spare engine

[Rammy]

Hi I have aquired a spare engine (400) he told me it was a 3tj but when i got there it wasnt got it cheap enough so picked it up anyway. Just not to sure what it is. It has small fins and the only engine marking i can make out it 33M. It has magnesium and yipcs or something similar moulded in the head cover. any ideas???

1wg genesis if it's silver
or
original 1wg FZR400 if it's black ... they had a steel frame that was used for the FZ600

Post a pic - that should settle it. Or check out Simon Steeds site

An FZR400 with a steel frame, that would be a first. I worked on a coupla of the 87 FZR400's with the 1WG stamped black engines and they definatly had aluminium frames.

Would it not be the air-cooled FZ400 that shared a frame with the steel framed air cooled FZ600?

Actually it was a first, it was produced before the alloy framed Genesis models probably about 85-86

Yeah, there was an 84-85 FZR400.



But they didn't have the genisis Engines. They had they were the pre-fz engines. With an 27 degree angel cilinders (instead of the 41 degree FZR Genisis Engine)

So i doubt that the TS has one of these they are very different to the FZR engines.

I think that's the race bike - the steel framed streetbike shared the bodywork of the FZ600 but it was watercooled and as I say had a square section steel frame
