I have no idea how many miles are on it! The bike has 36k (I think) but the engine was swapped before I bought the bike. I have the originalt,...
I also relize that the damage is most likely from the springs, and that was the intent of this thread, I just got sidetracked with getting the...
I am aware, as many others around here are, of the valve problems these bikes have. So, today I was going to replace the timing chain tensioner,...
A friend of mine has a 96 Yammy FZR600 that uses the same pump as my 500, other than the inlet and outlet are at a right angle.
