Yamaha FZR600R... restoration complete and ready for the track!
A 1995 Yamaha FZR600R that I stripped down and rebuilt. It was my first ever restoration and I'm going to be mainly for track but still has an MoT.
The bike was stripped fully, all major components were powder coated. New bearings, shock, fork rebuild, various fixings.
The engine was a solid runner before the strip down. I did the valve clearances, fitted a full race system and replaced most gaskets after a respray of the engine covers. The carbs were sonically cleaned and rebuilt, new throttle/clutch cables were fitted too.
A great bike, super light and flickable.

Practicing my ride to blinds and throwing in some tail grabs as well. Bit to windy to try a railey to blind, but that's the ultimate aim!

this is my honda vfr400 nc30. i had stripped it down to fit a new push throttle cable, in the process a little excess fuel got in the system making pop and spit flames lol. plus thought there are not many good examples of the vfr V4 sound.

      I have factory fitted bar end mirrors on my new bike and have to say I do prefer them. They are still fairly inconspicuous. But like you say I feel with these new mirrors my focus doesn't have to leave the road by much or for as long.

      Yeah i know the comment is over 3 yeara old. But when you get a brand new mivv xcone, the baffel has a popnite in it. So you have to have metal drill to get it out. But the sound it makes... Is worth the effort

    • @ajpitkethly
      @ajpitkethly 8 років тому

      Honda did have some cam chain tensioner problems with the engines around this model year, so check for knocking noises from the right side of the engine. The down pipes and collets tend to be very susceptible to corrosion, get right up in there and give it a good check. Other than that aim for a good service history over lower milage and jobs a gooden. P.S if buying from a private seller dont let them rush you though it, if they are overly chatty its usually because they will be trying to get you to over look something.

    Hi Aaron. Your bike is mint. I have a hornet 2002 but it's no where near as clean as your bike. If you don't mind me asking how much did you pay for it? How's the new exhaust?

    • @ajpitkethly
      @ajpitkethly 9 років тому

      Thanks Lee. I paid at the time just shy of £3000 for it, that was pretty much 2 years ago. The same bike now I rekon with similar miles probably would set you back 2400-500. The Mivv X-cone is mentally loud, with no baffle it pops and cracks on the over run and sounds amazing!

      Hi, I bought myself a 5/4mm Mystic star. This is the budget model, navy and yellow is a hard colour to get(but the best looking one of the 3) so I had to order it in from Holland threw a UK shop. Super comfy, great stretch, warm and its only £139. For a winter wetsuit that's pretty good I thought. Thank you for watching aswell!

    • @ajpitkethly
      @ajpitkethly 9 років тому

      rfenables4 I don't have any old kites I'm afraid, but I would recommend buying second hand for your first ones. You will crash it a lot and possibly damage it, so you won't want a new one. Don't buy any kites older than 2009 as the safety systems prior to that year are not very good. Once you are kitted out and ready to hit the water, send me a message if you are heading to Hunstanton. :)
