johnalpi Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 I have been looking at a 1000 upgrade to my YZF 750 for a while now. (The only thing stopping me is not having another bike to ride while it's off the road having a 1000cc injection!) My question is to those who have done this upgrade. What is the best FZR model to go with? Is one good for the engine and another good for the electrics? etc etc... Thanks guys, John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cterror Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 the best solution would be to upgrade to yzf1000r engine,electrics and throthle with TPS. y98 -> but if you plan to go with the fzr engine, then anything between years 91-95. the 89-90 engines and electrics will work, but the older fizzer uses oilcooler while the newer one uses similar kind of waterbased oilcooling than your yzf750. if you go with the older one be prepaired to do some HEAVY plumbing in order to get everything aboard. my yzf750sp -93 has an 95mod fzr 1040 engine and works swell... after wisecos... be shure that the engine you plan to work with does not consume oil. or buy one that does (cheap!) and put wisecos/je-pistons kit in it.
