I have taken it back to the garage, and they are fixing it free of charge, but it seems to be a recurring problem.
I am looking for a different one now . . . . Shame cos I loved that Fazer . . . .
good news sbs........let us know the outcome

Dead Eye, sorry to contradict but i can most definately recomend that you DONT use the halfords product, I used it on my Triumph and it peeled straight off, the pipes were shotblasted, degreased and had several thin coates applied but the pain was useless. On the fazer ive used the Plasticote barbecue paint and its worked a treat with no greying as yet, two years on. i seem to remember i got it from Bouyes or Wilkinsons.
ah yes .....i had the same problem,never had any problems with plasticote products....i would try wilkinsons first for best price.........i too am not a big fan of halfords

Mine has just the stock end can, no mods at all . . . . . .
In this video took earlier today, you can see how it doesn't wanna go, UNLESS you rev it above 7k, and even then it's not happy about it (and you get to hear me swear at it lots . . . . . . .)
Earlier on today the throttle was fully open, in first gear, clutch totally engaged, and my speed?? 15MPH!!!! I had lorries overtaking me. 
good video SBS.....fully understand you swearing .....i did that at one point,made me feel better but didnt cure the problem  .......your stutter is worse than mine and iam certain yours is a carb problem....if you had new carbs fitted at a garage, if i was you i would take it back,any deacent garage would`nt have returned the bike to you in that condition
I WAS HOLDING UP LORRIES!!!!! 
Swearing at your bike when it won't work!!

try taking it back to the basics, if Ade got his sorted by larger jets (due to K&N filter and poss non stock exhaust) and the fact that Sam has had NEW carbs (which would have standard jets) have either Red or Sam got any form of mod to air filter, air box or can??
it sounds like you both have stutters at higher revs trying for max torque which really sounds like they are leaning out (too much air rather than too little fuel)
only my thoughts, good luck guys
clayt74.....this has been in the back of my mind since day one....the only non standard part on my bike is the AIR FILTER,changed just before the stutter started...cheap pattern one but it did look like standard,i cant understand why it would make so much difference but there was a chap on here who had the same fault,he put the origanal filter back in and solved the problem

welcome to the club..............
dont worry about the posts not making sense....they dont make sense to us either  ........iam still struggling with my stutter and am 90% sure its a carb problem,if you`ve been reading the thread you will know what ive been doing to try to trace the fault.....ive rebuilt the carbs with some second hand items and this has made no difference also checked the electrics and found nothing wrong.......as your a newbie i can strongly recomend that you get yourself a haynes manual you can find them on ebay.....manual no 3702....
start a new thread describing the fault and also what you have already tried and we shall try to help 
good luck matey ........let us know how you get on .........
Well, to add my 5 eggs or whatever, I can tell you now, I have just had a whole new set of carbs put in, so that may not be what is causing it.
I do have a haynes manual, however, all of that doesn't make any sense to me either, and I don't have a garage to leave a project half finished, cos I live in London.
I am going to be going to Oval Motorcycle Centre though.
If I find anything, I will let you know.

Hi Guys,
I ALSO have a stuttering Fazer. I have been reading these threads, and to be honest, as a newbie biker, they don't make any sense to me cos I don't know what most of the things actually are.
Has anyone worked out why this is happening yet??
Mine has been in and out of the garage over the past 7 months with this problem, has had new air inlets, new seals, new rubber tube bits, and now, a new carb. STILL, bloody stutters, and I am running out of money.
I am tempted to sell, scrap etc etc cos I am at my wits end with this. It hasn't been a reliable bike and with only 26,000 on the clock I am incredibly disappointed.
Any advice (in basic newbie language) would be greatly appreciated. . . .

red. went to have a closer look at that thou?....its in decent nick!!...and only bit of damage i can find is wiring ripped out of ignition?...right fkn mess they made!!...(he never mentioned that ?)....to me it looks like hes had someone have a go at hot wiring it??..because he told me that when it was nicked he,d left keys in?>>and thats why insurance wouldnt pay him out?????? hes had it from new and paid cash for it!!..seen reciept??....chkd over docs?..everthing ok there?....ive made him a offer of....£ 575.00...and he,s going to lett me know in morning?...i recon using second hand parts, i could poss fix it up for around...£350>>400....what you think??.... oh he showed me all reciepts etc to it, and totaled cums to over £1550...over last 10yr......he was going to sell it before he got it nicked cus he got arthritis and couldnt handle it any more!!...and was asking £2200....
i think your a little low with your estimate of £350/450....i would put another £100 on that,hard to tell without seeing the bike though....if hes thinking about your offer your not far away from what he wants and iam thinking this is still a good buy.......but...............the only thing we dont know is if the toerags who stole it have done any enging damage .........see what he says when he gets back to you and dont forget to let us know

ok....this might sound a bit silly.....have you disconnected the two breather tubes on the bottom of the tank ? once you have removed the front bolt just slacken the rear one to allow it to move,lift the tank to about 20/30 degrees and this will give you enough room to release the breather tubes you can then lift the tank a bit more and then disconnect the wireing for the petrol gauge,tank should go to 90 degrees but as already said not when the tank is full

have a look at the throttle cables...they should have a little bit of slack at the bars,if there two tight just a slight movement on the throtle might be causing the surge

at £750 that does sound like a good deal,hard to tell without seeing the bike...always worth a polite low offer to start as you can always increase it.....luggage would be handy but not a fan of secondhead helmets .......good luck and let us know how you get on
6265
« on: 30 May 2012, 09:20:24 pm »
mmmmmmmmmmmm.......£750 sounds good starting point  ...shame you cant start it but another haggling tool,dont know a great deal about thou engines but i have see lots of high milers.so would`nt worry about that....old bloke got it,another good point in my book,only used it once a week to collect pension from post office and fsh....i would go for that , parhaps start dealings at £500 ....

yes,had it a couple of weeks now...54 plate,just over 20,000 miles paid £2200 for it private sale and was advertised for £2800...lots of hard haggling and got myself a bargain...theres a piccie of it in the thou corner...........how many miles on the stolen bike ? is it a private sale ?.....add up the cost of replacement parts before you put in an offer and add a little on top because its bound to need a few other bits....also check the log book to see if its been recorded as cat c or d (insurance write off ) as this will affect the price,are you able to start and ride the bike without the keys ?.....if your not sure how to just ask the local toerags they will get it going in a jiffy ....could be a good buy.........oh one final thing....go in low as you can always go up but not down

red!,...i never travel anywhere without a tin of quick fix tyre rep!!...i use wynns only £4.00 tin...saves the old pins!!...also use a tyre plugger kit!!....fixed car tyres with that as well?.....and they will fitt under your seat???????? ..
yes good idea....might invest in a tin for the thou.......tyres need replacing anyway so better now than any other time ....had i been further away form home it would of been a right pain,at least getting a puncture at work i had somewhere secure to leave it overnight
