FZ6 / Fazer / Throttle sensitivity
« on: 07 July 2020, 08:00:01 am »
The throttle on my 08 Fazer needs to be turned a lot more than my 02 Fazer to get the same power. Makes my 02 Fazer feel faster, anyway to change this so I don't have to turn it so much? Thanks.

Does this problem happen with the 2008 fazer abs model? Ive just bought one so would be good to know and maybe prevent it happening again. Thanks.

Sorry to hear about your problem matey but it's not too uncommon all the info you need is here http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php?topic=92.0 and here http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php?topic=22656.msg261329#msg261329 Have a good read the latter has a copy of the tech bulletin in the thread.  From what your saying you are going to need a new sprocket shaft  :(  come back if you've got any questions :)


I'm not sure what your garage is telling you ref 17- 16mm these are easy to get hold of in the UK and the thread isn't 17mm it's 17.5mm which is also easy to obtain in the UK.  I hope he isn't charging you storage?  If he is I'd get your bike back and go elsewhere.



He did say what he ordered cost about 20quid from china, where could he have got it from over here?


I dont feel like this bike will be getting fixed so im looking at buying a 04 fazer 1000 with 29k on it, would that bike have the same issue? I could get a fazer 600 again and if i replace the 9mm with the 12mm does that eliminate the problem completely?



Thanks for all the replies/help guys.

Hi guys I've looked about and seen this issue seems to be quite common. I was on the way home on the motorway the other day and lost all drive, before that the home was making like a buzzing noise which I guess was that.

Now the garage has had a look at it and told me the thread is fucked. He has had to order a 17mm and 16mm tap/die, 17mm being from China as he said it's hard to find so I'll have to wait a month before I will know if it can be fixed. If the 17mm doesn't work he is gonna try and go down a size to the 16mm.

Other than that what are my options? Bike has done 36k and I'm surprised this has happened as it's not that many miles and I'd expect better from Yamaha. This also makes me not want to buy another Fazer incase it happens again,which is a shame because they are sick bikes.
 
If what he is trying doesn't work what should I do with the bike? Now I need to try and find a new used bike asap for work :(

FZS600 Fazer / Re: Rear disc hot
« on: 31 October 2019, 05:38:37 pm »
Using pads that come with the caliper, not sure what they are. I can turn the wheel by hand yes. I went to 2 different garages, one of them said you better watch out it could go on fire and the other said it's fine they are meant to get that hot. Strange though that my rear gets hotter than front.

Wheel seems fine, had new chain and sprockets done few days ago and all seems good. Just took the bike to a garage and he reckons the caliper might need rebuilding as it's binding slightly. Thought there might of been an easier fix :(

It does only take a slight touch of the rear pedal for the brake to kick in quite sharply which I'm not sure if that's normal?

FZS600 Fazer / Rear disc hot
« on: 30 October 2019, 07:48:41 am »
Just had a rear caliper (thou caliper) fitted to my 600. The rear disc is getting warm without even using the rear brake. Yesterday you could have probably cooked on it it was that hot after a bit of braking.

When the thou caliper was fitted there were no washers fitted like I've read some have done in other threads, could that be the issue? Any help would be appreciated, cheers.

FZS600 Fazer / Fazer rear caliper
« on: 26 October 2019, 01:53:47 pm »
Hi guys,


Just had a Fazer thou rear caliper fitted to my fzs600. The rear brake is very sensitive, only have to rest my foot on the pedal to get sharp braking, is that normal? Also the rear brake light doesn't activate until the brake lever is pressed quite hard, if I press it that hard though it will probably lock the rear. Is there anyway of fixing this? Just had this caliper fitted at a garage. Cheers.
