My filament dryer came in today so I should be able to get the printer fired up again. Now to figure out how to use this scanner app and print something afterwards.Quote:

It’ll be an expensive bill for the parts coming, but should be the last of it.
I’ve got all the pressure fuel lines coming, the 4 diamond airbox gaskets, and a new set of throttle bodies. The throttle bodies I only need the 4 fuel injectors from, but having spare parts is a good thing I guess.

Insane. I can't believe you tracked these parts down.
Estimate on what the bike is worth when done? Are they that rare? This like a $20k bike?
way more than that if complete, running, and all OEM like Mark's is.Quote:

It’s been frustrating at times, but the challenge of finding parts has been satisfying.Quote:

It’s been quite a few years since an R7 has sold on iconic, but the last one sold for north of $50k, with way more miles/KM’s than mine.
I have no intention of selling it.
i want one of these badly
Oh, oh..... Well, thanks for clarifyingQuote:

I’m thankful for the opportunity to have bought this current bike and restore it.

Let the fun start, question is, will it run?
The remaining chain guard parts are also on their way.
Let's goooooooo!
It's crazy to think how rare that little pile of parts is.
Such a sick bike, and annoying Yamaha brought the nameplate back for a parallel twin :mecry:
Where do you even start looking for unicorn blood?Quote:

Iconic motorbikes has been a huge help as well. One of their techs had a bunch of R7 parts that I bought.
It’s definitely been a challenging and time consuming effort to find parts.
I have no doubt that you will be able to get it to run.Quote:

No more codes on the dash now that everything is hooked up properly.
I need to clean the inside of the fuel tank, put some fresh fuel in it, and see if it runs.

lol, sorry about that. I tried this evening, while I did get it to start briefly, fuel was starting to leak from the fuel pump gasket. It wasn’t worth the risk of letting it warm up with the fuel leak.Quote:

I’m unsure if it’s accurate or not. I was told it had about 2,000 km on it when I bought it, but wasn’t able to verify for a couple months after I bought it and had a set of keys made.Quote:

I haven’t a new OE fuel pump, new fuel lines, cleaned the fuel rails, replaced the fuel regulator, replaced the injectors, and still can’t get it to kick. It starts, but instantly stalls.
Any ideas?
Do you have fuel pressure? Is the pump kicking on with the ignition then shutting off when it reaches needed pressure prime?Quote:

Put 9-12vdc power on each one and see if they open.
Are electrical connections in the proper place for each injector?
Chances the wire harness is reversed?
Is the timing set correctly? Cams, flywheel, crank.
Is there an injector pulse signal/pickup/ sensor?
