numptydog Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Hello folksJust coming back to Motorcycling after a 25yr layoff, bit of a mid life crisis maybe.Bought myself a 1998 UK FZ750, only 25,000 miles, taxed and MOT. It's a runner, all original apart from wheels and brakes which are from a later Yamaha - can get better rubber, which is no bad thing.Anyway, not scared about fettling it, but would be handy to get a Haynes manual or the like if these things exist. Or available as download from somewhere? Any advice?One last (stupid?) question. Back in the day when this was new, we used to be able to buy unleaded. Would this machine required unleaded back then, and hence an additive nowadays?Looking forward to your help etc.BR,Julian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
