parts interchangability (is that a word?)

Did the fzx250 'zeal' get released in the US? It has allot of common engine parts.

If you use the Yamaha genuine parts program it can cross reference the different models. Just need to become friends with a dealer that has the program.

 

I'd check that one as i've cross checked Zeal parts before and they were different. Clutch is different, majority of engine components are different. Many bolt on parts are easily swapped though such as engine casings.

 

No Yamaha 250's (street/sport) imported to the US.

 

Was the TZR250 imported to the USA. It shares a lot of parts with the FZR

 

Isn't the TZR a 2 stroke?

Or are you talking about the external parts that are interchangable?

 

Not as a production bike as I remember. The only two-stroke that comes to mined was the RZ350 (83[yellow/white/black]-84{red/white/black} I think).

I know that Canada got the TZ250 and the TZ500 as a friend of mine bought a TZ500 from up there.

 

Yes, the FZR was loosely based on the TZR 2 stroke and lots of peripheral parts are the same, levers, indicators, mirrors, possibly fairings and suspension. I was able to get a new mirror for mine by going to the dealers and looking up the TZR part (my bike was a 2KR)

 

anything specific?

i think the 400 is closer to the 600, but i also think you could swap things like pegs fuel pump brake calipers rotors etc from the 400, the 400 came out with a 18" rear wheel so that is a no go

the rear shock maybe ok from 400.600 or 1000

the 400 and 600 share the same round headlights so i would think you could swap things like fairing stay upper cowl maybe even the swing arm

i have a 400 as a second bike so if you want the measure something on your 250 i'll give you the measurements of the 400

 

That would only be the early FZR1000's. The later FZR1000's swapped to electronic reserve with the fuel cock on the bottom of the tank.

 

So do the FZR 600 brake calipers fit 250 3ln forks? I have a 3ln trackky that needs new brakes. Can't really afford the 600 front end conversion yet and all the 3ln calipers i've seen in town are completely ******. <!-- s:bigmachgun: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/th_Big_Machine_Gun.gif" alt=":bigmachgun:" title="Big Machine Gun" /><!-- s:bigmachgun: --> <!-- s=0= --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_2gunsfiring_v1.gif" alt="=0=" title="Gunfire" /><!-- s=0= -->

Do a set of 600 forks just bolt right into the triple clamp or are they different?

The calipers from FZR600 are not compatible, 100% sure. I spent a lot of time looking into that when trying to replace a scorched small piston. The only other bike using identical caliper is from TZR. FZR600 is compatible with FZR400 ... it's not just the piston size, it's the bracket mount hole distance as well. So be prepared to do some fiddling if you bought FZR600 calipers ... so you are perhaps better off doing the whole front end swap, but I'd only do it if I don't have another choice ...

 

front brake calipers from a r1,the blue or gold spot ones. year 98 till about 2003 fit straight on a 2kr .100mm is the the caliper bolt spacing .xjrs,vmax ,r6 and a few others all same ,do not need to change master cylinder either. if 3nl same spacing they bolt straight on,plus u got better brakes

 

3LN Caliper bolt spacing is 83mm I believe. Just rebuilt a set and fitted them to my 350YPVS.
