Hiya, I am the new owner of an 1986 fz750 1FN bike in loctite red and white which has the full fairing and single seat options. The bike was giving to me and is in maybe what would be classed as barn find condition! She has been off the road and untouched since 1997 but I pulled the tank of and with a drop of fuel down the carbs and a jump pack...she fired straight away with no choke! Am I on to a winner or just forget it? Lol. I think...strip and show it the love she deserves...? Scott

Hi Scott. If you like the bike and think you will get some use out of it I say go through it but the cost of restoring a bike that hasn't been used for some time can soon escalate. Brakes, suspension & tyres would be the first items on the agenda for me. I'm sure you'll find a buyer without too much trouble if you don't decide to keep it. Where are you from?

Hiya and thanks for your reply first off. I do yes have a little 'thing' for the bike and will definitely be enjoying it and not looking for money making...i just like the bike and don't like seeing history disappear! I have completely stripped and cleaned carbs and nothing needed bar good clean. Gonna fit tomorrow and if runs ok I think I'll do it and save her!

I think you can copy & paste the "IMG" link straight to your post otherwise paste the link in the pop up box. Can't remember but I explained it in the "how to".
