Have you checked plug caps, mine died at 40k miles, was a different bike when they were replaced.

Hi m8 I have just got a new set this weekend. but while I've got the carbs off I'm going to strip out the jets n give em all a good blast thru with carb cleaner and give them a general clean as when I drained them the petrol was full of tiny black bits. I put the fazer on the bay last Sunday n was looking at ninjas but I gave the fazer a clean n started it n for that first minute or two running on the choke apart from the slight misfire it sounded lovely n then thought I can let it go for peanuts so took it off eBay n decided to keep it so I'll keep you all posted

Did you drain the petrol out the carbs as you may have to tilt the carbs to get one of the cables on n you don't want petrol going on the diaphragms as it affects the rubber I think hath

Go to additional options on the post window and click the + sign.

One cylinder ???? sounds like a valve problem maybe an exhaust valve burned or clearance to tight.

Take off the cam cover and first check the valve clearance.

Then again how do you know the replacement carbs are ok.

What way are you counting the cylinders when sitting on the bike. Is your 1 on the left or on the right????


Hi m8 sitting on the bike its on the left...starts on the choke ok but off the choke it misses but when i turn it off then restart it starts perfect....ive only got rmt's word that they were ok and i specifically asked if there were any running issues and he said no so i put them straight on and its displaying exactly the same symptoms as b4 but the only difference is that if i put the choke on when its warm now it will run and not cut out where as b4 it would chugg and then cut out i dont know if that means anything...
cant upload vid as its too big

Hi m8...tank off, seat off. Airbox covers each side and the panels next to those the one with the seat lock in both sides i took the battery off but u may not need to... now fully undo the clips from rubbers to carbs and behind the panels below the seat is one 10mm bolt into each side off the airbox just slacken these off dont fully take out. At the top of airbox maybe around the bar which coils filter and pump are is another 10mm bolt slacken this off too... now if you can get another pair of hands and between you slide the whole lot back carbs and airbox together make sure you support carbs maybe a bungee under them as they only supported by airbox now you can get to the hex bolts on the rubbers n putting em back is the reversal of what u just done hth

Highly unlikely the tensioner is a problem, mostly like a wearing chain or valve clearance to big.

Cam Chains like drive chains do not wear uniformly they have loose and tight spots. This causes a light rattle especially on startup and the only know cure is to replace the chain.

What mileage is on the engine?

The tensioner is easy enough to remove if you still want to.

Remove the alternator/Generator cover.
Rotate the the crank anticlockwise until the T mark lines up with where the top and bottom crankcases meet.
Some will say you do not need to do this, but it is the best position to have the chain in when removing the tensioner.

Do not rotate the crank when the tensioner has been removed

Remove the 10mm bolt at the end of the tensioner. There is a ball bearing within the bolt, don't lose it.
Don't lose the copper washer on the bolt
Remove the springs (one is inside the other)
Loosen the two allen bolts and carfully remove the tensioner.  There is another ball bearing inside in the tensioner don't lose that either.
If your lucky the gasket will remain intact, if not replace it. It is probably best to replace it anyway.
Lift the ratchet and push back the tensioner.
Oil it up and with the ratchet held off the tensioner push the tensioner in and out of the housing a few times.

Replacment is more or less the reverse order of the removal.
Tensioner pushed back into the housing
Gasket
Tensioner body
Tighten the Allen bolts to 10Nm
Ball bearing
Springs
Push them in to the tensioner (You will hear the ratchet clicking over the ratchet teeth)
Put Ball Bearing into cap Bolt and copper washer on the bolt.
Put it on the tensioner and tighten it to 20Nm

Now rotate the engine slowly two full turns. You will probably here the ratchet taking up a little more slack.

You might as well check the valve clearances as you have the Alternator/Generator cover off if not

Put the Alternator/Generator cover back on and tighten the Allen bolts to 12Nm.

M8 your a life saver thanks for the info... why do i need generator cover off so i can turn engine over by hand?? And does the rocker cover need to be off to check clearances i presume yes the reason i ask this is because the mechanic said it could be down to the valve clearances the misfire but its not hard to start.... thanks again

If there were no rattles when the bike was running leave it alone  :)


Hi m8 it does rattle a bit but not enough to warrant messing with something that could poss knacker the engine

have you adjusted the idle down, or did you turn it up to compensate for the poor idle issue you have had?
try turning it down to 1200 and see how it runs... the cleaner may take a few runs to fully shift any crap.
my mechanic told me to use injector cleaner in mine after a lay up, so ive done this the other day as my bike had no been out since last October and it runs fine.


Hi m8 unless ive knocked it while f-ing about round that area no not as im aware of n good news is ive drained carbs 3 n 4, primed them n letting them soak now overnite n will fire it up tomorrow n take out for a blast hopefully cheers m8

Right folks next instalment of the misfire saga.... drained 2 carbs n knackered carb 4 drain screw so couldnt drain it so went inside just to get away from it b4 i lost it...then thought f!@#k it and put in the stp n petrol and took it out gave it a good thrash now the misfire seems to be going but the revs seem to stick on at about 1500rpm resulting in no engine braking... will this go the more i use it plus will the treatment break down the blockage while its sitting in the carbs thanks
