I just bought a 2002 off of my cousin. It had sat since 2005. Rebuilt the carbs, got a new gas tank and now it runs and rides decent. I watched your vids a lot during the process. Thank you!
Hey watched your video with the thundercat startup good job Im working on a 04 thundercat a basic basketcase front to back your video was incuriging thanks
Hey man my name Is Brendan I just bought a 1998 Yamaha Yzf600r 4 days ago it's salvaged title I wanna take it to the level 3 inspection to get it rebuilt and this video is helping alot
I would of added premium and opened each bowl to allow fresh fuel to run out for a tiny...instead of trying to burn your starter out. If no fuel came out..then tinker with the fuel pump. Once you rinsed the bowls and insured the float isn't stuck...then try and start
Mine b 4 I left to go bk to the uk was completely drained. I mean not even engine oil in it. I wend bk to Kashmir after 7 years. Yes that's write 7 years. Changed oil filter and added oil. Addid radiator flued. Added break flued. Addid a new battery from the uk. Dident change the fuel filter but added a good fuel not high octane. Guess what???? The bike started first press and sounded just like new. I still haven't run her for 4000 miles yet would you believe. Check it out on my channel .
So mines been sitting for a while. Put a new battery in it and it seemed to start properly and run but no I'm having issues with it starting, it turns over and theres no signs that lts in bad shape just won't start. I think it might be the spark plugs what do you guys wrekon
if anyone owns one of these bikes, could you help me figure out how you connect the spark coils to the engine.....i bought a stripped down engine and have no clue how the the spark system connects to this engine. any feedback is appreciated. thanks
Got a 06 & it sat 2 years in garage with gas in it (I didn't leave it in it) so took old gas out & put new in & like a dummy tried to start it (sucked all that gas that was in carbs up instead of draining it) now it runs & rides but don't run good at all & very hard to start the fuel pump does make a odd noise like a clicking sound I took 1 bowl off carb & to my suprise it was clean gas came out & has new fuel filter do you think pump could be the reason it running bad or are those carbs really gonna have to come off?
I need help with this exact model. My bike is stuck open at 4k rpm just screams. Ive had new boots and a new rebuild and a smoke test what should i try next
if you are blowing fuses that means there is a short before the power gets to the load (i.e. light bulb) trace the wires for that fuse and locate where they are exposed.
I just got mine started after a year, I did a complete service, she starts easy an revs well but as soon as I put it in gear an try to take off there's absolutely no acceleration, any ideas ??

More than likely it’s the carburetors unfortunately

Carb rebuild*
I have one but for some reason i keep blowing the 7.5 fuse. Help me please i broke down twice and had to be towed home fellas. Ideas?

Mohamed Ismail Did you clean the carburetors? Could possibly be dirty jets
@@MattsMotoWoRX yea man
Hey did you get it running?
Do you still have the bike? I just bought one just like yours!
White Hammeer Yes I still have the old girl
Are you from Colorado?
White Hammeer No Sir PA
How do you take the seat off I can’t get mine off
Left side of the bike there’s a key hole. It is for the helmet lock and to remove the seat latch
Does it have a tip over sensor or no ?
No
No
Do you still have it?
I still have it and I have some videos in the works stay tuned
Awesome man I just picked me one up also! I have a 2002 YAMAHA YZF-600R. It a little rough but runs good can't wait to see the videos!!!
Get that manky old lawnmower gas out of it you muppet no wonder it didn’t wanna start
