latenightcustom Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Hey guys and gals, I have this bike siting in the back of my shop. Its a 600cc 86 or 87 yamaha sport bike. What could it be? Where can I find information on the bike. There are no body panles or modle number. Is there a vin decoader because there is a Vin on the bike. There is only 13K on the bike but it has been sitting a long time and needs a ton off work. As of now it needs tires carbs body parts keys and a title LOL. What is the bike worth. Thanks Jordan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator YamaHead Posted February 28, 2006 Moderator Share Posted February 28, 2006 A good place to start might be........How many cylinders does it have? That should determine whether it's an FZ or an SRX BTW... to the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wierdo81 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Hi there mate, heres an idea. Take off a part that has a part number on it (eg. front or rear sprocket etc.) then take it to a motorcycle spares shop, (one that uses computers to order parts in) Ask for a replacement, and when they ask what model it's for, just tell them you bought a project bike and have no idea what it is. they will then type the part number in, and bob's yer uncle!. Just a thought anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latenightcustom Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 Hey every one I think its a 86 FZ 40HP and looked at it closer to day. It should be junked LOL but I love old sport bikes. I will be getting a title for it and want not but she will need a ton of parts. To start a list for Sh*ts and grins: Carbs, Cam cover and engin cover, brakes, Brakes master cyclinder, tires, plugs wires, Seats repaded... All the body panles, KEYS/starter switch, F+R turns signals, new grips, new wheel bearings and seals and Im sure much more... Things that will be done to restore/rebuild the bike other then whats in the list above, Every metal part will be polished or powdercoated, all fiberglass or plastic parts will be painted. Im thiking Flat Black with polished pegs and the lips of the rims... What do you think??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
