I have a 94 fzr600 that ive had for 27 years. 85,000 miles on it now. Had the valves adjusted for the first time around 75K miles, and the mechanic said it was barely worth it to do. Thing still runs good after all these years.
A friend stripped out the sprocket nut threads and was asking about replace the shaft... Your video just resumes and explain it all. Thank you ! Great work! 😎🤓
@@kylehawkins6595 This engine had the same issue. I suspect the idle jets are blocked. Be sure to clean them well. Use a magnifying glass to see if they are blocked. I is only a small hole. Check he video where I try o get this engine running. th-cam.com/video/kTfwqPMQ-ZE/w-d-xo.html Good luck.
@@shaughnbraddock4265 Cool idea... When I am now driving a fzr 600, I am feeling I am again 25 Years old.. Yeah.... And in the past I have the US. Modell, the 3HE... Great maschine, great time....
Congratulations, buddy! Very good video I also have a fzr I'm a mechanic and it's of great help to me, I've searched and there's no video of the montage right?
replaced the head gasket. After reassembling everything, I noticed a coolant leak near the far left spark plug. I can't pinpoint the exact source of the leak. Is there supposed to be a plug or fitting in the port to the left of the first spark plug? I've examined the area thoroughly but can't find where the coolant is leaking from."
There are plugs with a hex socket next to each spark plug. These close up the coolant area. Did you remove them, normally they should never be removed. That's probably the source of the leak.
I don't think it is possible to change the fork without splitting the case. And there is probably some damage on the gear too. Weaks spot for these engines it appears. I have another engine wit gearbox isssues I still have to open.
@@jh-tech5546 Thank you sir for the reply. I have the parts already but i might have to probably just source out a complete engine and just swap it out to save time. 🙂
@@jh-tech5546 The Fzr's seem like fun bikes. Im into the old R6's (carburetet). But the 400's 600's and 1000 Fzr's seem like nice bikes too. Never had one myself
I only need how to change head gasket 1991 fzr 600. I'm not a expert, but have done alot of work on it. Daughter telling me give up on that thing. Maybe, but one more time.... How hard? Have to pull engine out? any posts ?
Head gasket not hard to change, and can be done with the engine in the frame (I have done it like that). However, if you are doing much work then it might be worth dropping the engine out (it is relatively easy to drop the engine out, which gives you more room to work).
What about taking cams off, timing chain, Seems like not needed? simple version? If take all that off, how line up putting together? Says something about top dead center? I have lifter cover off Guess start with valves? I have the old engine that blew, still be able take that apart to see how put together?@@katywalker8322
@@timo5532 there is a mark on the ignition flywheel for top dead centre, which lines up with a mark on the crankcases.

Set valve clearances? I tore down, cleaned head. Got the dots on cam align, and tdc like you said. AL together, then noticed the cups for the valves in box.

@@timo5532 , have you removed the cam chain tensioner? This must be out to put the cams in. For the valve clearances. You measure them each (setting the engine to the specified position for each valve before checking them). Then check the size of the shim installed and work out what shim you need to replace them with to get the correct clearance. As you have changed the cam from the one in that engine the clearances are likely to be wrong (and if you have mixed up the shims and buckets, the clearances will be all over the place)

This is very thorough! I just bought a 96 fzr 600 and so far your vids are really helpful with my project restoration! Thank you
Thanks and have fun with your restoration.

be ware if your fzr is a 4jh variant its got diffrent internals to the 3he engines

Thank you. Have fun with your resto.
I love FZR 600 '94 by the way. Is on my list.
Amazing Job done, Congrats.
Thanks!
4-strokes and their gazillion parts
Yeah fun :) thx

Thank you. No video on the FZR 600 engine yet. The engine is still in pieces... I hope to assemble it this year
Tremendo trabajo
I can't get the carbs to seat back on. Usually slip right on. Is there something that typically that blocks the seating?
I suppose the inlet rubbers are too hard. You can try heating them or replace if you can find them. Good luck!

Awsome video.
How long did that take?
Not sure, around 1.5 hours I would guess.
Do you need to split the cases to replace shift fork or can you just remove the oil pan and clutch basket to repla e it? I have 2nd gear popping out.
I don't think it is possible to change the fork without splitting the case. And there is probably some damage on the gear too. Weaks spot for these engines it appears. I have another engine wit gearbox isssues I still have to open.

So whats the plan with this engine? I thought you said you will use it for parts on the fz750? But im guessing these parts wont fit
I have another FZR 600 with a broken gearbox. I will make an engine with the best parts of both. Will not fitt FZ 750 indeed.

Does the clutch basket have to come off for case split?
I think you can split the cases without removing the clutch basket. There is nothing behind holding the cases together like on some other engines.
I can take one apart but cant put it back together 😢😂
I need to repair the gearbox on my FZR 600 -94 but after seeing this video I feel that maybe it would just be easier to kill myself.
It is not that difficult. Just take your time...
With this video I was encouraged to change the cylinder gasket, a mechanic wanted to charge me 400 dollars to do it
De donde es el mecánico...tengo una 92.
Hola consulta podrías facilitar la inducción de cuantos ohmios debe medir el captor? Del encendido gracias!!!!
Hello, You mean the ignition pickup resistance I guess. I measured, it is 94,8 ohm on my part.
