I'm having fun creating content about stuff I like doing. That includes motorcycles (working on and riding), 3D printing and flying the drone around. Quick note about my channel icon, that's a picture captured of my son and I many years ago when setting up a new computer. I don't want to loose it, so I'm not changing it!
AQI 170s from 400 feet
Notice the limited range of visibility. Surely not as bad as when AQI was over 350 this morning.

My move from armchair machinist to hobby machinist. I can't wait to make chips, but I must reassemble this lathe and clean up a few things in the process. Would love some expert advice!

We just got a good deal on this camper and delivered it to the property. Still needs hookups so we can start using it. Ultimately, we have plans to make improvements to the property and build a permanent structure down the road.

We're about to get a storm and it's very foggy this morning. After I landed, I noticed lots of drops of water under the props!

Ciao hai montato le pinze della r1 2002 ? Vanno bene per attacco originale? Devi fare modifica attacco oppure plug e play
They were plug-n-play, but you'll want to upgrade the master cylinder as well to get good brake feel.
We're did you get a crank sensor
I don't think I did. Was that mentioned in the video? I often get parts online. Babbits or eBay
Did you have issues with sticky throttle when reassembling the carbs? As soon as i start to tighten the two long bolts that go through the rack, everything starts to bind.
Hi, I didn't notice in your video if you tightened the boots after setting the carbs. Did I miss it?
I remember tightening those screws, and I changed them to socket head cap screws so I could use a ball-end Allen wrench. Some of the angles can be tricky.
Thanks for the video David! I'm restoring a near complete '87. It sat for a long time (guessing 10 - 15 years) outside but it's nearly all original. It took a number of attempts for me to get all 4 carbs back to life but I got it running and the sound is just amazing. I had a FJ1100 back in 84 and the sound is similar but there's just something about the sound of the FZR that is just magical. It's pretty obvious Yamaha started out making musical instruments.
Good score. I look forward to a demonstration. You have many sought after accessories.
I replaced the Y axis rods with linear bearings. My prints are way better now
cut and bend ..
Would you happen to know the part number from where you order the throtle shaft seals and o rings
Sorry forgot to mention but I'm redoing the carbrators
I'm in the process of redoing my 1999 fzr 1000. Would you happen to a the part numbers of the shaft seals and o rings. I checked out the website you mentioned but seemed confusing. Thanks Greg
Here's a PDF of my parts spreadsheet. Hope this helps: drive.google.com/file/d/14xeDjO_4fif18qk5Dzo15uf5zGKAzTOk/view?usp=share_link
May i ask, What Cura settings do you have? I print my Anet A8 at 0.15 layer height, and 50mm/s print speed.. and honestly.. Its not the best quality print...
Gotta get an extra and cut it in half.
I bought 4 so I could cut any of them!
@@dakavanagh Score, I was recently trying to figure the same issue, South Bend wrenches were so high and a strike wrench is outrageous. Just did what you did.
HELLO !!! WE DONT SEE THE DETAILS BECAUSE OF CAMERA. !!! FROM GREECE !!!
What wrenches and or sockets did you use? Whitworth or?
This was my first show ever in my life. Was so awesome to see my favorite band.
Your original brakes are better. I've had FZR 1000's from the Genesis to the thunderace, an 99 R1, Xjr 1200, and I'm puting on the Sumitomo calipers with the Geness style master cilinders on my current bikes. My experience shows that if in perfect condition, these work best. And IMO they also look best, especially the cast master cylinders.
The feel of the stock brakes can be improved with a larger master cylinder and that is part of what I've done on mine. I've also shed some weight by switching out the calipers, so 2 wins in my book. Of course YMMV.
@@dakavanagh By larger master cylinder you mean larger diameter piston right? Doent that decrease the force on the pads? i.e. you need to squeeze more for the same effect? What is the advantage? More "feel"? Less travel distance for the brake lever?
Im dealing with my brakes today, I have 10 eized calipers in the oven with 36 pistons in total lol. Im debating what brakes to rebuild. All of them are 4 pot and 6 pot Sumimotos. I have a pair of blue pots that are probably in better condition and I'm not even bothering with them. I never liked the way they feel and I don't know why. Like I said the best combo I've experienced is 4 pot Sumimotos with the master cylinder with the cast trapezoid fluid reservoir from the '88 FZR Genesis. The ones from the Exup are the same calipers with a different master cylinder, they didn't feel as good, and the ones from the tunderace are blue pots, with a brembo master cylinder, if I remember correctly, and they felt worst of all. I'm planning on using the Trapezoid master cyl with 6 pot Sumimoto calipers from a '94 foxeye FZR. What are your thougts on the subject? I've never dealth with brakes before other than changing out pads.
PS Sorry if my comment came off as a bit abnoxious, I didn't mean it that way.
@@bobby89bobbyAb no worries. just conversing here.
Is this the last video? What's going on with the Beeza?
My wife keeps asking also. I'll get back to it soon!
That is very nice and likely has wear on the low end (of the spectrum of wear) for a lathe that age. The face on the V-way that faces you is not the critical face. The force of machining pushes on the face away from you. Look for scraping and/or a ridge on the back side.
Thanks! I checked the back face and there is no perceivable lip worn there either, just no flaking. I'll certainly get this together with new felts and proper way-oil.
Hi David - Can you provide the model number of the gold spots?
I often look stuff like this on partzilla. They will show you other models that have that part, which helps when shopping ebay or other places. I know mine came from a 2002 R1, so I looked up the part for that bike. Here are the links for the left and right caliper assemblies. www.partzilla.com/product/yamaha/5PW-2580T-00-00?ref=50bfbdd44fd9140b6b64fcf1fed12ae7ae8ff631 www.partzilla.com/product/yamaha/5PW-2580U-00-00?ref=50bfbdd44fd9140b6b64fcf1fed12ae7ae8ff631
Nice work 👌 question dude I have 1992 fzr 1000 just wondering what’s the battery voltage should be as I measured and it’s between 14 and 15v is it correct ?
where did you buy the carburetor
These came on the bike.
Hey, Do you use Cura? If u do, can you make a video of settings for Anet A8?
Music RUINED the sound
Perhaps not a great choice. At speed, the wind noise takes over.
I have the same model, bought new in '68, sold it, it changed hands twice, and now I got it back! Also a rusted up crusty barn stored project. Engine turns over and has compression. We need to keep in touch and compare notes!
Haven't seen an XJ550 in years. The ones sold here in NZ had twin front discs.
Outside the US, they had twin disks and an oil cooler.
@@dakavanagh Ok, didnt even notice it didnt have a cooler.:-)
One of the best things i ever invested in for working on my 80s bikes was an ultrasonic cleaning bath, so many times ive cured a rough running bike by giving the carbs a good clean in the Ultrasonic bath, and some new (stock sized) jets. The difference from cleaning them by hand and the bath, is night and day. They are reasonably priced too, and useful for so much other stuff as well.
I got an ultrasonic cleaner and ran the cabs through it last year. I feel like I still have a vacuum leak, but I know the carbs are totally clean and all the seals are fresh.
they make the best snow forts.
how nice, mine looks and prints like shit. The extruder stepper sometimes doesn't even move for some reason.
Sorry yours isn't working so well. When a stepper isn't moving properly, it could be wiring or the driver on the board. With the control panel, can you command the extruder to move both directions while you check the wiring? There's a facebook group? facebook.com/groups/1068531466501015
@@dakavanagh i'll look forward to it.
Thanks for the video. I’m in the process of doing a similar conversion. 👍🏼👍🏼
Hi Dave getting the 02 gold spot calipers with pads,, going to RR Front rotors but I need to know the gold calipers will fit over the OEM rotors or buy 02 rotors thank you
I still have the stock rotors and they work fine!
@@dakavanagh thank you for your time David👍
Awesome bike 😎
Hi Dave love the video! I like to know are the gold spots better than the blue spots and what’s the difference between them. Love to do brake upgrade
Hi Angelo, thanks for the compliments! In a nutshell, the gold spots are lighter because they have alloy pistons. This link talks about options in a little more detail: www.exup1000.co.uk/tech_info_area/spots.htm
@@dakavanagh I am actually enjoying your videos I am a new FZR 1000 owner and every little info counts thanks for doing this. 👍 also do I need to change the master cylinder if I change the calipers
@@angelomiranda4361 It helps to change the master cylinder to improve brake feel. I've heard even with the stock calipers that upgrading the MC will help with brake feel since the larger MC pushes more fluid.
Hi Dave one more thing lol 😂 what year should I look for the YZF R1 Calipers and MC for this conversion thanks 🙏
@@angelomiranda4361 Around 2001-2002 are the right years. I also googled for pictures of those bikes and saw they had the right calipers on them. I also used www.yamahapartshouse.com/ to look up specific part numbers for things like brake pads.
Really good to see this David. I’m doing the Blue Spot conversion on mine shortly so seeing the process is very handy 👍🏻
That's all I can hope for, being helpful with my videos.
Hello! Would you mind if we use it in compilation? Full credited of course
Thanks for posting removing the tank, I had no clue of how to do it. I wanted to replace the insulating rubbers under the tank which I can do now, as soon as they arrive.
It's pretty funny because I had no clue at first either!
@@dakavanagh Thanks again for your help
You would think removing the tank would be in the Workshop Manual, but it isn't
This modification is on my bucket list.
Can you use a rivnut?
Oh, possibly. I'd have to make a larger hole in the casting, which I'm hesitant to do. I haven't counted, but it seems like at least 4 good threads in the aluminum. I'll use some blue loctite. It's not holding a lot of weight either.
hi David can you show where exactly the hoses from the carb tuner kit go in the carb ? you said there should be an allen bolt you took out and then inserted them...?
I knew I should have filmed it when I re-sync'd the carbs a couple weeks ago! Cylinder 1 and 4 are pretty easy to reach. 2 and 3, harder due to the water pipe.
Its about to blow ...
Trying to be nice but not knowing any better they became a worry. One day after dropping my daughter off at daycare I was headed to work and a car came around a blind turn, crossed over the double yellow and hit me on the driver side in a glancing blow. They had dropped their cell on the floor and took their eyes off the road to find it. When they hit me, it pushed me to the right, spun me, and I hit a motorcyclist that was stopped at the side road waiting to turn right. I say all that to say, I'd be worried about them getting rear ended and running into me. Like you said, bad drivers make riding a challenge.
I subscribed to your channel, btw
bought a 92 fzr 1000 from a friend. Needs some work (idles rough) but other than that it runs pretty good. Do you recommend doing repair work yourself or would you take it to a yamaha dealer? Im reasonably mechanically inclined but never worked on carbs before
This was my first carb cleaning. Not for the faint of heart, but certainly if you have the time to go through them carefully and not rush, very doable.
@@dakavanagh Got it. Im going to watch this series from the start so forgive me if I ask a question you already answered. Other than rebuilding the carbs and replacing the fuel sending unit, did you have to do much else to get the bike to a place you were happy with? Relatively anyway...we always find something we want to improve on our rides...
@@dnbanb My bike was in relatively good shape, so I replaced brake lines and tires (and recently, fuel lines). Some bikes have a rough life and it's hard to say exactly what you'll need. I'd say on any bike of this age, carbs will have old rubber parts that surely need replacement and then passages often get plugged and so I used ultrasonic cleaning and compressed air to blow things out.
@@dakavanagh Thats great info, thank you!
Sounds like the bike runs great! Nice work.
Thanks! I hope we get the MotoSocial events going again, it'd be great to see you again!
What year is your bike? Also, where did you get your carb rebuild kits?
very nice indeed 👍
I had one of these in the UK in 1969 with the red fibreglass tank and a fully chromed engine done by Gus Kuhn. It was awesome and is much missed!
Yes, I owned the same 1969 re,chrome and dunstall exhaust the sound incredible... I had to sel it prior to achieve the french military service in Germany.. To date, 50 years later, I own a tiger 2000 but I am dreaming about my spitfire mk4.....
Hello can you maybe send me a picture of the drawing where it shows how the carbs are assembled? I took my carbs apart because my FZR 1000 wasnt running well but now after installing new gaskets and jets and so in it pretty much doesnt run at all anymore. (It starts if i spray some brake cleaner in the carburator but then it quickly dies again after 5 seconds.)
Sadly this video ist too zoomed out for me to see how exactly you assembled the carbs. Else i might be able to see where i failed while reassembling mine.
There are a couple of places to look. I have the printed service manual. I think it's available online, I'll have to dig up a link. Another places is www.yamahapartshouse.com/oemparts/a/yam/50042f4ef8700209bc78a711/carburetor
Great stuff David, I’ve got some blue spots to go on mine too when I get that far. They’ll need some TLC first though!
