Hey Tony, great write up! What a fantastic time you must have had, off in your van, two track days, brilliant! Ok, so the bike has a few teething problems but considering all you have done to it, they are very small and you'll get them sorted easily. I really love this bike and glad you got to sample the fruits of your labours!
All the best Mouse

Wow! What a beauty! That looks like a really smart buy, looks to be in fantastic condition.
Never hear a bad word about these bikes and it is a lot of bike for the money (i'm guessing!).
Hope you get it going easily.

Looking good Alex, I don't mean to be a damp squib, but how are you going to get it out when finished??

Well, what a result! Since fitting the new 'MHP' end can, i have been wanting to know what improvements it had made to the FZ's power output. With the original 'supertrapp' can she was making 107rwhp and running very rich, not great and a bit disappointing if i'm honest. So back on the dyno with the 'MHP' can and...still very rich and 108rwhp, not exactly what i was hoping for! However Three hours of jetting and dynoning and...122rwhp and a really smooth curve, bingo! I'm over the moon! Pretty good for a 35 year old bike which Yamaha claimed had 135bhp at the crank. Top green line is with 'Supertrapp' Top blue line is with 'MHP' Top red line is 'MHP' plus jetting changes Mouse

As others have said, head and barrels look top notch, really love the cerakote finish, i think it is the best paint type option on engine parts. She is going to look lovely!

That is ridiculous re: Stafford, what a bloody shame, it could/would possibly win 'best in show'!

That looks great Alan, is it literally just plug and play, no extra wiring to do/cut make etc.? Mouse Yes simple change as the the unit has a cable with a H4 “plug” so that it plugs into the original lamp connector And you just connect the side with to the spade connection for the DRL halo (There are two spade connectors but you just used the one as the other is for making the halo go orange for indicators on a car) Best wishes Al Many thanks sir.

Couldn't work out why only Dovi and Espargaro were the only two in colour? Lightbulb moment, is it that they are the only two in the photo still in Moto GP? Although Dovi is just about to retire too. Mouse

How does it run with the 400's?
Have you tried it on a dyno?
I have a tuned 350YPVS with 31k carbs, pod filters and pipes and that is on 380's so i would say 280's are too small especially with no airbox. But i'm sure someone with more knowledge will be along soon.

I cannot believe i've had my current lid (Shoei X Spirit 3) for what will be in January, five years! I love it, best i've ever had and it's had a lot of use. So was starting to think of replacing it next year, they seem so expensive now, like everything! Anyway did a bit of shopping around for the best price and was slightly alarmed to find that what i wanted, medium in gloss black, was not that plentiful and was told by dealers that Shoei are going to cease production as the new version is coming, £700 plus! So, put a call in to Feridax the Shoei importer who confirmed, yes they are stopping production of the three and what is here is it! That brought forward my purchase as i really wanted another and happily i tracked one down and got it for £550, which i'm ok with, still a lot though! Mouse

That's interesting in the way that i've never seen that conversion done with a VJ21, usually a VJ22.

It is Lawson for sure with Kevin Schwantz on the Suzuki behind.

Managed to do a track evening at Brands last Thursday with 'No Limits'. I was on the reserve list and only found out i was going on the Wednesday morning! I awoke on Thursday morning at 3am to the most torrential downpour (after such a long dry spell!!) which continued until about 1pm. However i set off in the van and by the time i arrived it was dry with the occasional glimpse of sun. The 'Track day' had cancelled due to the rain which turned the circuit into a skating rink, however by the time the evening session was due it was bone dry, phew! Had a fantastic time, the FZ was superb, no ground clearance issues with the new pipe and she sailed through the noise test! Would really like to get one of the LC's on track but slightly wary about reliability, maybe next year? Mouse
