The fluid shouldn't change as it heats up. If it does, it probably has moisure in it.

I've seen that bike on my last 2 visits to Williams Cycle. It's very nice, but frankly, everything is priced a bit high at that dealer, compared to private ads. They have a nice '86 Vmax and the guy hadn't priced it yet. Someone asked when I was there and the guy said "I haven't finished my...

I've scuffed them with emery paper to break the glaze. It won't change the shape.

Welcome.

Sorry, not that familiar with the FZR1000. If it got better when you let off some pressure, then perhaps the spooge hole in clutch master cylinder is plugged? It's a tiny hole in the bottom of the MC resevoir that lets the pressurized fluid back into the resevoir when you release the lever.

Hmmm....main jet is not in play at low RPM where you had trouble...might be more to the picture?

Pilot air jet is clear in the troublsome carb?

Congratulations, and welcome.

Slack at both ends of the clutch cable?

Welcome. In the US, the GT750 was nicknamed the "Water Buffalo". Same in Spain?

I use a thick 3/4" wide chisel to get the bearing off of the triple tree shaft. It acts as a wedge. For the races in the steering stem, I try to pound them out with a drift and chisels and misc tools. If they don't oblige, I cut them with a Dremel cutting wheel.....but it looks like you got...

Glad you are able to enjoy the Vmax again! Welcome.

Just as Firemedic was alluding.... As you open the butterfly valve (throttle), the air flow increases and it is supposed to draw more fuel to go with the faster air flow....yet it dies. I would drain each fuel bowl and see if they have the right amount of fuel and if the fuel is clean. If...

Super nice job.

My wife has cataract surgury upcoming this summer for both of her eyes, and she is terrified. Your story comes at the just the right time to calm her as best as possible. Thanks for sharing your experience Bill.

Peculiar that somone would make it into a suitable touring bike, yet it only has 3k miles.
