FZS600 Fazer / Vibration when slowing down
« on: 21 July 2013, 12:22:09 pm »
Hi all, I've just returned from a trip to France on my 1999 FZS600, and it performed faultlessly over 800 miles of great riding. It didn't even use a drop of oil!
The only problem if any is this:
Following new tyres being fitted before I went I felt the bars were slightly off straight so I adjusted the rear alignment accordingly, all great! I only rode it 8 miles from my mates house back home and checked the chain, and it was too tight following our alignment altering. I re did it all and it was fine.
BUT: I've noticed that when slowing down, especially at lower revs with no throttle, I seem to get some vibration through the bike. It also seems to vibrate at around 70mph but clears at 75 to 80 which I think it may have always done though.
Has anyone got any ideas on this? The chain is well lubed and seems free enough on the links, and I've checked the sprocket nuts for tightness too.
Just a note too: all of you check your throttle position sensor! It's easy to do and made a vast difference to low speed riding and low down acceleration.
Many thanks!
