My first knee-down | FZR 600 [Raw Onboard | HQ Sound]

  • A good friend of mine recently bought a Yamaha FZR 600. It's a real beauty with those round twin headlights and it has a gorgeous custom airbrush paintjob all over it. Otherwise it's totally stock. Apart from the blacked out windscreen, which is horrible, in my honest opinion. He allowed me to do my first ever knee-down practice with it and I have to say, once you get used to the speed through the corners and the grip of the tires it isn't all that hard. Tho, I still have to practice my hangoff a bit, so I can reliably get into a comfortable position that works well. The bike had a pretty old Bt014 up front so I still took it quite easy since I had no idea in what condition that front tire was and unfortunately I only had limited time on the bike (of which you can mostly see in this video), but it was still great fun.
    Bike:
    1990 Yamaha FZR 600 HE3
    Tires:
    Front - Bridgestone Bt014
    Rear - Bridgestone Bt016 Pro
    Exhaust:
    Stock

      I know this road really well and have spotted it before riding that day. And no animal dares out of the woods during day.

    I hear this bike makes some kind of a rattling noise at mid rpms, I have a 1990 FZR 600 and it makes the same noise. Is that common for these bikes?

    Very late comment, but looking at your hands it looks like you are not using the clutch. Is there some sort of quickshift? Coming from cars and new to the bike world, just picked up an fzr400/600

      It's clutchess shifting. look at his right hand. the moment you let go of the gas a little bit you can get in the next gear but have to be quick tho. also easier to do it when you're bit higher in the rev range and can also be used to downshift. it's compareble to a quickshifter because it also get the engine load of the trans to flick it in the next gear.
      welcome to the bike world. have fun riding and stay safe.

    How much Km are on the bike? Im thinking of get one next year!
    Are There any known problems of the bike? And im not Sure of get one with 40k+ km

    • @Toxie_Motor
      @Toxie_Motor  5 років тому +1

      I'm not sure, I think this exact bike has about 58k km.
      I don't know anything about known problems, it's owner doesn't ride much and he bought it after it hasn't run for years. Did an oil change and sprayed some brake cleaner in the intake after replacing the old fuel in the tank. It started right up. The fearings tend to become very easy to break tho because the plastics are old.

      Bit of an old reply but Incase you still were wondering the dogs from first to second wear out really easily from young aggressive riders slamming the bike into second from a hard launch and can't really be fixed with out a decent amount of work

    Gib doch der Karre mal, was sie wirklich will.
    Brutal runterschalten will sie sicher nicht. Was sie will, ist, deine gefahrene Drehzahl locker um noch 2-3 zu steigern. Dann brüllt das Ding erst richtig!

      Es ist übrigens okay die Kupplung beim Runterschalten mit Zwischengas "knallen" zu lassen. Sei froh, dass ich die Kupplung überhaupt benutzt habe.

      @@rem362 Yeah, it also has that awesome early '90s look that I really like. However, it's quite obvious it wasn't made for those modern tires, it runs out of ground clearance and proper damping fairly quickly, but I guess nothing that a set of rearsets and some new stiffer forksprings and oil couldn't take care of.
