Head bearings and fork seals are easy to do, and with a Haynes manual and all the tools and parts ready it's hard to go wrong, my issue is no sooner do I fix something, something else breaks. I knew it was a doer upper when I got it but it's starting to get beyond a joke.
When I bought it , it hadn't started for 2 years.
It's had so far,
A full paint job, full service, new front brakes, pads and lines Also, a new battery, new r/r, new levers, new rear tyre, new front tyre, refurbed carbs, new choke cable, new fork seals, new head bearings, new water pump ( which I must say please becareful if you ever come to do one, don't tighten too much as the housing is paper thin and cracks!) new indicators and relay. So now it's looking relatively nice, and runs well, just this last ride completely drained my love for the damn thing.
My issue is I love a project, and end up wasting so much time and money into one it becomes too late to stop as its normally got too much invested.
Good look with the fzr. I had a lovely bike on the go last year. It was a 1986 gpz 600 r ninja with a rsv Mille front end and a Vfr 400 s/s swing arm. Changing job and having to move to London forced me to sell it just before. Completion. Heart breaking
