Looking on Fowlers website no part numbers (or prices) are available for the frames on any of the FZS600 years.
From memory though, the frame is identical through all years. The differences were related to the front fairing brackets and swingarm that had different mounting points for the fairing and chainguard. The frame though was unchanged.
Gnasher will be along shortly to confirm this though i guess.

Thanks. I tried those hex nuts, they are really stiff a few days back. To undo turn anticlockwise?
yes, normal bolts

mirrors, infil panels and thats about it to get to teh 4x hex bolts that hold the fairing on. You will need to disconnect the lights as you remove it too..

Ignore the the brake caliper comment. They will just bind or tick, excessive brake dust, you'll feel resistance/loss of performance and possible blueing of the disc/s in extreme cases. What you're describing is drive/transmission issues.
 (for now) as the OP has said at a constant speed the noise isn't there , just when accelerating. If it was the calliper the noise would potentially be different as speed increases but wouldn't stop when you stop accelerating. As the noise appears to only be there as speed is being increased, you need to look at things that are only affected by increased load. Chain, sprockets, output shafts and alignment of all of these things (wheel alignment). Looking at brakes would be VERY low on the list.

Whilst most people on here are probably thinking, WTF hsa this got to do with me as i dont go anywhere near there, once other councils see the revenue Hackey get, they will bring in charging in their areas too across the country

Also bike seems to have a noise from front end like a bearing despite all wheel bearings replaced. Starts from about 15-20mph onwards makes no difference what gear it's in of if clutch is in or out wondered if anyone has had similar issue?
Thanks
Common problem is tyre wear on certain brands of tyres. You can check its not the tyre by doing one of two things. One is free, the other costs a new tyre. Try removing the front mudguard and going for a quick spin. Common culprit is actually wind noise between the mudguard and tyre.

Talk about reviving an old thread!
Excellent work and well done on getting there in the end.

Is this after 5-10 mins of riding?
Does it seem like all cylinders failing?
When it happens, turn the engine off and open the fuel cap gently and listen to see if there is a very gentle hiss. If my thinking is right, when you turn on the ignition again, the fuel pump will run (it wouldnt normally do more than a single click after just being turned off). If you get the hiss and pump running, time to check the fuel pipes / breather hoses are not kinked.

Could still be a blocked main jet

you will have lots of fun getting it running right with cone filters. Most who have tried have wished they never bothered.

loosen the drain screws on cylinders 3&4 to see if you get any fuel out?
When you cleaned the carbs, did you blow through all the galleries with compressed air to get all the crap out? Did you replace the fuel filter?
Chances are, as i have had it before, dislodged crap has blocked the carbs completely from getting fuel or the jets are blocked again. If it starts firing on all 4 at higher (above 5k) revs then my money is on blocked jets. If it still wont run on all 4 then its blocked flue galleries.
All of the above assumes that the coils are correctly connected to the correct cylinders. #1&4 on the left coil, #2&3 on the right coil.

@BBROWN1664: No reactions from the dash lights@TOM VR46: Interesting post, thx. So checked the operation of the sidestand switch and got continuity with sidestand up, so all good. Clutch switch also fully functional.
Starting to suspect the issue is related to the Starter Circuit Cut-off Relay as this is connected with the fuel pump that suddeny got silent (no more ticking sound when turning the key). See if I can manage to check it and order a used one on Ebay. Will post the outcome when part has arrived.
No reaction from the dash lights suggests the start switch circuits do not think the start switch is being pushed. The dash lights will come on if the bike is in gear with the side stand down etc and when everything is working normally (you just dont see them as you relase teh button quickly) you need ot investigate the wiring diagrams relating to the starter switch. Maybe check the main fuses again.

Check the leads are on teh correct plugs. From the left hand coil they should go to plug 1&4. From the right hand coil, to plug 2&3.
Sounds like he plugged them back incorrectly after fitting new plugs.
Checked that and based on the labels they are in right order
Dont go by labels, they may have been put on incorrectly. Did you check that the HP leads for #1 & 4 went to the same coil?

put the bike on the main stand, put the side stand up and pullthe clutch lever in. Make sure the bike is in neutral and then press the starter button. Do all the dash lights (oil etc) come on when you press the start button now?

thank for the response
have tried all that,soaked in carb cleaner over nite.must be really badly blocked
can you see daylight through yours when clean
think i might have to renew mine.been in there 20 years
regards
Remember that one of the three in each carb is actually a blank and is blocked.

I tried sitting on the 700 but found it a bit small. Probably fine compared to the FZS600 but the main bike i had been riding before buying the 900 was a Tiger 900 so used to the bigger bikes.

I guess you have seen is mostly black engine/s but with random parts of it in silver (eg the cylinder barrels).
Either black engines with silver cylinders or silver with black. Thanks all - dropped the idea of getting an FZS1000 for now and gone for an MT-09 Tracer instead.

The yamaha manuals are in the download section to give you the official yamaha figures

put a bit of oil in the cylinder to see if its a sticky/knackered ring.
Could be dirt/crap stopping one of the valves sealing properly too.

you could drain the carbs off first but the jets may be blocked anyway.
Give it a squirt of easy start to see if it runs on that - this will prove its fuel related rather than ignition related.

yes - my list should have said 5 pipes
2 carb overflow
