Yamaha FZR 750 RU description

Up for sale is a 1988 FZR750 RU 
It has a 1987 1000cc engine in it, put in by previous owner
Mileage of engine unknown, my estimate, based on condition is around 10-15 K.
My stated 500 is what I put on bike since I did the valve job.
Please note: some pics show the bike with e.g. missing turns etc. Because they were taken before I put them on.

Bike is complete with all fairings and parts, even has the rare passenger seat cover.
The right side fairing is missing the FZR sticker which is on order, as well as the "yamaha" stickers that go at the bottom.

What I have done since I've owned the bike:
Put in correct carbs (previous owner did not upgrade to correct sized carbs after changing engine)
Cleaned carbs, color tune, carb sync
Valve clearance adjustment and replaced with new shims to be in spec again
New wheel bearings
New tires
New sprockets
New chain
Cleaned inside of the tank, looks like new.

Found all original fairings with original paint, covers and ducts to complete the bike
I changed oil and filters twice within 500 miles to clean up engine
Replaced all fluids (clutch, brakes, forks, coolant)
Side fairings are covered with heat shield
No leaks whatsoever

Bike runs great, shifts smoothly, everything works. Bike has inspection and is on the street

Unfortunately only one key, but it operates ignition, tank and seat. The helmet lock requires a second key.

The bad: there is a small crack in the right side rear cover which I will fix with high performance glue. Minor paint chips here and there.
No other issues.
Tank has some minor defects in paint, as pictured, but it's a 28 year old bike and I wanted to keep it original. No dents, just two very small dings on top. Can be seen in pic as well.

Clear title in hand and in my name
Pickup only, but willing to work with your shipping company.
Bike and title do not leave my house until money is in my bank account.

Edit: I have a spare set of fairings (nose, side panels, rear side covers) that I will give with the bike. Need a paintjob but are otherwise in good condition.

Yamalube Motor Oil Video is Educational, British, and Brainwashing

Tue, 16 Jun 2009

Yamaha Motor Europe have just posted a new video up on Youtube about their Yamalube motor oil and why you should use it on your Yamaha products.  They are pretty damn convincing or very good at brainwashing! The video is pretty educational, explaining how motorcycle engines and car engines are very different, what a motorcycle engine really needs, and why Yamalube is very well suited for the job. Various graphs, charts, shots of scientists making oil, and the accented British narrator have further convinced me that I need to get Yamalube and perhaps even be adding it into my morning bowl of cereal.

Mystic Mac's 2014 MotoGP predictions

Thu, 06 Feb 2014

There is no real off season in Moto GP.  Although we complain about being starved of racing, for those at the sharp end, in little more than two months they have new bikes to assemble, team staff to put in place and sponsors to nail down that will pay for it all.  This time frame is also tight for riders, as it seems more every year go straight under the surgeon’s knife after the last round and spend the short winter recuperating for the season ahead. The 2014 Moto GP championship looks like a cracker as apart from the ten full factory riders we now have at least eight non factory riders with properly competitive machinery.  We also have five Brits on the grid, two with podium potential.  Whatever happens though (providing you have BT Sport) you can just sit back and enjoy watching the incredible Marc Marquez do things that shouldn’t be possible. Speaking of whom, I didn’t believe a Rossi replacement would come this soon.  And when I say replacement, I mean a rider that is the full package.  Although in some ways quite different to Vale, he’s an equally phenomenal talent plus a very likeable character that appeals to the masses and although respectful to his rivals off track, deadly competitive in the heat of battle.  Being young and good looking he’s obviously a dream for sponsors and the sport in general.  Marquez has evolved in his own way but thankfully into a perfect replacement for our sport when the VR steps down.
