[quote=Jester;58178]hey Rodneyc I think we need to straighten a few things out so i will answer each question one by one .
2. The casing that are mentioning on your handle bars is your front brakes fluid housing. If this is empty you will need to bleed the front brake and also check for a leak (if you have a leak then I would reccomend braided lines instead of standard replacements).
3. It seems your bike has been left out in the conditions by it previous owner. I think that your tires are old and therefore have caused some discolouration. Although there is no evidence of sidewall craking check to see if your tires have gone hard and replace if you have any doubts.
5. Definitly replace that chain but as a general when replacing a chain replace the spockets as well as they wear and bed in with existing chain over time and this disformation will cause rapid wear on the new chain.
6. Clean the bike and then check for leaks on both the forks and sump before tearing them apart. There would be alot of oily residue from the road and brake dust that forms over time and that's what looks like to be on your engine.

first things first, CLEAN IT... take the fairing OFF. tank, and clean it as much as possible , cover important items like carbs, coils, ect. spray it down with a good degreaser and pressure wash it if u can , u may havta do it a few times, the entire bike! the tires and chain are fine. clean them as well, as soon as u spray a decent degreaser such as simple green , or purple power, the brown will float off. may take a few time to really be clean same for teh chain. u will have to clean , then move the bike, and clean sum more. then raise the rear u can do this anumber of ways, if you have help put the kick stand down , and get then to pull it toward the kickstand enuff to raise the rear tire. coat the chain down with PB blaster , or WD40 let it do the work , itll free the kinks and start attackin rust. then when its mostly drip dry lube it with 80w90 gear oil. itll drip also . the canister you talk about is INDEED the clutch its on the left bar, the brake resi. is on the right . as far as clutch LEAKAGE, i doubt that spots it... the master cylinder feeds down teh left side under the generator. theres a bleed screw jus like brakes , fill it and bleed it , keepin your eye on the resi, cuz its small and goes quick. it would be a good idea to suck dry all the resiviors and fill with fresh and bleed them all, front and rear brakes and clutch. fluid gets old and dirty from time, light , and heat. it is corosive to the components and PAINT. so wipe up and spilt fluid. CHANGE YOUR OIL/ FILTER . and DONT forget the COOLANT !!! so many people over look this. it may be a good idea to take ur resivoir off and spray it out . ESPECIALLY if its dry. when u fill it again , the old residue will flake off and contaminate ur fresh coolant. and possibly cause a clog. if u have the time, it never hurts to replace the fork seals especially if its halfway torn down , and your not ridin the bike anyway. then you KNOW what you have. . id also clean the carbs . and dont forget to do the tank, it FEEDS the carbs... after its clean get a can of seafoam and fill her up with premium fuel. this will help clean up the internals and be a lil more responsive and possibly quiet valve chatter. last but not least. spark plugs... they provide the fire to get ya goin. foul spark is a not so pleasnt experience. new plugs when its all said and done.... hope you get it all straight were redoion a 98zx7r now. and its lookin pretty hott. after i fix all the fairings imma lay a fresh coat of paint. and pics WILL go up. good luck on yours and let us know wuts up !!!
