What to do with my 87 700 vfr

Will turn them around ASAP and will repair and run two others while I am at it so I will have two spare sets.

 

Update on ring job. I've got the engine back together, spun it just enough to get a compression reading. With just assembly lubrication, the 60 psi hole is now 165psi. Not the greastest but I can live with it. What can you use for off the car part store shelf oil in this bike? Got to go to work, so this is a short blog. More details later.

 

Carbs showed up yesterday, picked them up this morning as I was out in the field all day yesterday, will dig into them tonight when I get home.

 

FYI I put TOECUTTER in for Sainthood with the catholic church, They said that as soon as they had an opening they would fit him in.....

 

LOL..... Saint Toecutter.............. Patron Saint of broke ass bikes with broke ass owners...... hahahahahaha

The bowl seals are roasted and a bit of corrosion. The sync springs are missing on two of the carbs but I think I have two to spare.Cross over tubes look fine. Will clean and repair as needed and test Saturday morning and send back early next week. Work is kicking my ass currently but will make it happen.Oh....nice packageing job....could have suffered a nuke blast and been undamaged.Good looking out, two thumbs up!

 

Back from work (2nd shift sucks.) Tc, I bet the gas sniffing dog wouldn't of pick up a hint of gas off that package, you think? Their in pretty rough shape aren't they. Sorry, but the idiot that had the bike before me should of been charged with VFR abuse.. So what kind of cylinder psi would of been on this bike when it was new? I was thinking 180,that sound about right?

 

Your cylinder compression will likely go up after rings bed in ..........

 

Toecutter needs to do his two card tricks before the church will recognize!


I agree though, TC has been helping me source a part for the Ninja I have been working on and having work done to!

Got the carbs back together, too busy Friday to goof with them much but will make every effort to install and sync them this weekend. And yes they are a bit on the rough side, not much that can be done to improve the look, but who cares? Can't see them when its all together.

 

Yes, still have the cosworths, they need 700 rods, they are oversized, and I have the GSXR 750 rings that go in them.

 

Installed the carbs and ran them on Tex's bike , synced and on the way back to you early next week. They run perfect.

 

Got the power plant back in today. What a job by myself, but she's in. Waiting for the carbs., thank again TC. I'm going to put some Marvel mystery oil in the gas to give her a little more lub, good idea?

 

The carbs are on the way to you, shipping was $18.52. Enjoy!

 

He's an actual ruddy philanthropist is what he is !

Pay homage: offer him all your spare parts !!

 

Got you covered, sending it in another package for you. You enjoy...

 

Got my carbs back from TC today. Was going to tackle the job of putting them back in. Did some forum reading first, and thought about the boots, thinking that their probably original, hard and dry ,brittle. Got on the phone ordered some new ones. They are coming in Friday, so the suspense lingers on. TC, I've got something coming at you, keep a eye for it.

 

It's snowing today. Thinking about studding the tires, good idea?

 

Buy a 1984 to 1990 Ninja GPZ900R (a.k.a a zx900).

Parts are plentiful and its a classic.
