14 - FZR1000: First Ride Since The Rebuild | Tom's Workshop 

Epic!!! Great you saved the old girl!!

Nice one Tom - now it`s a keeper, I've had mine for 34 years and will be on the road in the next three months after too long off it. Thanks for the story & inspiration.Then there`s 4 others to do!!!

Damn great job!!! I wish I could get my 95 FZR to you... Enjoy it, it's a beautiful bike to ride...

Great series Tom!! I'm just finishing up my 1984 Yamaha Virago 1000 and looking at a 1987 FZR1000. I was on the fence about the FZR but after watching your videos, I think that's my next restoration. Thanks for all the great content!!

I flippin love the Yamahas from this era. I've got a foxeye 600 from the same year, I've had it forever. I've recently got it back on the road after too many years in the garage. Just so good to ride without feeling like kids bike on speed like the more modern 600s. I'm currently entertaining myself by replacing a lot of crusty fasteners with nice shiny ones, easy wins!

Fantastic watched all 14 nice work

Test rode a version of this bike back in the 90's. My initial impression was. I felt like I had owned this bike for ten year's already. It was that good in my opinion. Thanks for sharing yours.

Really really really enjoyed this project!!! More films please!!❤

Du beau travail....Merci pour le partage et le montage

Really enjoyed the series Tom and I'm watching the current rebuild of the ZX7R.

Had the same exact bike back in the day!!! Feels like a long time ago saying I sold it 15 years ago. Think I still have a bunch of extra parts for it in storage… Man I loved that bike!!! Hope it treats you well!!!

Fantastic work Tom, loved watching you blast it out of that roundabout once the pilot jets were clear.

Hi Tom I just stumbled upon your video series on your FZR restore. Loved it. I have an 87 FZR 1000 I rode into the shed and parked it 10 years ago. I am going to need to do some major work to get it back on the road but at least mine is not in as bad condition as yours started out. Thanks for the inspiration. .

Fan-f%&king-tastic!! I'm happy you have her finished but sad that this part of the journey is over. I love watching the restoration videos, especially ones like these, no fancy equipment or facilities, just a bloke in his shed figuring his way around problems, love it! Well done, can't wait for the Ninja project (see if you find it easier than the one I did). Please do post vids of the Yamaha out on the road in all her glory 😎

Great bike, and an awesome series. Time well spent. Subscribed of course. Thanks. 👍

A good clean up is a highly used phrase here 😂

Great video, that bike is looking and sounding incredible and you've done really well to fit so much into a pretty short video. Love it

I just bought this same bike and it needs a couple things done. Awesome videos I’m sure I’ll be scrubbing through when I inevitably forget where something goes. Cheers!

Very good😊👍

Thankyou for making such excellent videos,I had lots of fun watching them. However this certainly was not a restoration.

Nice to finally see the whole thing come together. It's been a great journey, bravo!

Молодец! Много работы сделал, по твоим видео восстанавливаю свой fzr.

That was a nice project. I watched all 14 videos in a row :D I would love to do the same thing for my 91 fzr1000 streetfighter.

You must be a very patient guy to wait 918 days.

Amazing to see her finished, she looks gorgeous. Hope to see some videos with her. Cheers

Really enjoyed this series, already looking forward to the Kawasaki! Thanks for taking the time and putting the effort into making these videos!

Top job, that was a great series. Your ZX7 hopefully won’t give you as many problems!

Freaking love it. I should of taken the time to redo the fzr600 I had instead of giving up on it .

the front of the kawasaki is my fave among the ouls schools

I had an 89 Exup & loved it wish I never sold it but I do like this version to, I'm guessing underneath all the body panels is the same running gear mine had although I really do wish they had a 6 speed box, nice bike though mate jealous lol

Congratulations for your hard work, and thanks for sharing. I've got a 90 model in very decent conditions with 70.000 Km, but I would like to replace bearings and update wheels, brakes and suspension using modern and lighter components. Do you know if new brakes from an R1 are compatible?

After eight years restoration i finished my FZR 1000 build 90. Actually it's a new bike now. Beside the countless hours of work i spend about 7K € on the bike. Wouldn't do it again.

Hey Tom!! Just got my '87 Genesis stripped and the shock/spring is toast. It's a completely sealed OEM unit and not restorable/repairable. Where did you source your shocks from? It looks like I'll have to replace mine too.

Completed except for the chain. Why haven't you sorted the mot?

I'm beginning to think this channel is just one big stealth advertisement for muck off lmao

Hey Tom! I’m buying a 1994 FZR1000 and I need the rear seat cowl. Do you where could I find one?? Thx!

The mixture srewes settings please

Purtroppo moto inutile....pesantissimi e quasi inguidabile sul misto
