The bill was 38.00, and the purchase amount was $245.00. makes you wonder, I thought it was all good, and then here came another bill. kinda sounds like dealing with health care.

I placed an order from Yambits in Dec. and just today have received a bill from Fedex for the DUTIES,TAXES,AND FEES.  oh well such is life. I guess they don't have to bill you at the time of shipment, cause the bill came six months later.

Can you please post pictures of the top of both carbs so we can see the area where the choke lever sits.

It almost looks like someone fitted a chock (enricher) to the carb that doesn't have a brass tube and left the choke out of the other carb.  Or someone really messed up with mismatched carbs.

Question 5, pushing lever down puts the choke on, adds fuel.

All that work, same paint can, and the seat is a lighter shade of red than the tank and fender. Goes to show what black vs grey primer can and will do.

and yeah, you're right. there should be a feed tube on the left carb where the plunger is. not the rh carb. very odd. why somebody would swap that is beyond me.  also, both slides should be 2.5 cutouts, and the arche of the slide on both needs to face the air filter side.

somebody def got creative on the repairs.

Turning Wrenches / Re: FZR vs TZR Wheels.

Last post by bitzz - June 20, 2026, 10:52:35 AM

The TZR wheels I had were really narrow, like 1.85 front, 2.50 rear and had a single 300 or 330mm disk on the front and a 8" rear disk

I bought them cuz they're TZR wheels, but could never find a use for them and ended up giving them to buddy that used them for TZ125 rains
