Some interesting facts about the FZR600-- it was a best seller for Yamaha between 1989 thru 1999 the longest run of any sports bike. It was kept in the line up beside the more capable Yamaha 600's at the time, the YZF600 and R6. As so many were produced parts are dirt cheap and still available at the dealer. I was able to get parts for this restoration right away instead of special order and a week waiting. In stock was plugs, fork seals, exhaust gaskets and oil filter. Just to give you an idea of how many units were produced,-- both bikes I have were produced in 1989, The farm bike was made 2/89 and the restored one in 10/89 and in between that period 19,000 bikes were produced according to the difference's in their serial numbers, go figure.
