fzr help 3kw

Sounds like its between 89 - 91 3ln 1 or 2, that is if boz has the numbers right.

 

Twin front disc (and assuming deltabox frame) means 3LN... twin front headlights indicates its the 3LN-1. I've never come across a 3LN-2 yet and i've looked at & played with alot of Fizzers.

Build date as Cirian said is 1989-1991, but there are exceptions to this.

 

Any pics?

 

A big if! As Koma said there are exceptions - it is possible that it is a later bike with older body work too. But as a general rule it works.

Could be a 400? They look very similar and are about the same size.

400 pics:

Key differences that I can immediately see:
- the 400 has different seats (and the back seat looks much smaller than the 250)
- the 250 has dual pot brake calipers on the front, the 400 has single.

 

Well atleast now I know what the 2KR 400 equivalent looks like; i'd never seen one before in my life. Seen plenty of 1000's, and a truckload of 250's.

My bets are still its a 250 3LN-1.

Definitely check the brake calipers on the front as Boz suggested. Or even easier, take a photo of the front wheel, the frame stamp, and the overall bike... and we'll suss it out.

 

I have only seen one 400 and I made the mistake of mentioning that I have the same bike, but different colours (I did this perhaps about 6 months of owning my fzr). He replied "you have a 400?" and I then had to admit that I was on a 250 and I was mistaken. They look very similar!

 

I've never heard of a fzr150 - they only came in 250, 400, 600, 750, and 1000's.

If that is your bike in below your name in the posts it looks like it is a fzr250-3ln - can't see the front so can't say anymore (but if it has twin headlights then probably a 3ln-1 model).

 

I'd like to suggest a different approach. Go find a straight road and see how fast it goes. Anything over 200kph and its probably a 400!!!!

Less than 160kph and you may have the only fzr150 in known existence!!
In between the two and its probably a plain old 250.
(This assumes the bike is in good running order of course)

 

If the bike in the avatar is the one you are talking about, it isnt a 250. One word of advice, stop believing everything your friend says, lol. Never have I seen a fzr 150. Its not a fzr250 3ln, you can tell by the faring. Unless it is an after market one. Never seen a fairing like it on a 3ln.

 

I can't see any difference myself (are you meaning the dual intakes on the side fairing? I thought that was just the photo and didn't think much about it). I judged it by small disc on front - therefore not 2kr. Has the shape of a 3ln (high tank, etc.) so I just assumed...

Definitely need to see a bigger picture!

Sonny - Could you either take one and post or find a bike similar to yours on <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.bikepics.com">www.bikepics.com</a><!-- w --> ?

 

That, the shape of the hole in the faring for the engine cover and the shape of the frame. The hole is much smaller and a different shape to all the ones I have seen. The frame tapers off as it moves up the bike unlike the 3ln one that stays the same width. Have a look at my bike in the link below.

 

strange you mention that, my vlc (vehicle lisencing Certificate) arrived and the frame number is 3ln-2xxxxx!! its a blue ands silver twin headlight and the original manifacture date on it is 1993 but this might not be correct as the dealers who import them often take years of the bikes with some paper surgery. they dont put the import year, just a few years off the age ie: ive seen "1996" 3ln1's around

 

That bigger pic has done nothing but make me even more confused. One thing I can tell you for sure is it is not a fzr250 3ln. Maybe FZR Dude could offer some insight as to the other bikes in the FZR family.

 

Thanks for the vote of confidence. Looks to me to be a FZR150, as has been surmised. I was unaware of such a bike, but if you go BikePics(http://www.bikepics.com/yamaha/fzr150/), there are a couple of different years. Definitely an import, more than likely from Japan.

It may also be a V-Twin.

This is a 97 FZR 150

 

150

from the looks of the fairing your bike looks like a 97 model fzr150. ithink they are made in Taiwan. the 150 is 2cyl. V twin the 250 is a 4 cyl. check them out on the bike pic site.

 

Geez...the 125 wouldn't go much faster than 100 km/h surely? Lol, imagine if they kept it as a 4 cyl..that thing could redline to like 25,000 rpm haha.
