Hi all,
On my way home from work on Thursday my red beast started playing up, it's getting to about 60mph at about 6/7k and the engine is straining as I'm pulling the throttle and the noise from the exhaust is like that noise when you let go of a balloon. I thought it might be crap or a bit of water in the fuel so I've flushed it through with fuel cleaner and also given the carbs a good blasting with carb cleaning spray, the air filter is clean and there is no pinching to the fuel pipes, I also checked the spark plugs and they look fine but I'm still getting the problem, as I'm no mechanic I'm at the end of any ideas that I think it might be so any help or advice is very much appreciated and needed 😁👍
I was thinking that maybe there is something stuck in the exhaust but then surly if there was wouldn't that noise and straining happen from the start rather than just at higher speeds?
Also something I just noticed today as I was working on it that the rev counter when trying to simulate the issue while on the paddock stand would go a bit crazy just after the straining starts happening so could it be an electrical fault or could that just be due to the engine struggling causing the counter to not be able to read properly and just confusing the system?

I'm so tempted as I'm looking for a project bike, but I will have to approve it through the wife first because I have that problem of her thumb print in the centre of my forehead

My other pet hates are the continued use of mobiles & other distracting devices
mobile phones are bad enough but it's the vape device people that I find just as bad. It's bad enough that they look like they are sucking off C3-P0 from Star Wars but they spend more time focused on acting like a steam train than they do focusing on where they are fecking going, nearly got smashed into this morning because he filled the car with thick vaper he couldn't see out of his front screen 'FOCCING BELLEND'.

Welcome to the  mad house. Welcome to the "font of all Fazer knowledge". Yes the expression "good condition" can be very misleading. Hope you didnt pay too much for what is after all an 18 year old bike?
As for tyres my choice is MichelinPR3s-the later PR4 version isnt made in a size to fit the front wheel & although some owners "mix & match" tyre types I always use the same type/make F & R. There are good tyre deals out there to be had but if buying online dont forget to factor in cost of fitting,balancing etc.Get rid of those old tyres fast!
The mileage on your bike shouldnt be a problem engine wise provided it has had oil & filter changes.Use any good 10W-40 semi-synthetic brand.
As regards fork seals, brake discs,brake pads & carb rubbers etc have a look at reputable suppliers websites like M&P Swansea, Wemoto,etc. ebay is a useful starting point.
I would seriously consider replacing all the brake rubber hoses & master cylinder internals also the brake piston seals-no good going if you cant stop!!
Others will no doubt provide help & information-this is the best bike forum Ive been on.
A Fazer in good condition is a thing of joy so just be prepared for a bit of credit card bashing! Good luck & put a pic up on here when you can.
 What he said, the only difference is my prefferance of tyres are Bridgestone Battlax BT023 front and rear as they have a nice balance of grip and slow ware

Someone might have transferred a 2002 plate onto the FZ6 and sold the bike on and he didn't notice the number plate was older than the bike?
That is possible but the impression I got from his attitude was that he was just an arrogant prick that doesn't know his arse from his elbow

Check the free-play is within the specified tolerance. (can't remember what it is off the top of my head).
Just looking at my owners manual and it states "Normal slack is approximately 30 ~ 45 mm."

So the bike has developed a knocking-"feel" from the chain, and it gets worse whenever I turn hard left/right in slow speeds.
Could it be anything other than the need for a new chain?
Yep you've got a tight spot, if you can hear it while riding the chain has had it.
it could also be that your chain is too slacked, try giving it a good clean & adjust it properly as well as lubing before going down the route of getting new chain & Sprockets.

Thank you, I knew I was correct this guy was making out he used to own a 2002 FZS600 with fuel injection but the fuel injected model which was the FZ-6S not the FZS600 which came along in around 2004.
Cheers I can put my mind at rest now as he really got me questioning it
Aye certainly not I would have thought, unless it had been converted! I wouldn't see the point in a conversion though, I'd personally just go out and buy a ready made FZ6 
that would take a lot to convert as its a different engine entirly in the FZ6. I reckon if he did own a fuel injected Fazer then he has his dates mixed up and does not know the stages the 600 fazer went through: FZS600 Box eye to FZS600 Fox eye and then the FZ6 with the R6(ish) engine.
Anything is possible if you chuck enough money at it, with this what's the point it would cost a small fortune and you'd get no gain. The crab bike will out perform the early injection bikes in all areas except emissions.
So true, thats one of the reasins why I bought my fazer rather than the FZ6 I saw, plus the FZ6 was more expensive

All FZS models (600 and 1000) are carbs.
FZ6 and FZ1 are both injected.

Need to put my mind at rest as I got into a bit of a tet-a-tet regarding the enging on the fazer 600 yesterday.
So is a 2002 FZS600 a Carb engine or Fuel injected?

Upgraded Sprocket nut: http://www.wemoto.com/bikes/yamaha/fzs_600_fazer_sp/00/picture/sprocket_front_retaining_nut_kit_oem/
You can probably get other stuff you need on that site as well, otherwise I shockingly found evilbay to be very helpful finding parts I've needed.
Thanks mate, that's cheaper than expected, was so annoyed to find the original sprocket nut and tab on it when I thought everyone would of changed them when Yamaha released an upgraded nut
Mine never had the new nut either, I was just so lucky that when I changed my chain and sprockets a few months back that I never lost any of the thread as the old nut was hanging off and the lock washer was all chewed up.

Welcome to the mad house. Thats a nice looking beast you've bought youself. As for the issues you've stated, yes you are correct in going through the basics of air filter, Spark plug and carb checking. if the bike had been stood for a long while before you bought it then deposits can build up and cause blockages which can then cause dips in power output. On your next few fuel fillups it might be worth pouring some Fuel and carb/injector cleaner in the tank.
