I’ve got die grinders and Dremels and a heat gun too. I saw your approach and realized that I can pull it off if I need to. I don’t have a hydraulic press, and I hate paying the machine shop $30 minimum for little tasks like that.

Nicely done! Now I know I can tackle my own gearbox rebuild this winter if I need to.
Thanks,
ScottIt looks cool, but your back will sure get wet on a rainy day. 🙂 Here in Oregon, we have rain nine months of the year, so that’s an important consideration here.

I think that URL should have been “http://www.airtech-streamlining.com”… in case someone wants to look it up later.

I’ve got to agree with you that the FZ750 wiring diagram is not easy to trace. Being “older” has its relative meanings. Compared to any era of motorcycles before it, the bikes of the Eighties were hugely complex, and Japanese cleverness only complicated that trend. I haven’t looked at even newer bikes’ wiring diagrams to see if, like modern cars, have adopted packetized data over communication buses to simplify wiring.
Good luck with your reassembly. With any luck it all worked before it got pulled apart, and simply connecting it all up will make it work again. Cross your fingers.

As far as I’ve been able to figure out, the reserve switch enables the fuel pump to run when the fuel gauge points to “E.” Switched to the ON position the fuel pump will switch off when the fuel gauge points to “E,” but the manual says that 1.3 gal. remains in the tank. Switching to the RES position will allow the fuel pump to run again and pump all the remaining fuel out of the tank, a little like a manual petcock does on a bike without a fuel gauge.

Scott,
Sorry that I didn’t notice when you put your pictures up promptly after I asked. I see them now. Thank you for putting them up. I do think I have a Vance & Hines exhaust on my bike, but older than yours and with the simpler, rectangular plate riveted on. The other details really look like mine, though.
I envy your center stand too. I really wish FZ700’s came with that detail.
Scott
Scott, I may have an older Vance & Hines exhaust on my FZ700, but I can’t tell for sure because some careless person spray-painted the aluminum badge with silver paint. You wouldn’t happen to have a picture of the other side of your bike so I can see your V&H exhaust, would you?
Thanks,
ScottHmmm, it’s almost cheaper to buy a full fairing from Poly 26 Carénages in France than to buy the American one. Thank you for posting these links.
Scott
Chris, when you find out please let me know. I need a full fairing too.

This site looks fun, and holds a lot of promise. I hope you bring over the forums from the FZ750.com web site, or link to them easily. There is a lot of very good information in those threads, and it would be a shame to lose it.
Keep up the great work!
Scott
