hey man awesome work with the FZR. Im not a full mechanic but love working on cars and bikes. I bought a basket case to and am rebuilding just the top end. To bad you werent in the florida area or we could help eachother out as Im in over my head a little bit but with patience and the right tools Ill be ok. I read you disconnected the ex-up valve... Being a mechanic Im sure you know what it does so i was wondering why you would want to disconnect it?
