TZR "spokes" are much narrower.
TZ spokes even more so.

General Chatter / Re: WWDD
Last post by 85RZwade - June 14, 2026, 07:39:11 PMI got the fork seals and oil in, reassembled the front wheel, changed the nearly-black transmission oil, cranked the rear spring preload into the normal range and took my boys riding...
I have seen a lot of bent foot pegs, but this is a first:
He's fine, and they're just motorcycle parts. The little that I rode it (mostly downhill and one-handed, taking it back to the truck), it seemed very familiar and good.
BUT. Why are the new fork seals leaking like sieves after (literally) 1.7 trail miles? I have manuals and the correct tools, I like to think that I know what I'm doing, but this kinda sucks. They're All Balls seals; I've used their bearings in the past without issues, but this is the first set of their seals I've tried. I'm not looking forward to taking these forks apart again so soon

Turning Wrenches / Re: A 'simple' ignition quest...
Last post by RDDave - June 14, 2026, 07:27:07 PMDigital. Running battery voltage is 13v +/- with lights on. I hadn't thought about the 'switching'. Thank you for that insight. I have a relay because of the 1.5v voltage drop when it goes through entire system. I am reading using both coil terminals.
I cannot keep this bike running consistently. Obviously, I am missing something. It will run strong for a bit. And then back to it's old tricks. I haven't as yet found the source of the inconsistency. So that is the reason for these weird questions. I am in test territory that I have never, ever needed to be in before. Usually, I find the problem in straight forward tests. But not this time. But I intend to keep slugging it out. With your help.
Thank you.................AGAIN!

Last post by m in sc - June 14, 2026, 04:45:36 PMyou using an analog or digital meter? they typically wont run under 10v at battery. whats the battery voltage at 2000 rpm? iif thats 12.5 or higher with everything on and running its fine. the coil supply wire is fed directly from what battery voltage is. so, if you're reading it at the coil its charging and dischargibg and the in and outrush may be giving weird readings. also, you reading at the + or - side of the coil? + is what matters

Turning Wrenches / A 'simple' ignition question
Last post by RDDave - June 14, 2026, 04:40:04 PMOn a stock 350 ignition except for the coil upgrade, what should the running voltage be across the coil terminals when running?
I have 5 to 6 volts. Not running I have just short of battery voltage, but running only 5 or 6. The charging output is good so that's not a problem.
Any input would be appreciated.

Turning Wrenches / FZR vs TZR Wheels.
Last post by SmokeAddicted - June 14, 2026, 03:52:38 PMI need help identifying these wheels. Apparently TZR wheels and a few select models of FZR 250/400 look near identical. Maybe they are identical and I'm just spinning my wheels. No pun intended.
I dont have a rear hub, and I know TZR wheels will not work for my particular project. I just have no way of identifying what I have. Hopefully someone out there can confirm.
