Wow, that brings back some memories. I bought an 'N' reg model new from George White in Swindon. The colour scheme with the deep red is amazing, what a great job you have done. I wish I had the skills to do this.
So good to see you restored to standard and didnt hack it with some shitty R6 bodywork or something like that. The factory Yamahas are beautiful and are becoming quite collectible. Beautiful job.
Got to celebrate the bike as it came out the factory. I wasn't happy about having to change the EXUP exhaust but the headers were rotten. I've still got the original exhaust though and looking at a specialist fabricator to repair them.
@@MarkReynoldsRestorations Im building an fzr400 1989 with 89 fzr600 motor fairing and electrics. Im almost done mocking it and its going to look standard except for a loud exhaust and R6 brakes, cant wait to finish it and maybe ill put it up on YT
The zinc plating I had done at my local platers in Redditch Worcestershire. It's called Redditch Electo Plating. The carb balancer is called vacummate.
Nice movie!! I am Japanese, and I have same motorcycle. So, tell me please. Stock exhaust is painted black. Do you remove paint, or replace optional part? Sorry, my English is broken.
Better English than my Japanese 👍. Unfortunately the original EXUP exhaust was badly corroded and beyond repair so I fitted an aftermarket Black Widow exhaust.
@@MarkReynoldsRestorations I 'm glad your answer. I want to know "aftermarket Black Widow exhaust". Where did you buy this one? And I am worried about insulator, between engine, and carburetor.This parts are sold out. So, I glued broken this parts, by epoxy adhesive.This is not good. I think, you have same worry about insulator, don't you? Thank you.「3TJ FZR400RR」is one of the beautiful motorcycle, I think.
Black Widow is a UK company. This is their website. www.blackwidowexhausts.co.uk/ Have a look on www.cmsnl.com/yamaha-fzr400rr-1992-4dx1-europe-224dx-300e1_model38067/partslist/0011.html for carb rubbers. Not ideal being glued.
@@MarkReynoldsRestorations Thank you so much.I accessed URL what you write,but sadly "JOINT, CARBURETOR" are sold out. Take care of this machine, each other.This motorcycle is precious one!! Thank you.
@@MarkReynoldsRestorations What did you do with Engine Cylinder before installing new piston kits? did you bore it or installed new sleeves before putting new pistons?
I hate it. Was the owner of an -86 Japanese import Fzr400R and thats exactly how they should be: An -86. Only an unrestored survivor will make me pay up to own one again.
That's a beautifully done restoration. The attention to detail. The FZR looks so clean!
I very nearly purchased this exact bike some time back...Wow, am I kicking myself now for not going through with it. #Muppet . Stunning machine
They are great little bikes, definitely becoming a collectors bike.
Whoah! Beautifull restoration! Such nice those 400rr's. Nice workshop too :)
Thank you 😊. Great to see it back on the road.

It's a great colour, really stands out.
It may not be my machine, but my first 400cc was this color FZR. It was a memorable machine that I went touring in Hokkaido for two months.
♥️
Excellent job! My FZR 1000 is running great and I ride it often, but I will not be happy until I restore it to the original paint scheme.
Beautifully restored 😉👍🏼
Thank you. This was one of my first builds.
this is AWESOME!!
Love seeing the paintwork. Very labour intensive tho. Done a few myself.
Check out my other video i posted on the NC30 paintwork process.
Wow.
Awesome work
damn amazing super idol bike sir . beautiful looks like new 😍😍
Great paintwork.
Nice job again, garage looking a bit crowded , remember I can give VFR a good home😀😀
🤣 I did this bike before the VFR. Still not for sale 🤣
That's abeautifull rebuild! Congrats!
Thank you. I find it very therapeutic working on them and even more rewarding seeing them back in their former glory.

Do i may ask, where you got those stickers from? Wish i knew someone who could my bike just as you. The end result is stunning 👌
I Had them made up by a guy i know who makes stickers.
There are proper sticker kits you can get now though. Try www.bike-stickers.com/homepage.htm

Job well done, look like fresh from the factory, what year is the bike?
It's a 1992 👍
@@MarkReynoldsRestorations have a plan to change the look?
Hi Mark I’m currently doing up a Yamaha FZR250R and the colour is exactly the same as yours do you have the colour code for the red please ?
Yamaha 306 Red Metallic. 👍

Where to get parts from? I am getting a chance to buy model 1992 but am hesitant due to parts unavailability.
Most parts were refurbished, any gaskets, bearings fittings etc needed i either used

Hi. Which oil Di you use? Synthetic or mineral?
I always go for semi synthetic.
@@MarkReynoldsRestorations you know a place i could get good carbs for it? I've searched but i can't find them
@@3v1k1 you could try JTR_nc30 on Instagram. He rebuilds carbs and might have some contacts.

Great work I’m just about to buy back my exact same bike as that ... after 4 years lol .. did you do all the work yourself
Yes did it all myself apart from the powder coating and zinc plating. I'm a painter by trade so that was my favourite bit.
@@MarkReynoldsRestorations how much do you think it cost to do the whole thing bud
@@clemfandango7175 just under £2000 with the paintwork.
@@MarkReynoldsRestorations looks brilliant if thanks for the reply
Iv just got mine back and wana do the same but I have no idea how too
@@MarkReynoldsRestorations would you be interested in restoring a GSXR400 GK76 or another VFR400?
У меня тоже Fzr 400руки как-то не доходят , да и времени нет, стоит пылится , иногда завожу. Если кому-то надо могу продать за 150 т.р.
