Yamaha FZ description
1985 Yamaha FZ 750 Pure Sports with 13,254 original miles. Original condition purchased from the original owner. He had it in his garage for the last 13 years when I bought it. I cleaned out the carbs, the fuel tank and replaced the plugs.. I replaced the rear disc pads and the front brake master cylinder with original Yamaha parts. I rebuilt the clutch master cylinder and the slave cylinder. I replaced the chain with a Volar high performance black o-ring chain, the sprockets look good. It needs the chain cushion block that sits on the swing arm. I put a new battery in it. I replaced the right side mirror with an Emgo OEM as the original got snapped off. The bodywork is almost immaculate with a couple of scratches to be expected. The front tire was replaced at 12,700 miles with a Dunlop K 205 F on 11/13/1993 according to the logbook, looks good, and the rear tire is a Michelin140/70 V-18 that looks original and has some checking on the sidewall and will need to be replaced. I did not paint the cylinders or side plates. The are as they appear, original. The original title reads 7 miles on it and I have not transferred it to my name. It is signed off on and ready to transfer. The seat cover has a tear at the rear at the ending edge of the seat that is covered with a piece of black electrical tape. It does need a new gas cap which is $171.00 for an original which is still available but I have not replaced as yet. Everything works and it runs great. I cranked it up to about 70 on my street but have not really let it hang out due to no tags and that rear tire. I have no doubt it will fly when let loose. It will need new tags and an inspection sticker. The front windscreen has a 3 " vertical crack starting from the top of the screen going down. This bike is in excellent condition for its age and does merit serious consideration for a final restoration. A few items short (gas cap, seat cover that looks good now, rear tire, windscreen if you like, chain damper block) and some more detail work, and this bike will be restored. This is a NO RESERVE auction and you are welcome to come look at it if you are in the area. Please email with any questions or request for more pictures.
Please Note: I couldn't stand it so I put a brand new Michelin Activ 130/80 - 18 rear tire on it today. You can have the old Michelin if you want it, it doesn't look bad on the inside. I'm not raising the price so that's a freebie for you. I've attached 2 more pictures showing part of the clean undercarriage without the tire and then one with the new tire installed. The center stand needs to be taken off and repainted but we'll see. Now if I only had a new gas cap.

Lorenzo Signs Two-Year Extension with Yamaha
Thu, 07 Aug 2014Two-time MotoGP Champion Jorge Lorenzo has signed a contract extension with Yamaha to see him race on the company’s factory team through the 2016 season. The signing comes as no real surprise, following similar two-year contract extensions for teammate Valentino Rossi and Repsol Honda’s Marc Marquez and Dani Pedrosa. Ducati also confirmed it would field Andrea Dovizioso and Andrea Iannone next season, so unless Lorenzo wanted to spend a season or two developing Suzuki‘s or Aprilia‘s new prototypes, Lorenzo’s only option for a factory ride was to re-sign with Yamaha.
Stuck for a gift? Solution No3: Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki or Kawasaki merchandise
Fri, 09 Dec 2011After the excesses of KTM and Harley's gifts ranges, Hondas seems tame. But even the sober Japanese firm has a handful of oddities in its line-up. The Japanese have been accused of imitating in the past, and Honda's incorporation of a baby's dummy in its official accessories catalogue mimics KTM's 'Silencer-System Mini Pro'.
New: Venhill 888 fast-action twistgrips
Fri, 01 Mar 2013CONTROL specialist Venhill has launched its new 888 range of bike-specific fast action twistgrips. Supplied complete with the company's top of the range Featherlight cables, the kits are designed for a straightforward replacement of the factory-fitted equipment. Bike-specific kits are now available for the Honda CBR600F, Kawasaki ZX-6R/ZX-10R, Suzuki GSX-R600/750, Triumph 675 Daytona and Yamaha R1/R6, among others, with prices from £105. Here's Venhill's description of the new product: "Manufactured with a robust CNC machined alloy body, the 888 fast action twistgrip provides a choice of two settings and is supplied with two rotors so that riders can select the throttle action that best suits the riding conditions. Settings can be changed swiftly by undoing the two set screws securing the throttle body and changing the rotor. On the fastest setting there is 80° of rotation, (taking up 36mm of the cable), which is typically 45% faster than 'standard' throttles.
