIARY GOING FROM START TO FINISH!! Rorybum ====== Day 1 ======
