Here are a couple more pictures of it http://www.geocities.com/jibaridge/fzr600r.jpg

 

Hey brokemybanshee, what's up? All these pictures & talk of your '88 FZR 600... That's not what you have. You have a FZR 400, not a 600. The FZR 600 didn't come out until '89. Yes, a 600 motor can be put into the 400 chassis, but I see that you still have the stock 400 exhaust. The hybrid would require an aftermarket/custom exhaust. I guess that I'm just writing this because it seems kind of messed up that you are saying that you have something that you don't.

 

Hey man I dont know crap about them, all I know is the guy said it was a 600 and it looks pretty big to be a 400. As far as I know it is a 600. I looked on the title but it doesnt say the cc's.. how can I tell the diffrence??

 

Sorry if I was offensive, I thought that you were trying to scam people, telling them that it was a 600, sounds like you're the one who got scammed. An '89 600, the first year of the FZR 600.. had a 3 & 1/2" rear rim with a 130 tire. All 400's & '90 or newer 600's came with a 4" rim & a 140 tire. The 600 has roound intake tubes that route from the front of the fairing abouve the headlights, back through the fairing towards the carbs. The 400 had a redline of I believe 14,000. The 600's redline is 11,500 I believe. The 400 has an aluminum frame, while the 600 has a painted steel frame to look like aluminum. I believe that the 400's motor was painted black, the 600's are silver. Dimensions, the 400 has a swingarm only 1" shorter than the 600 & 1 less degree of rake in the fork, so they'll look about the same size. Sorry for getting down on you, I used to be hard core into sport bikes, I've owned many... including a '89 FZR 600. In '88 Yamaha's 600 was called FZ, not FZR. It was air cooled, not liquid cooled liek your '88 400 or a '89 FZR600. You were lyed to when you bought your bike.

 

Do you know how to tell what year (and/or) model it is by the VIN numbers? Or a website that has the info? In my clymer banshee manual there is one but that really dont help much... Ill have to go up and take the plastic off and check it out.

 

Sorry, I don't know of a source on-line to check your VIN #. But your Yamaha dealer can verify it for sure. I would bet almost anything in the world that you own a FZR 400. Sorry.

Good luck with your quad project! Have fun, & ride!!
