Valve shim clearance FZ600
I think you would need to contact Hindle themselves. I have an aftermarket one on mine and dyno'd it. The fuel was too rich so had the drop the needle. I did go up 1 jet size for the K&N filter though

Valve shim clearance FZ600
there's not just jets but drillings within float bowl. could be the seals on the butterfly throttle. start bike (eventually) and spray your easy start around the carbs and see if the revs rise, that'll tell you if you have any leaks. could also be water in fuel tank, mine had a shit load in so drained off. Also check filter not clogged with rust particles

Valve shim clearance FZ600
no idea what you mean by 1.1 etc intakes should be 0.11 - 0.15mm and exhaust 0.16 - 0.20mm cold I suspect carbs, they'll need stripping and vapour blasting then a thorough blasting with carb cleaner and air line. cold start device maybe blocked or letting in air I would suggest getting hold of a haynes or yamaha service manual, they are only £20 timing is set on these but you can advance them by dremel but as you are not even sure regarding valve clearences, i'd leave well alone. 1250rpm is the top idle speed adjustment so your ok there

just joined fzr750r genesis
nice bike can't help with the panels, I would post this in the classic section anyway, as this section for hello's brakes are ok if maintained, but blue spots are amazing brakes but you'll need matching master cylinder too

Tell spring has sproinged
I had a terrible day................................Not got up early this morning to brilliant sunshine. Feck it I say and put the clobber on and set off for fuel. Wanted to go somewhere afar so decided to go to Hawes and then the A59 caff near Skipton. trying out my Garmin sat nav too (bought £50 off facebook) Got on the Motodragway to Haslingden and then took the back roads over Pendle Ski p[lace and through Sawley into Giggleswick. didn't settle on Settle, but stretched the legs at the viaduct to take the air and sights trying out my new Helmet, its noisy so wore some new ear plugs from Alpine called motosafe. two sets, one for racing the other for touring. Quite good too and a little pouch and applicator for £20 delivered had be Latte and pastie in Hawes caff and rode east via Aysgarth, Kidstones (very pretty) and a quick shufty through Starbotton, Grassinton and onto the A59 to the Caff A TDM900 rolled up we had a chin wag for half hour about usual stuff he wants to sell it but he's mad, too nice a bike and he's a tall chap and suits the bike. Got home via rivvy Barn about 4pm so 8 hours away, brill day out Drewps
