Hey guys,
i just got my first bike a fzr600 that i got for a nice price. It needs some work though. I'm really excited because i finally have a bike So far it needs a petcock and a starter relay.















more to come as the bike is in pieces in my garage already. What do you guys think of this as a starter bike? Do you think i'll have a good time with something so old?

 

sont mind the rusty rear swing arm, i sanded it and painted it flat black today.

 

The FZR's are great bikes. You will have lots of fun with this bike. Plus, spares are plentiful, as the bike was produced for an eon.

I see you have gear, so you are off to a good start.

MSF? Insurance?

As with all new-to-the-owner bikes, I suggest changing the oil, sprockets, chain, tires, and brake pads.

 

already changed the oil, tires are brand new, i might need chain and pads tho.. ill change em. Are these bikes that fast?

 

FZRs are fast enough.

I could not tell the tires were new. Is all that dirt and oil from your driveway?

 

Kickass. Be safe and have fun.

 

thats brake fluid from my ITR, im a pig. Some of it might be semen cuz im really happy to own a bike.

Quoted...because that's gross.

Brake fluid is pretty bad to get on the outside of your bike. Check to make sure it didn't get onto the brake pads (toss 'em if so) or rotors (clean 'em). And clean off the tire, too. But I'm sure you already knew that.

 

The break fluid is from the car, so there is no break fluid on the rotors or pads. I cant wait to drive this thing... its gonna be fun. What should i expect from this bike in terms of fun?

it's always fun, no matter the bike. trust me.



MSF?

btw, you "ride" a bike, "driving" is for cages

 

haha im a cager noob

 

Don't try to pull stupid **** if you've never ridden before. It's more fun to drive a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow.

A buddy of mine has a 92 with a headlight conversion. He has a sprocket kit (-1),intake, Yosh exhaust, timing kit, stg. 3 Jet Kit and a few odds and ends.

His suprised the hell out of me when I rode it. For being 14yrs old, it moved.

His is now udergoing repair due to some fairing damages caused by being a little to over-zealous on the rear brake.

A few good sites for parts and whatnot are:

damn, that zed got dumped. I dont plan on getting on this thing and taking off right away... If it pulls as hard as a 250 dirtbike then im more then happy... I dont know what to expect because i havent ridden any road bikes before... im excited and looking foward to the new experience and hobby... I haven popped my cherry yet.. bike virgin

 

Oh it will pull more then a 250 dirt bike for sure.

 

Looks good man. How much did you pay for the bike?

 

i paid ... "pm sent"

 

i got it all running, and rode it today for the first time. AWESOME is all i can say.

 

The first time riding a 600 was one of the best experiences ever for me.

 

i have no skill on it right now at all... i need a lot of practice. Im touchy on the brakes and gas on this bitch. But it seems to go like snot.
