rzr Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 probably somewhat delayed, but i myself, am the proud owner of a 1988 yamaha fz600. now, with all due respect, my engine has cooling fins on it, the exhaust collars have coolig fins on it (forgive me if im mistaken, but that points towards air cooled), and shes stamped 2-HW. but i can see how people could get confused, as she does have an oil cooler, but surely the fact that there is no radiator cap, and that the pipes coming from the cooler go in around the oil filter etc kinda gives it away that its not water cooled. and if thats not enough to convince you try putting water in the crank case and see how long it lasts...id imagine not very long. however i do have an explanation why people seem so adamant that the fz600 is water cooled...they are getting the lump confused with the fzr 600, which is water cooled, no? anyway, you have a pm jim, re. some info on my a/c fz600 thanks, az Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
