1987 Yamaha FZR1000 Rebuild
I broke a mounting hole on one of the crankcase halves for my 1987 FZR1000, so I decided to rebuild the whole engine while I had it apart. Luckily, I had the original Yamaha repair manual to guide me. This was probably one of the best learning experiences I’ve had while working on any vehicle.
