- It's been a long journey. Will a motorcycle that hasn't run for 20 years finally come to life? Or will there be another gremlin to address on this restoration? Watch to find out!

Yep brings back memories. My first bike. Mine had troubles with the pickup coils every once in a while. Getting the carbs all happy was a bit of a pain. Had a F1 exhaust on it. Always loved the double lights and since then I just don't like anything with a single light. Weird I know.
Awesome just love the sound it's a sound only unique to the fz or the radian with has the same motor great job my friend love it
Is it ok if I share to Facebook
*it's aliiiveee*
that's awesome! i just finished watching the FZ series so far, found your channel today and i love it. i like your style, you're cool. now I'm gonna go binge watch the rest of your videos, goodbye have a nice day take care stay chill!
Hahaha! Thank you! That's a great compliment! I really appreciate it... Very humbling to read 🙏🙏👍👍👍🤘🤘
Well done sir! Sounds like you've done a great job on the crab clean - it responds and idles really well....its great that you have saved another beautiful FZ....
Thanks! Still got a lot to get to but super excited to hear it fire up and run as nice as it did.
Sub'd! BTW 😁😁
Hey man! Just found your video. I live in Rathdrum ID not far from you. Maybe 5 miles away. I bought a 1987 fz600 and the wiring is a nightmare! Would love to pick your brain about it.
Thanks for all your time. Been following these videos for when I pick a basket-FZ up next week. Seems you haven't made a follow up for about a year? Did you get it on the road, track...?
After I got it running a guy locally had messaged me on here needing help with his. Turned out we lived about 4 miles apart and I offered to sell it to him. I think he's got two running FZ600s now. One with fairings and one without.
These videos are awesome! I can’t believe I never came across these. I have an 88 FZ600 that I’m cleaning up right now. I’ve had it for 10 years and I love it! Can you give me some info on the air intakes you used, size…any jetting changes…or just bolt on…etc… And a few years ago I snapped off one of the ends for the float pin while trying to get a stuck one out … ended up with a new (used) carb bank so I felt your pain. I wish I was smart enough to drill the stuck one out 😏
Glad ya found the vids! As for the filters, the stock airbox was not in great shape (I always try to start from stock to get a baseline before modifying air/fuel mixture). I used some K&N's that my customer had in a box of parts so not exactly sure which ones they were. Jetting I didn't increase size a bit just for the increased airflow. Half up on pilot and 1 full up on main I think. I didn't go stage 2 dynojet because of the stock exhaust being used....stock won't breath quite as well as full aftermarket system so didn't seem fitting to open up the jets that big. I did play with needle height and mixture screws as well as bench synced the carbs before installing.
Thank you!!!!!
Hi from the UK , just at watching the FZ ( zee or Zed ? 😂) Thinking of finding me one of these to restore , rode one back in 1988 and remember how well these little Yams handled , looking forward to seeing your next installment , be safe , Matt
Hey Matt! Thanks for the comment! I guess I should actually get back to working on the thing then eh? It's been pretty cold here in North Idaho so I haven't been spending a lot of time in the garage. Cheers mate! Thanks for subscribing!
Just bought an 88 FZ 600 first bike, love watching your videos can't wait to slowly get it back to original, once I find lower fairings
Can't wait to see more videos of the FZ!!!
Hey man I got the same bike and im having troubles starting it, we tried the putting gas in the carbs and all that hut idk.
I just got a 87 fz600. Currently putting it back together. Question for some reason it has fz750 ignition coils should i remove these and order the oem coils?
You can double check the part numbers for each. They very well might be the same. If they are, you're good.
When you will assembly the 03-04 zx6r engine?
In March of 2019 ;)
It's been running track days at Buttonwillow Raceway all summer. You can follow along with the bike on IG @636insta
what happened to project 900??
My bike doesn’t start when I press the start button but it does start when I put a positive and negative to the starter
More than likely the starter switch is dirty, starter relay is not working properly, or clutch or kickstand switch is defective.
I have a 1987 Yamaha fz600 and it doesn’t have spark. I think it’s the wiring
Definitely not the stator. That's charging system... Not starting.
What happen with the 0304 636 ?
The bike has been out having a good time since she went back together. Owner has been doing a few track days this year. Here's his Instagram if you care to follow him. 👍

No. Totally different circuit.
I have one on 1988 Yamaha fz 600 but can't get it to start

Hey neighbor! Yeah man... Always open to brain pickin...
@@MotoMedic is there a chance I could meet up with ya in person? The guy who rewired this 600 just made a mess! Lol. It's a nightmare! Wires and fuses everywhere!
@@MtnFghtr We could probably do that. I'm pretty busy this week and over the weekend but might have some time next week. Best way to reach me is DM me on IG @1motomedic
