It did this to me as well wanted stupid money for it said no thanks. Ok when they want to use your pics so I deleted everything downloaded back to my pc been using google to post pics now.

Right first off the machine FZ400R (46X) first registerd 1986 imported 1993. Currently on a 1987 plate (D) Good points virtually complete if exceedingly tatty well I have owned it for 8 years and the previous guy owned it for 2 years so it's been in my garden 10 years time flies. He left it as a box of bits after ripping it apart. He took the wheels and frame had them powder coated gold (don't know what possesed him) anyway ravages of time have put it that it needs doing again wheels are ok been stored in my shed on a shelf. Bad points forks pitted but can get them rechromed I have located fork seals. Rad is damaged but can be rebuilt by local rad specialist. Carb inlet rubbers perished found some on ebay new ones. Clocks show signs of impact clock case damaged but all there clocks themselves face glass has force marks in what looks like plexiglass anyone repaired these? Fairing panels mid and lower as much use as a choccy fireguard fz600 here I guess electrics are they the same as the 600? a few odd connectors near the clocks. Main bad point the motor the paint is shocking really needs repainting which leads me to the next problem I can't strip the motor as I can't find a gasket set anyone know where I may get one or other models that used that engine, yes I guess I could junk the motor find a 600 but then I am defeating the object of restoring it. I would like to keep it as a 400 so do I call it a day and sell parts or modify different front end change engine junk weight and see what I can up with. Sorry for the long post. Bit of searching again and found a genuine head gasket from another machine that used that engine briefly, just need a base gasket and a clutch cover gasket i can get away with the rest by making my own.

The frame number carries the infamous no parts anywhere 46X FZ400R.

Greetings all. A pic was asked for try this not sure i get it right but here goes. https://goo.gl/photos/RHk28vaV6i6nDnY8A Don't let the pic fool you it runs smokes a tadd but been standing years at least 10 outside under a tarp. This is 95% complete. any guesses as to what it is.

Just saying hello not new to forums or bikes, trained as bike mechanic when i left school back in the 80's currently doing up 2 machines only one is a Yam which after my mate ripped apart when he owned it forgot how to put it back together. The poor machine sat in my garden for the next 5 years untill he parted company and lightned my wallet by £200 quid and it's this machine i hope someone can help with (info) but for now greetings from the land of sheep North Wales.
