FZS600 Fazer / Re: Hitting a invisible brick wall
« on: 17 August 2015, 09:08:21 am »
Hey Guys,

So the fuel filter turned up on Friday, put that in and tested, still the same...  :'(

I was having some fun on some roundabouts next to a petrol station yesterday, and i ran out of fuel so i stuttered to the fuel pump and the noise sounded exactly the same as when it hits 110. Filled up to the brim, actually managed to put 20 quid in  :eek after that the bike managed 120, and I have no idea why :S

I know that the sproket sizes are the same as when i had it before.


I did let my mate have a go and he did say that there was a very faint mis-fire, which could be getting worse when i get to those speeds?


Anyway Ill keep you posted and I will get some caps soon  :D


Thanks,


Tom

Hi Paul,


As you posted i saw bimbam's (i think) post about the retrolabs :rollin


They don't have the angel eyes though do they? and also they are a little pricey  :\  I can probably get away with 80 but the partner might get a little crazy if i go overboard.  :lol


If all fails then I will just get another headlight unit, local scrappy has one for 50 quid  :)

Hi Fazer Buddies,


I know there are a lot of posts about HIDs and headlight mods, but i haven't seen one for projectors, please tell me to go to another post if necessary  :D


Since I am doing quite a lot of TLC to my bike at the moment, and i have just done the headlight mod, It had me thinking, I quite like angel eyes (got some in my beemer). Anyway I was looking through and stumbled on these - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BI-Xenon-Projector-Lens-light-HID-ANGELS-EYE-H1-H7-H4-/320744427630?hash=item4aaddb906e and I was wondering if it was feasible for a Boxeye to have these?


I fitted the angel eyes in my beemer so i am confident in taking headlights apart etc :) and i was also thinking about painting all the reflectors and silver bits matte black  8)

If i get positive feedback then i will go ahead and do it and take pics along the way  :photo


Also what do you think it would look like?

Thanks Foccers :D

« on: 12 August 2015, 09:48:05 am »
Hi Bretty,

Not sure if you are having the same issue as me, but I developed that exact problem a couple of months ago, ended up replacing the engine because it was my primary method of transport.  :lol 
Can you make it go up to around 6-7000 revs by lightly applying the throttle? and then anything after that it almost "jumps" out of gear? At first it felt like I had a massive clutch slip, and then it started getting very violent disengaging and re-engaging and then eventually i couldn't change into 2nd  :rollin

I've had the famous 2nd gear issue twice over the 3 years, first time a garage "fixed it" and then it came round again 2 years later. I looked into it and I was going to replace the selector forks, but i couldn't have the bike in pieces for several weeks  :lol 

just thought i'd say something  :D

:'(  I wrote a long reply this morning but it didnt post and now I cant remember what I wrote  :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes

Are the plug caps making a good contact to give a good spark...coils and plugs good?


It sounds like already mentioned - fuel starvation, air filter, blocked carbs etc. or you're a real fat bastid buuut apparently only 10 stone :lol


Weird one  :book


From what I can tell the spark plugs caps and coils are good

Kinked fuel line.
Blocked fuel filter.
Fuel tap switched fully on?



Nope,


Will see what state the fuel filter is later on today when I get home from work :)


And definitely  :lol 



I took the fuel filter out and it was quite dirty...  :\  so i blasted it out, and i have ordered a new one should be here Thursday/Friday  :D


I noticed that the fuel pump wasn't "clicking" when the tank was off, so I took it apart, all looked ok, hooked up to the battery and it spewed out some fuel with tiny bits of debris ??rust??cleaned and then noticed that the wire connector was very "used" so it's taped up for now  :lol
I brought a KandN Recharge kit, cleaned and oiled the air filter :) all nice and red  :b


This morning i made some progress  :D  it made it to 110 before dying, so i must be on the right track?  :rollin


You're certain its not restricted with the Yamaha restrictors

Oh wow, that's cool, I never knew about them :eek  But i'm 100% sure I didnt see anything like them in the carbs when they were cleaned  :D


Thanks,


Tom

« on: 10 August 2015, 10:56:44 am »

Well I had mine wired directly wired to my battery as back then I didn't want to splice into the sidelights or the ignition and put more load on those wires (although it would only be small) and I used to charge my things whilst stationary with the ignition off. :D
But you would beable to get away with splicing into the sidelights and just leaving the on/off button on?  :)



Yeah, this is what I've done already to directly power the camera, and isn't working so well.
However, I was hoping by going down the relay route, there would be negligible power drain on the sidelight circuit, it would merely turn on/off the lead direct from the battery. With all the power coming direct from the battery, there should be issue with overloading stuff.

I would say that it should work, but I have never tried it, as I haven't needed to get that technical  :rollin

I think you should go with the rear light to trigger the relay, rather than the front, as then it would keep the wires tidy :) (because everyone loves a tidy boot  :lol ) and everything will be in the same place.

And the waterproof socket works quite well, like I said, I've had mine for 2 years+  8)   just make sure you close it up again  :lol


The only thing I found is the boxes dont like to be thrown about so use the cable ties, one to keep the usb in-place, and two to keep the box from knocking about. (had one in my zx9r and that lasted 5 seconds because it wasnt secure... :rollin ).

Hi Arfa,

I brought a USB charger around 2 years ago, still working today, and my fazer was mainly stored outside.

I brought this (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171388498197) I found the best way was have the button under the seat, and the usb socket was perfect size to fit just below the top yoke on the right hand side, i haven't got a pic of mine but see the pic below for where i placed it. It was a squeeze but it didn't budge after, and it was perfect for a tank bag or anything mounted on the handlebars :)



Thanks,

Tom

Sure it's not the Rev limiter??  Never tried mine that hard :(
Maybe I should!!  :)

I wasn't aware that they had a rev limiter :S

Have you taken the plates back out?  :lol

100% there are no plates in there  :lol

Have you taken the plates back out?  :lol
Or even tried changing up from 3rd  :lol


Any gear after 3rd it does it, but it is near enough at 100 every time so I can put it in 6 th and go from 30 to 100 no problem, today when it was happening I pulled the clutch and reved and it was still sounding like it was dying and I was unable to redline until my speed dropped...
Sounds like it's restricted. There's two types of restrictor,the after market washers and the Yamaha restriction through the carbs
The carbs were never restricted, and I restricted it with the plates for my mate myself.
Cleaning the carbs is one thing, having them balanced can help "a lot" although i doubt that's the main problem.


Don't rely too much on the filter being spotless, we've had some odd weather this year, mainly the tail end of other countries sand storms, i know this 'cos my K&N was noticeably dirty after 700 miles.



It does kind of hint at some sort of restriction by the sound of things, from earlier posts on here that sounds like a similar speed where the engine tends to run out of puff.


Have you ever noticed any hissing when opening the petrol tank cap, there'sa small possibility the tank breather could be blocked causing a fuel restriction?


If you really had 155mph out of it before then congratulations, 'cos you once had the fastest FZS600 in the country!  ;)
The carbs are balenced, and the the bottom end is amazing, a zx10r struggles to keep up round roundabouts/twisteys ... Until around 60... Haha :L

I'll take the filter out and give it a clean then :) see what happens

And the tank pressure is good, I checked when I saw that in red98s post  :lol

And thanks haha obviously that's was clock speed rather than gps  :\
155?
Pah I say!

And pah again!

Besides that, clearly you know about engines and are experiencing a problem, but I wouldn't expect it to get any faster in 3rd!

Clock speed :) and it did take a while to get there but it used to pull to 140 and then slowly build up speed :) but it really helps with a lower faring and being 10 stone  :b
And she wants to go slightly more in third but "runs out of puff"

Soured for the long post but thanks for your help so far guys  :D

Thanks,
Tom

We're the carbs changed as well?


Air filter okay?


How long have you had the bike?


Is it possible that it was previously restricted?


Has it ever gone over 110mph?


Hi Darrsi,


The carbs are the original, they were cleaned around about 6 months ago.


The Air filter is good, KandN, had it since i owned the bike 3 years ago, was cleaned about 2000 miles ago.


I sold the bike to a good mate on 33bhp restrictions, so we put the plates in, and then brought it back off him around about a month ago. I was sitting around for 8 months, and he had only done around 3000 miles on the bike.


Yes, I have had 155mph out of it before selling it to my mate.


Thanks,


Tom

FZS600 Fazer / Hitting a invisible brick wall
« on: 07 August 2015, 01:23:23 pm »
Hi Guys,

My bike is a Fazer 600 99 plate, unsure on the mileage on the engine but the bike has done 49,600 miles

I've read tonnes and tonnes of posts for several weeks now, (even the whole 43 pages of Red98's which I thoroughly enjoyed...) but nothing is quite like mine, so here it goes :)

When accelerating hard from "0 to 100 real quick" the bike pulls perfectly, until I get to 101mph (in 3rd) and then I hit an imaginary brick wall... :wall But its not like I shunt forward or anything, its like i've ran out of power. If I hold the throttle wide open it will eventually pick up speed, but it would take atleast 30 seconds to get to 110mph. When this almighty wall has hit me, the whole bike feels like it is out of sync, almost like a Harley :rollin and it also sounds similar to a vtwin apparently (mate on a zx10r rode next to me so I could show him).

When the bike is hot it is around 85-90mph when I am greeted with this wall, and it doesn't matter what gear I am in...

I replaced the engine for a known working one (roughly between 20,000-25,000, due to the whole engine overheating and also loosing the second gear... and the issue is still there  :\

The Carbs are clean and run perfectly and the Coils have the correct ohmage.


Please help  :D  Im loosing the plot haha

Ofcourse this is all done on private roads, and this isn't a big deal... but it would be nice to know what's happening and I was hoping to get onto Brands Hatch on the 26th :o


Any help would be appreciated  :thumbup


Thanks,


Tom

Hi Guys and Girls,


I thought I should join up because I am pretty much reading this forum everyday... and I have a Fazer  :lol


I'm only young, 22 in 4 days  :D but I have had a few bikes...  :rolleyes


YBR 125 12 plate - great little starter bike, but was nicked a year and a half after passing my test :'(
Bandit 600 98 plate - blew up pretty much a week after I brought it...  :rollin
FZS 600 99 plate - amazing bike always had a smile on my face :b But I thought it was time to change
ZX9R 900 00 plate - This was a very nice sporty bike but there was the issue with it constantly breaking down on me :\
XJ6 Diversion F 600 14 plate - Wonderful bike, not very comfy though, the seats on the newer bikes are getting smaller... so my skinny ass just gets numb  :lol 
FZS 600 again :D - I sold the bike to a mate 2 years ago, to get the Ninja, but my mate has ruined it... so I have ended up here ;)


Soooooo anyway, sorry about telling you my life story, hope to be a part of your group soon  8)


Thanks,


Tom
