morning all.........swaped the carbs this morning  :D  checked diaphrams,sliders and jets,all good with standard size jets  :)
started the old girl up and...................no change :\ [size=78%]................stutter at 6000 rpm just like hitting a rev limited [/size] :\ :\ :\
going to check the valve clearances when the engines cooled down,probs this evening and then
....................................................................dont know  :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes ........might go with ADE THE BLADE idea and go up a size on the jets.....but dont understand why this would work  :\ :\ ........................
 its very sudden when it hits the stutter almost like throwing a switch.........so iam thinking electrics ;) ive swoped ecu,coils,and tps and am now thinking.............REGULATOR/RECTIFIER............your thoughts please peoples :)
One, is never going to be enough.....

...am now thinking.............REGULATOR/RECTIFIER............your thoughts please peoples :)
It's a possibility, a voltmeter across the battery terminals should indicate whether there's a problem there. I'm sure you'd have noticed low battery if the rectifier wasn't doing it's bit, if the regulator side had failed then the voltage could rise: maybe high enough to upset the CDI unit, but usually a high supply voltage just tends to kill things like that. And you might have noticed lights getting very much brighter as the revs got higher. So, have to say it's unlikely.
Did you try the suggested plug chop after holding it at max revs for a while? That should indicate if it's a mixture problem.
Otherwise, try a timing light... that might give some clues.

Disappointing.

Can u find a fellow FZS owner who can leave his bike with you for 24 hours while you swap over all electrical parts until you find the culprit? Would save you spending another small fortune replacing the wrong parts.

Beers usually do the job

working in leicester today so popped into yamaha dealer while i was up there ;) ,was going to buy 4x120 jets,2 sizes bigger ;) .......helpful chap behind the counter asked why so i went through the whole story :\ :\ :\ :\ .....told me i was wasting my time but agreed on what i had already checked and said he would have gone down the same road :D
 asked if i had tested crank position sensor but i could`nt remember if i had or not :o :o  and then he mentioned fuel pump and relay :D  which CRH has also just mentioned,rocker covers off at the moment so i can check the valve clearences just to make sure they are correct now that i have fitted new shims ;)  then i`ll bypass the fuel filter and pump and see what happens  :D
  i advised someone on here a few weeks back to try this but it did`nt occur to me at the time to try it on mine  :o :o :o

offer still there mate if you want to try it?....not using mine at the mo so you welcome to try it?...been looking for a link between yours and ades ?.....did you say you changed your headers??, cus ade as stainless on his hasn,t he?....some aftermarket headers are a diff bore internally ?..and can make your engine run very weak causing top end fuel starvation!! :rolleyes .....and as ade said he never did find out why he had to re-jet??....whats been throwing me is the fact you only changed ,your filter and headers .....then the stutter>,,,,,worth a thought mabe?...cus if it is that you now need bigger jets and that solves the problem?,...thats the ...only....link between yours and his.....HEADERS!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

hi matey.......yes been thinking about the headers  ;)  it is a big stutter :\  and i think to big for the headers alone to cause it....ive welded the origanals up and can refit to see  :) ....thanks for the offer of the loan :D ,i`ll bypass both the pump and filter at the weekend and see what happens......as for the jets ,this is what the dealer in leicester was getting at....there is no reason to change them,its worked on ades but we dont know why :\ ....mines standard,as you know,with exception of stainless headers and k+n filter,which should not need a re-jet  :\ ......once again thanks for your input :D :D :D

The stainless headers that  red has came from my bike which ran fine when it had them. At the time it was running a standard air filter and standard end can as well - so practically an identical setup to red

Unfortunately I don't know what make / brand they are as they came with the bike - I'll have a rummage in the old paper work and see if the previous owner kept the receipt but I don't think so :(

think the only diff that ade had was a aftermarket end can?....dont know when he fitted his headers though,ie, before his trouble or after?...but he never did find out why he had to re-jet? did he?......see how you get on red?  i now know of someone with a spare fuel relay if it is that at fault?...and will let you have it cheap!!
