When it comes to nuts and bolts buying specific Yamaha parts can be expensive...have more fun and save money getting stainless steel bolts of every type on ebay...so far I have replaced most of the visible hex bolts on crankcase covers , handlebars etc with nice SS bolts...cost next to nothing and free postage...if u don't mind waiting a couple of weeks.. :lmao2

Just to close FREE PLAY issue, I had to readjust the throttle cables to take up slack. They stretched a bit after a few days. ;)

ERK...
Turns out there was no need to change the throttle cables...the problem i was having was carb related and not the cables...we live and learn...I even bought TWO new throttle cable sets by mistake... :rolleyes

ARF...finally sorted my carb issues... :rollin
First I had a bogging down while tipping along at low revs...open the throttle, and nothing ... for a few secs...then start to accelerate away.... turns out to be a clogged pilot jet...makes sense, since pilot jet is helping at low revs, not just idling, and wasn't working properly, but once main jet kicks in off we go.
Second problem...revs won't fall back to idle when throttle is shut off...NOT pilot jet, although some experts suggest that running too rich causes this problem. I went down that road and tried adjusting pilot screws...no difference except lumpy idling.
Put pilot screws back to factory setting.
NOT throttle cable, i fitted a new one and made sure it was snapping back all the way. NOT a partly open choke circuit.
Other expert points out that shutting the throttle should drop all needles into main jets and close them SMARTLY. If one needle is not falling for some reason (diaphragm damaged/not seated correctly or some tiny obstruction) then there will be a delay in revs falling.
I took off the carbs, and without dismantling them completely opened the tops and made sure the diaphragms were seated correctly and the sliders were working smoothly....BINGO..! Blip the throttle and she revs up and falls back like a good FZS should...took it for a burn and experienced bliss of perfect throttle response....this video was a big help -

thanks for the comments and advice

Hi Again Dude..
thanks for the advice...i checked the throttle response without the cables and still had the delay in revs falling back....but since i opened up the carbs and carefully checked the sliders and needles...all seems to be OK...!  I'm hoping that the throttle cables will loosen up a bit in time and give me a bit more free play, but they are snapping back OK and closing all the way...
weather in Ireland is warm and dry...time to thrash  :lol

Thanks for informations and thoughts. I now understand wot pilot screws do. That video with the Italian guy is good... My bike is STILL having throttle shut off delay...when I shut the throttle the revs don't go back to idle SMARTLY.
Changing the pilot adjustment screws didn't make any difference...so back to factory settings. Used WD40 and butane to check for air leaks...negative. Checked my sliders and diaphragms...all looks OK...still no difference. New throttle cables...STILL revs won't drop back after throttle shut off...
Anyone had similar issues......?? :wall

Hi Dude
Thanks for the advice....theres no adjustment left at either end...the cables are routed correctly and the right way round...annoying, the bike is driving OK but throttle feels tight. I didn't check the new cables against the old ones...cant face taking carbs off (AGAIN)...! :eek

« on: 24 May 2019, 01:45:23 pm »
They look similar to a set I fitted to my 5DMC...I had a bit of trouble lining up the bracket with the mounting bolt... a bit of force involved but I got them on OK...cargo straps are great for pulling things into line :lol

Thanks for the tips lads....I tested for air leak but all seems OK.
When I think about this it's unlikely that the pilot jets are causing this problem (revs not dropping smartly down when I shut off the throttle).....since pilot jets only supply tickover fuel...
I suppose I will fit new throttle cables...but I'm not all that opti :groan mistic that will solve the prob....?

When I shut off the throttle the revs don't fall back to idle immediately...theres a delay. The throttle cables seem to snap back OK (I ordered a new set anyway)...but could this be down to ill adjusted pilot screws....?

ARF...!  thanks for the help...I did look up some carbs videos and discovered that the pilot screw is for allowing fuel, not air into the idle circuit...

Hi
I know that the pilot jets let a small amount of air into the engine side of the intake...but why...?
and when the manual says the pilot screws should be two turns out , is that two full (360º) 0R two half (180º) turns...? :book

Bought a couple of cheap Chinese "Projector" spotlights on Ebay...stuck them on the FZS600. OK they are cheap and they look cheap, but WOT a difference...! :eek
Now I can actually ride at night.

PPS....taking the carbs off is not that difficult...assuming the battery is out, its a good idea to hold the airbox back as far as possible with a cargo strap or similar...

Hi
I just had the engine out of my Fazer. Its not essential to remove coils/fuel pump from above the engine but it helps....just loosen the bracket, disconnect the HT leads and the fuel to carbs hose (at the fuel pump) and fold the whole lot back. The engine comes out on the starboard side...using a trolley jack under is a big help to take the weight and lift the engine a bit.
Difficult but will come out.
