Project FZR: JDM Race Replica

I passed my bike test in January this year, although it feels like a life time ago now. I decided to treat myself a few weeks back as I was hankering after a bike. The choice was between a Yamaha FZR400RR or a Ducati 750ss. The Yamaha was cheaper and I felt for my first proper bike it would tick all the boxes. The bike has an I4 16 valve twin cam 400cc engine and this model FZR is renowned for it's gorgeous handling thanks to the frame design.

Here is the bike after I had got it home,

The bike is mechanically sound with the only snag so far being the notorious EXUP valve at low revs rattling. I am just going to enjoy riding it now and over the winter I will take it to bits and clean it up. The EXUP valve bushings will probably have to be replaced but I wanted to give the exhaust a paint anyway. The bike came with the standard pipe as well as an aftermarket can. The pipe says 'Coerce' so I'll have to do a bit of research. When I took the pipe off I was amazed at how light it is compared to the OEM unit. At some point I'll get some videos of the bike but for now I just want to ride it!
