Re: Exup valve servo motor question

The YZF750 EXUP servo has the same gears as the FZR1000 EXUP

The 98/99 R1 servo is the same as the YZF750 servo 👍

Re: Exup valve servo motor question

The Black widow pipes are straight through (no valve).

Re: The rebirth of a 1990 fzr1000

All looks good 👍

I’m an Aircraft Engineer, so I would always advise on the side of safety and/or not doing a job twice (if at all possible) 🤔🙏

Re: The rebirth of a 1990 fzr1000

The valves do stretch (in a way) they hammer themselves into the valve seat and deform which decreases clearance.
The centre valves are at a more acute angle and wear differently to the outside 2.

Clearances are first due at 16k mine at 16 were real tight.

When it gets hot they close right down , it loses power and is hard to start hot.

Go bigger clearance, it won’t rattle.

You can do the cams with the engine in the frame but, it’s fiddly.

Re: Infill panels repairer.

If you have all the bits, plastic weld, sand/polish or paint.
If not, plastic repair kit to fill the gaps, sand/polish or paint 👍

Re: The rebirth of a 1990 fzr1000

Get some feeler gauges that fit the centre valve.
One of yours is at 2 thou, one of the others may be 0, then it won’t start, have no power and you’ll have to do it again 👎

Re: Manual Cam chain tensioner procedure

Modifying your engine is wrought with pitfalls, if the website doesnt know that the original is a sprung rack design, I wouldn’t trust it.

Fit an original YZF750 one, they rev higher so must be better? I have one on my 1070 EXUP it it works just fine 👍

Re: At last I've managed to get here, again.

Very good Chris

My Exup is my classic back-up, incase my daily (2006 ZX12) is broken.

Just bought a 94 Zephyr 1100 in nice shape, doing some jobs on it before jetting back to Thailand.

If I could post pics I could. 🤔

I recommend retiring early 👍
