Hello guy,
Ive recently purchased a 1990 yamaha FZR400, I believe its a 3TJ model. I'm after some parts but I have noticed something odd. Are all the 3TJ model FZR's known as RR's or RRSP? When I bought the bike it was listed as an FZR400 with no designation, can anyone shed any light? Also of anyone has any bits for sale let me know.

Hi,
if you go to www.madsi.co.uk there is a page with all the models and chassis numbers to help identify your bike.

The most obvious thing will be the RRSP has a single seat unit, but that's not definitive as someone might have fitted a single seat to an RR to bump the price up.

As far as I can remember the RRSP has a close ratio gearbox, adjustable suspension, extra clutch plate, uprated valve springs, captive wheel spacers and possibly flat slide carbs.

It seems a bit quiet on here nowadays, as I have not been on this side much over the last few years, but I'm sure one of the more knowledgeable members will be along shortly and give you more information.

As oollit stated, have a look at madis. They list the frame number ranges for each model,you should be able to find the frame number on your bike and compare it to the website.

Would be nice if it turns out you've got an RRSP :)

Yes.
There's the also the Japan Export model - 4DX which is like the3TJ RR but with a couple of small changes. The quickest way to tell the models is by headlight and air intakes, a 3TJ has a trapezoidal lamp with 2 paralever lamps and no air intake.
