Can anyone point me in the right direction? problem with the bike misfiring, so looking to change the plugs and leads. 2004 bike still on original set up so a change might sort the problem, checked coils and resistance is fine.

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / She wont start
« on: 15 May 2018, 08:30:07 pm »
I would welcome any input on my predicament. I went to go out for a spin last week I had about half a tank of fuel and I added a small amount of redex (about 40ml)  then rode to the local garage 1/2 a mile away  and topped up , it was my  first time out  this year due to being busy, anyhow my 2004 fzs1 started ok as it always has but sounded a bit lumpy  as I backed it out of my garage it stalled then took a few goes to restart I put it down to old fuel in the line and set off to top up. it started ok after I had fuelled up but continued to run a bit ropey, loosing power then picking up again,a couple of miles later the problem got worse then the bike backfired a couple of times and stopped, and stayed stopped  I got rac recovery out to take me home.  when it was trying to start kerbside it sounded like it was only running on 2 cylinders and the exhaust was blueish. I had last started the bike about 6 wks earlier and ran it for 15mins , it was fine
my mate and I stripped out the carbs and cleaned them 2 jets looked to be blocked, the fuel pump looks to be working ok, doesn't look to be the head gasket  ,took the rad cap off  and it seems ok. Not sure which way to head next  without getting a garage to pick it up and start paying :'(

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Exup valve spacer
« on: 08 July 2016, 01:28:00 pm »
Hello
Im trying to get a replacement for the spacer that goes on the inside of the exup blade where it goes into the hole at the back, I have just rang my local Yam dealer  £32 + vat...whaaaaaaat!!!! for a spacer!. If you bought all the parts of yam dealers to build a bike it would cost millions.  so if anyone has one to sell or knows a cheaper outlet I would be grateful to hear of it.  The bike starts and runs fine without it, I just don't know if it would do any long term damage to the valve.

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Occasional problem changing gear
« on: 04 August 2015, 08:00:46 pm »
For a while now I seem to have a problem changing down gears if I have brought the bike to a stop without down changing as I slowed, when im stopped and I try to change down it will go down to about 3rd them wont go further without a bit of jiggling about. Other than that the gearbox is fine, no missed/ sticky  gears  and changes down fine if I change down as im slowing. Is this a common problem? or are dark clouds forming on my horizon ?   You can tell that ive just had a week in Scotland , still looking for bloody dark clouds...

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Exup tale of woe
« on: 07 August 2012, 06:55:20 pm »
Due to me getting the 7g error message I decided to service my exup at the weekend and it looks like ive f*cked it up , when Id fitted it I turned the ignition on,no probs so I went for a ride a few miles down the road the 7g error comes up again , went home stripped it down and refit a couple of times to no avail.
When its all fitted it rotates so far then tightens up and on inspection when I held a straight edge to it its got a slight bevel from the back side bending up. I went to the Yam dealers in Chorley and spoke to a mechanic he told me if its bent its goosed throw it away,then said my best option was to throw it away take the cables of and seal the hole with a bolt,job done. I said as far as I was aware this would have an averse effect on the bikes performance he shrugged and said my options were all expensive.
Rang another dealer just to price a new valve £282+ vat   Shit !  Any advice or better still reasonably priced spare valves would be most welcome
