    Sourcing FZR400 Bits

    Post a list of exactly what you need... I have a boatload of parts from an 1989 FZR600 - surely some of the parts are the same.

    Tail light problems

    To calculate the correct resistor - just need to know what the OEM bulb was. Do not measure the bulb resistance - it will be wrong anyway as the filament resistance changes greatly with heat. Just need to know the type of bulb - common specs are avail online. For example - if your OEM bulbs...

    Clutch adjustment needed?

    Sorry, but you are wrong - good news is, that is indeed the correct operation of the motorcycle. Nothing is wrong with what you described - just ride and enjoy.

    Kimpex Oil Filter

    hard time? no - took about 2 minutes with vise grips - I spent more time taking the pics. Was it really worth it - yes.

    Kimpex Oil Filter

    It sits perfectly flat - just like the OEM adapter - only this one has 1.5mm pitch threads instead of 1.0mm pitch These pics ought to explain it. Removing the old one was a destructive process - as you can see.

    Kimpex Oil Filter

    Suzuki chose the fine thread - Suzi is 20 x 1.0 - Most others are 20 x 1.5 There is an adapter available - http://balestech.com/filter.htm - which converts most Suzi's to accept the better / more common filters. I have this installed on one of my Suzi's

    Electrical LED Signal Help Needed!

    I don't know about your 4 VS 14 problem, but what I do know is this. At 14.4 volts, a 5 ohm resistor will be dissipating 41.472 watts of heat. Even at a 50% duty cycle "flashing" it would still be literally at it's MAX if it's only a 20 watt resistor you are using. You are hooking the resistor...

    Noob Question about downshifting

    Yes. If the bike is traveling at a fixed known speed(60kph) in a fixed known gear(6th), the actual rpm will be fixed as well, not variable. (assuming your clutch is not slipping). If your tach is showing variable rpms, then your tach and/or the signal it's getting ain't right. Bad gas, big...

    Am I over lubing my chain ?

    That may be true, as it may penetrate te seals and dissolve whatever good lubricant you have behind the seals. WD-40 definitely won't hurt the o-rings though. http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=345397

    Noob Question about downshifting

    You mean to say that in the same gear, on day 60 kph is 4200rpm and another day, same speed/gear is 6000rpm?If so, I'd say you have either the worlds most non repeatable speedo, or most non repeatable tach. You can confirm or eliminate the speedo by riding with a GPS and confirm that the speedo...

    Noob Question about downshifting

    You seem to be sarcastic, I was not being sarcastic. There are only 2 variables to become familiar with to avoid your miss-shifting problem you described "trying to shift to 7th"Speed & RPM are the only 2 variables you need to familiarize yourself with while in 6th gear. Once you know the few...

    Earplugs, In-Ear Headphones or Other?

    Helmet speakers plus earplugs, great for all day comfort. Sure, the sound quality my be better with earbuds, but nothing is more comfortable IMO

    Noob Question about downshifting

    I thought you were saying you frequently locked the rear wheel in 6th. With more experience, you will be able to tell by the relationship between RPM & speed that you are already in top gear, this will avoid those times when you are searching for 7th.

    Noob Question about downshifting

    That's like saying. I don't try to pull a power wheelie on my Ninja 250. I wheelie responsively, all on straight ups.Good luck trying to sell either of those arguements in court.

    Noob Question about downshifting

    Under what circumstances are you "disengaged" in 6th? Why would you ever be coasting in 6th?
