vic-fzr600 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Hi all. Was looking on ebay for parts for my 3HE FZR600. A vendor has what i'm looking for but says its for a 3TJ model. Whats the difference between these? Listing states the right year for my bike, but the Yamaha part number given for reference only starts 3TJ. All help greatly appreciated.

Moderator mervin Posted July 1, 2009 Moderator Share Posted July 1, 2009 Vic do you have a parts list for your bike ??? if so check that, but what happens is that yamaha change model designations every year but very often the old parts/part numbers are still used, and the updated parts get the new numbers some of the last 1970/80 Rd,s were still using parts fitted to the old YR5/DS7 in the engines and they had the same part numbers all the way through Merv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vic-fzr600 Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 Unfortunately I dont have a parts list. Its a voltage regulator i'm after (non-genuine from Taiwan). The seller has a list of bikes which it'll suit (apparently) including FZR600 1990-1993 which should include my 3HE. But then they list (for reference) the Yamaha part number which begins 3TJ. Am hopeful it'd be ok, but thought i'd ask for second opinion as unsure of 3TJ/3HE differences. Have bought genuine used ones off ebay before only for them to be wrong/broken.

The V8 that goes into the export defenders (non european) can SHARE parts with the original Stage one V8Land rover from the seventies. Even the Rover P6 come to that. And as for the body parts............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
