Gothy Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 hi guy's this is my first post, so Hello everyone nice to meet you all. Im interested in buying a yamaha FZR 1000 exup genesis 1989 / 90 model. Its done 15k miles, and is in good ish condition. Is this bike reliable? - will it start if I dont use it for a week. I've ridden it already and the power is amazing. Its good on insurance for me because its an old bike. Do they have any known major faults? or anything i should look out for in particular (im a trainee mechanic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 You should look out for the normal things such as smoke in the exhaust when reved, sprocket wear and chain wear, poor lights when switched on and steering head bearing wear. If the start motor turns over slowly its worn out and tyres and wheel alienment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fzrmad Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 hi,gothy,i have a 90 fzr 1000 ex up & they go like stink,if your conservetive on the throttle 120-140 miles,ride it like you stole it sub 80miles,i have done 160 on mine with more to go,happy riding. Hi gothy iv got two fzrs a 1989 fzr 750 and a 1990 1000 exup the only problems i have encountered with mine has been with the calipers. they need regular servicing iv owned the 750 for 4 years and all ive put on that is new c+s brake pads fresh oil every new biking season they are both very reliable machines and a joy to ride. hope this has helped you ride safe fzrmad :rolleyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
