FZS600 Fazer / Idles with choke open but stalls on acceleration
« on: 18 April 2015, 12:10:17 pm »
Hi everyone,
I had a problem just before winter with poor running on acceleration, and put it down to a faulty tps as I had the recounter fault showing with the counter flicking between 3 different positions. For about a year it was never caused a problem with the engine but in October with the poor running I decided to buy a second hand one and fit it to the bike. This didn't solve the poor running g on acceleration so I left it over winter and bought a brand new tps as the 2nd hand one also had resistances outside of the Haynes Manuel spec.

Having put the new one in yesterday along with a brand new air filter and new spark plugs, the problem persists. The engine idles with the choke on but when I open the throttle it stalls.

The vacuum of the carbs seems fine as I have a carb sync set, and there doesn't appear to be any leaks in the manifolds.

I think I know where my problem now lies, but I was hoping for some confirmation from people on here if you are kind enough to contribute to my problem solving.

Many thanks in advance.

Dave.

FZS600 Fazer / Battery Losing Charge
« on: 15 September 2014, 08:28:38 pm »
I jumped on the bike on Saturday, put the keys in the ingition and turned it on but everything was dead. I checked the battery and it wasn't even reading a voltage. I put in on a trickle charge until the voltage was above 14V, connected it all up and still nothing, so I checked the voltage again and it was gradually falling at about 0.1V per second!
I then disconnected all of the leads to work out what was drawing power, but it still kept falling. I presume the battery is completely knackered, but even when connected a second battery in parallel to jump start it, once I took the 2nd battery away the voltage of the knackered battery was jumping all over the place, to the extent that when I turned ON my lights or heated grips etc, the voltage went up to over 12V, and when I turned them OFF it was going down to 10V.

Is it purely a knackered battery or might there also be a fault with the regulator?? I don't want to buy a new battery to knacker that one as well if something else in the circuit is causing a failure.

FZS600 Fazer / 3rd puncture in 6 months!
« on: 14 May 2012, 09:14:22 am »
I've just suffered my 3rd puncture in 6 months and it's beginning to piss me off now! It's my second new rear tyre on the Fazer and the tyre's only done 400 miles. The previous tyre had only done 2000 miles and had been repaired once already so I got it changed to be on the safe side.
 
My question is: Is there a solution to a recurring expensive problem like this (other than commuting to work using the underground!!) such as using inner tubes within the tyres or are there any tyres which are more robust to punctures than others?
 
Also - how safe are repaired tyres (provided that the puncture is central on the tread) and will it affect the maximum speed on the tyre?
