Yamaha FZR250 3LN1/3

Linkin · October 25th, 2014, 11:43 PM

Birthday present for myself. Needs some work but almost have 2 full sets of fairings. The Ninja is still my all-around get-anywhere bike, this FZR is just a project

Somchai · October 26th, 2014, 12:00 AM

Happy Birthday and

Linkin · October 27th, 2014, 06:57 PM

So this bike has turned out to be a 3LN6! Slightly rarer and has different carbs to the 3LN5 and older models.

Panda · October 28th, 2014, 10:24 AM

Nice! I'm jealous.

Hero Danny · October 28th, 2014, 10:38 AM

Happy birthday bro! Nice bike!

I love these 20k 4cyl revving bikes!

micoulisninja · October 28th, 2014, 12:10 PM

Best wishes from me too !!
This one is a really good fzr version !! has the double disc front, imroved aero fairing and graphics and still the full power potential if you remove the speedolimiter...
hope you make sth really special out of that beuty...

sweetness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BoBO · October 29th, 2014, 08:14 AM

I love that bike. I don't think that 250 even came out in the U.S. Those were the Golden Age of the 1/4 liter bikes. 4 cylinder-high winding motors-aluminum frame.

Linkin · November 15th, 2014, 10:33 PM

New chain & sprockets have been ordered.
Fairing screen ordered
Looking at tyres next fortnight, will most likely go with Pirelli sport demons

Linkin · November 17th, 2014, 06:25 PM

So this is what the old oil looked like in the FZR... all 500ml of it

There's also some nice paint under all that grime

Triumph was also getting some love...

Sirref · November 17th, 2014, 06:30 PM

It's always nice to see a bike like that get resurrected. I hope it'll have a much better life with you than the previous owner.

The sport demons are good tires, I feel as though they're not as sticky as I want them to be though but that's for track riding. They're just fine for street riding and will give you good feel.

JohnnyBravo · November 17th, 2014, 08:31 PM

That bike sounds sweet

Linkin · December 8th, 2014, 02:05 AM

I'll post pictures later when I get them but, the chains and sprockets have arrived.

I've ordered new grips which arrived. Also ordered fork seals, choke assembly (as mine is missing) and some nice seat covers from the UK.

Once the pics are in it will probably be the last update for the year.

Linkin · December 14th, 2014, 02:38 AM

Not really much of an update... new chain and sprockets arrived, the front sprocket on the 3LN3 and newer FZR250R's has some weird spacer/washer that the older models don't have. The older ones have a shorter shaft as well

Pic of said spacer:

Bought new grips and some new bar ends... new seat covers, mostly cosmetic crap apart from a fork seal kit (will need doing on the Ninja as well)

Anyway

Meanwhile, after a few beers...

My dad came down to Sydney on his FZR so I took it for a spin! Mine should be in similar/better condition

Bad ass little bike.

alex.s · January 16th, 2015, 10:12 PM

Yes it's a deltabox frame, 3LN3 models and newer have it

alex.s · January 17th, 2015, 10:04 AM

throw on some tzr wheels and you got a nice little race bike

Linkin · January 31st, 2015, 07:30 PM

I bought another one

This one doesn't run yet. First order of business is getting it transported to my place or my mechanic. It will likely need the carbs cracked open and cleaned. Drop the oil and change the filter.

This one is a 3LN3 with the full 45 horses and 18.5k RPM redline

Alex · February 1st, 2015, 10:26 AM

garth285 · February 1st, 2015, 10:36 AM

Looks awesome! I just saw online a guy with a FZR250 with a turbo on it making about 50hp! I honestly never knew these bikes existed lol

An unrestricted CBR250RR can hit 60BHP without a turbo

The FZR 3LN3 is 45BHP stock, 3LN6 is 40HP
