Title: stuttering fzs 600
Post by: red98 on 11 March 2012, 02:46:51 pm
my trusty 98 600 fazer has developed a stutter at 7/8000 rpm,i changed the inlet rubbers thinking that this was the problem as they have been split for a few years,but the stutter is still there,its a big one but a bit more gas and it pulls through,i put me carb vacuum guages on this morning and all was well,bike is well looked after and had a good service at the end of last year although the shims have never been looked at,there is a slight tap when cold but soon goes,ive owned the bike for nearly 10 years and never had a problem but with the better weather with us iam keen to sort it out.....iam going to do a compression test this afternoon but iam not expecting anything amiss,just something to cross of the list....new plugs were fitted last service but the caps are origanal so will probably treat it to a new set.....in the back of my mind iam thinking coil packs........any one else had simulaar problems ?

hi all....well i did the compression test on the fazer last night and was supprised at the results.....all cylinders were down on compression,so looks like rings or valve clearences,i didnt have time to squrt some engine oil in the bores and test again,this would have sealed any worn rings and given me an improved reading on the test,iam sure its the valve clearence as to my knowledge they have never been done,when i got the bike the bike it had 9000 miles now nearly 40000,shims should have been checked at 28000  :eek ....looks like a job for saturday morning.........

I've found valve clearances on the FZS600 to be amazingly stable. Check them by all means, but don't be surprised if they're in spec... mine still were at three times that mileage.
Nor would I expect low compression to result in those symptoms: reduced power especially at lower revs, difficulty in starting, backfiring (or even backfiring through the carb in the case of inlet valve leakage) would be more likely. If your tester has a valveless adaptor to get it to suit the small plug holes on bike engines then it will give a low reading... they're more useful for picking up on differences rather than absolute measurements.

A new set of plug caps may help, some NGK ones cleared an intermittent misfire for me, but it sounds more like the problem may be the carb slides no longer moving smoothly due to wear. My current set are giving similar results: a massive flat spot with plenty of power available again once you've coaxed it through. It's easiest to provoke by snapping the throttle fully open from cruising at 70-80mph, the sudden difference in pressure jams the slide against the grooves in the carb body and the diaphragm doesn't develop enough force to overcome the friction. Dri-Slide or even applying an 8B pencil to the grooves will relieve the problem for a while, long enough to prove the theory anyway.

thank you...thats given me something to think about...my compression tester is not the best in the world but its also not the worst.and i do as you say use it to compare cylinder pressure,and not rely on the reading to be 100% accurate,thats why i didnt put the results on here....looking at the reaults again there between 30-40% down...the bike performs too well for this to be correct.
 iam going to have a look at the cleanerces this weekend and also replace the plug caps,ive not heard of dri-slide before is that some sort of carb lube ?
 not sure on the valve on the adaptor but will look tonight.......thanks for your help

...ive not heard of dri-slide before is that some sort of carb lube ?

Just had a look for stockists and found there don't seem to be any in the UK anymore. I used to use it as a lubricant in airgun barrels many years ago. It's molybdenum disulphide suspended in a solvent and came in a can with a needle dispenser. RS do something similar:
http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/products/0558035/ (http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/products/0558035/)
... but it's in a spray can which will make it awkward to apply precisely. It's probably better to try a very soft pencil, graphite is as good a lubricant and the solvents in the spray might not be too good for the rubber components.

Hi,
my fazer 02 has just developed what sounds to be a very similar problem.
it starts fine and runs fine around town as long as im very gentle and smooth on the throttle.
as soon as i try to give it some beans it stutters/judders around 6k rpm (it almost feels like your trying to accelerate in 3 gears too high) the bike does pull through it and then feels fine but have lost confidence in overtaking.
The thing for me is this problem started just after i had given the bike a real good hosing down, so I am assuming that my prob is almost certainly the caps ( I have just pulled them all off and sprayed with WD40 but wont get to ride until after work to see if it fixes the problem)
I would definately start with caps before taking the carbs apart.

 :agree
 
  This is either electrical or fuelling, start with the easy things i.e. plugs as already mentioned.  Wait until it's dark or turn out the light in your garage lift the tank and start the bike now look for aching around the top end you may have to move around to see it and check inside the plug wells but it will be obvious. It's a common problem on high mileage bikes replace the cap/lead/plug if they are arching it may be worth changing the plugs as a matter of course and make sure the gap is correct.
 
If the above is all ok and changing the plugs does nothing start looking at the fuelling begin with obstructions in the air intake, then the filter either clean it or replace it.  Then move to the carbs looking for blocked main jet/s and emulsion tube/s and holed diaphragm/s these can be tiny and will get you the very symptoms you've got.

thanks for the replys...looks like were all thinking the same way....ive checked the clearences this morning and as mentioned by fazerider there not too far out,not been done before and bike now on 40,000 miles,results below
 
                 inlet                                      exhaust
              0.11-0.20                                0.21-0.30
 
1               0.12                                         0.20
                 0.15                                         0.20
 
2               0.11                                         0.20
                 0.11                                         0.19
 
3               0.11                                         0.19
                 0.11                                         0.19
 
4               0.12                                          0.18
                 0.13                                          0.18
 
i could go up a size (0.05)which would put me in the middle of recomended clearences (haynes manual) or go up two sizes which would put me at the top end......or the third option leave as is ......iam just on my way to local yam dealer to see what they think and also to pick up some new plug caps.....will post there answer later :rolleyes

just got back from yam dealer,got four ngk caps and 2 meters of ht lead for £20.01,£2.50 per metre for the lead,3.75 each for the caps.enquired about the price of shims and was supprised :eek  at between £4/£5 each,if you needed to replace the whole lot that would be close to £80,can you get pattern parts?
 had a word with the mechanic while i was down there,he said not to worry about the inlet clearences but it might be worth doing the exhaust,but if it was his bike he wouldnt bother.
 i asked about the stuttering and he said exactly as  mentioned on here by FAZERIDER and GNASHER ,my thanks to you both  :D ......CARBS....in particular emulsion tube,main jets and diaphram,either blocked or split...could also be moisture in the float bowls,which could be your problem CLAYT74  ;) .
  iam going to look for pattern shims and just do the exhaust valves,and then remove the carbs and give them a good clean and check over
Title: Re: stuttering fzs 600
Post by: red98 on 17 March 2012, 04:14:04 pm
wemoto can do shims at £3.58.....thats better....inless of course you know different ;)

ah................ :o :o     had a quick look at the ht leads last night,looks like they are sealed at the coil end which means if the leads are faulty ill have to replace the coils :( ....iam going to replace the caps this morning and also remove the carbs and clean/inspect....will up-date later
Title: Re: stuttering fzs 600
Post by: wannafazer on 18 March 2012, 06:51:02 pm
Interesting. I was going to change my plug caps (for the second time) and was going to do the HT leads cos it's a cheap as chips and they are 12 years old. Didn't realise they were sealed at the coil end. Assumed they'd just screw off.
Title: Re: stuttering fzs 600
Post by: red98 on 18 March 2012, 07:01:31 pm
carbs off today and given a good clean on the outside before i stripped them down,i did notice before i took them off that the throttle was`nt snapping shut like it use to,the return springs were well gummed up,difficult to see when on the bike,soon cleaned off with an air line,wd4o and an oily rag,came up realy well,took the tops off and all the diaphrams look good needles as well,then took the bowls off and removed the floats,only slight gunge in the bowls now all clean,then removed the jets,main jets were fine no problems,2 of the pilot jets were blocked,not completly but enough to restrict flow,a quick soaking and a blast with the air line soon cleared them,throttle snaps back now until i put the cables back on  :(  took them both off and gave them a blast of wd and worked them in and out a few times and refitted,problem sorted,took a while to start until the fuel reached the engine and then fired up well,think its running a bit smoother now and deffinatly picks up better on the throttle.........ive got to put all the bits and peices back on yet so could`nt go for a test ride....might do this one night in the week
  went to fit the new caps only to find they are the wrong ones (yam dealer)not long enough and the wrong angle, going to take them back tommrow  :\
 will update when its all back together and ive been on a test ride ;)

Post by: wannafazer on 18 March 2012, 07:42:44 pm
red, are you absolutely sure they're sealed cos' you said "looks like" ?  It's too dark for me to have a squint now.
Title: Re: stuttering fzs 600
Post by: red98 on 18 March 2012, 08:09:36 pm
i must admit i didnt look today,just last night in the dark,i will check tommrow when i get in,the bikes still in bits so easy to see
Title: Re: stuttering fzs 600

took the plug caps back to yamaha dealer today,got a refund no problem,according to them ngk dont list a cap for the fazer  :(  genuine yamaha caps.....wait for it....................................£53 each  :eek :eek :eek ....i came home empty handed..anyone know where i can get some caps from at a reasonable price ?
 
WANNAFAZER.......had a look at the coils when i got home,the leads are sealed to the coils so if the leads are faulty you have to replace the coil as well  :\
 
no work on the fazer tonight,might do a bit tommrow.......

Post by: clayt74 on 20 March 2012, 08:21:47 am
I think i got lucky with mine, it seems the only issue i had was a bit of water ingress into 1 of the caps. a good douse of WD40 and the symptoms were immediately gone, no matter how hard i pushed it to wot.
over the weekend i had the tank off to replace airfilter and whilst there cleaned and checked all leads and caps thoroughly as well as cleaning the seating area all around the plugs could see no proplems, I waited till dark and checked for any arcing or tracking as suggested, but could find nothing and the bike was still running a treat.
the only additional thing i did was to put some almagamating tape around where the HT leads enter the cap just as a precaution cos i ride all year round and believe prevention is better than cure.
hope yours is running sweet soon

ok.....carbs off again this morning.....45 mins start to finish....iam going to do it blindfold next time :rollin ....going to take them for sonic cleaning tommrow lunch as not too far from work.......i fitted the inlet rubbers with the carbs still on the bike,just loosened the air box removed the battery and pushed the carbs back,just enough room to squeeeeeeeeze them in....now that the carbs are off again its easy to get to the rubbers so i think ill remove them and check there seating ok before i refit the carbs.....will update when i have some news :)

Post by: Gnasher on 25 March 2012, 11:29:02 am
Then move to the carbs looking for blocked main jet/s and emulsion tube/s and holed diaphragm/s these can be tiny and will get you the very symptoms you've got.

Its all in here remove the main jets and clean do the same with the emulsion tubes they are held in by the main jets takes mins.
Title: Re: stuttering fzs 600
Post by: red98 on 25 March 2012, 11:37:16 am
morning gnasher.....yes done all that when i cleaned the carbs last weekend,didnt realy find anything to cause the stutter but good to check,a good soaking in the `sonic tank`cant do any harm and will also clean the outside :)
Title: Re: stuttering fzs 600
Post by: Gnasher on 25 March 2012, 02:05:41 pm
If the emulsion tubes are blocked it's not always easy to spot the holes are tiny and you need good light and eye's best way is with a magnifying glass.  It's also possible that the fuel/air passageways within the carb body have become blocked I've had this before and it not possible to see it you just have to blow them out.
Title: Re: stuttering fzs 600
Post by: red98 on 25 March 2012, 02:54:43 pm
ah yes this is what the `sonic clean man` has said,adding that commpressed air still may not clear it,this is what i used,thats why he reconmends the sonic clean with a 3hr soak....i like to do all the work on my bikes myself so i know exactly whats been done and what needs to be done,this will be the first time in 10yr ownership that its been fettled by someone else....ive known him for several years and know he will do a good job with back-up afterwards if i need it...ill let you know how i get on.............
Title: Re: stuttering fzs 600
Post by: red98 on 26 March 2012, 06:59:02 pm
took the carbs up to be sonic cleaned at lunch time,got a call from pete the mechanic saying he did`nt think the carbs needed the sonic clean as they were clean already,he did however notice a small brass needle guide was missing on no 1 carb i must have dislodged it when i cleaned them out myself it sits in the bottom half of the carb acting as a guide for the needle,without it petrol is just going to flood in....pete described it as pi**ing in a bucket...good description....i could have solved the stutter by cleaning the carbs but created another by loosing the guide,the part is available from yam at £25 +vat :eek ....i`ve had a look on the garage floor but cant find it,bit like needle in a haystack ,i`ll get pete to order it in the morning might get here by friday..........

a small brass needle guide

That sounds like the needle jet or was it the emulsion tube? 
Title: Re: stuttering fzs 600
Post by: thom_1991 on 26 March 2012, 09:19:18 pm
I'm sure the Yamaha price is daft but is it like the Dynojet kits which are about a £100 when you could achieve the same result buying jets, shims for needles etc yourself for sod all by comparison. There'll be more than one bike the uses Mikuni BSR33's surely?
Title: Re: stuttering fzs 600
Post by: red98 on 27 March 2012, 06:41:18 am
the brass fitting is like a top hat and is a push fit into the bottom of the carb above the main jet,if you remove the main jet and emulsion tube and look down the hole you will see it,acts as a guide,will see if i can find out its proper name.....going to order the part today...............never used a dynojet kit before so not sure what parts are included.

Sorry the point i was making (badly) is that there's no need to pay so much for a needle jet same with dynojet kit. £100 for some jets and what not, I wouldn't.

Post by: unfazed on 29 March 2012, 10:56:26 pm
I have found over the years that the pluck caps loosen on the leads and can give a bit of hesitancy and sharpness is gone.. Many wrongly assume the caps give trouble and change them when all it needs is the following: Remove the caps from the leads cut a 1/2 inch off the end of the leads and screw them back on again. Water in the carbs can also cause the issue if the bike is used in the rain a lot or stored outside in the rain. Draining the float bowls and changing the fuel filter will solve this. Water lodges in the filter as it is resting on its side and can get picked up by the carbs when it hits the power band arounf 7000 revs
The above can also cause the odd backfire when starting from cold.
Check the TPS setting especially after balancing the carbs.

thank for the tps setting tip,not touched that yet,i did trim the leads before i fitted the new caps,as you say the caps had come loose a bit with nothing to grip on,also the ends of the leads were very hard.....thanks for the advice :)

ive been thinking about buying carbs and coils off ebay if at the right price (cheap)but i would rather rebuild my origanal parts as i then know what i`ve got.....ive checked the coils with the aid of a multimeter today and all seams well,ive cleaned and inspected the carbs and got my mechanic friend to check them over thats when he noticed the missing needle jet...must have fallen out when i stripped the carbs....i cant see any reason for it not to be alright when i get the carbs back.....fingers crossed ;)
Title: Re: stuttering fzs 600

I get most of my parts from www.cmsnl.com (http://www.cmsnl.com  Great) I found them great to deal with and plenty of communication if there is a delay or out of stock. Click on search by part number and away you go. Good site for checking prices also. They cover Honda Suzuki and Kawasaki also.

Hi,
Just been on the www.cmsnl.com (http://www.cmsnl.com) website. They don't do the parts for the FZS600 only the FZS1000.
How do you know if the part is compatible for the FZS600.

evening all....bike back together today and just came back from a test ride.....its better but i have a flat spot between 5 / 6000 rpm (flat spot not stutter) and a stutter at 8000 very very brief (more like a jolt ) but it does pull through,tryed a few times and the same happens every time at the same revs...its a lot smoother now upto 5000 and it dose pull to the red line.....your thoughts  please ladies and gentlemen  :\

morning all....iam running out of ideas now...going to check the tps (throttle position sensor ) this morning,just out of interest dont think thats the problem,just something else to cross off the list...still looking on ebay for cheap parts that i can swap to identify any faulty parts,iam pretty sure the carbs are ok so looking at coils and ecu.....question,ive swaped a few ecu`s on cars and they needed to be set up using a laptop (vag com) i pretty sure the fazer is just plug in and go...anyone had anything to do with these ?
Title: Re: stuttering fzs 600
Post by: red98 on 08 April 2012, 10:30:38 am
hi...just been out to the garage to check the tps according to the haynes manual.......turn the ignition on and disconnect and re-connect the sensor wiring this puts the unit in `adjustment mode` the tacho should read 5000 rpm,if it reads 0 or 10`000 rpm the angle of the sensor is either to narrow or to wide...........mine was reading 10`000 so needed adjusting.......so iam now thinking,do you need to readjust the tps if you have disconnected the unit,as i did several times when i removed the carbs  ;) .....test ride tommrow as dinner with the out-laws today  :\

Post by: Fazerider on 08 April 2012, 11:15:01 am
How bad is the flat spot at 5/6000 rpm? That's where one is engineered in to get the bike through the noise tests. Are you on stock downpipes and can?
I hope the TPS adjustment did the trick. If not, might be worth either swapping it or at least checking the output. A meter across the lower two terminals should show a smooth variation from roughly 1kΩ to 4.4kΩ as you open and close the throttle, if the track is dirty you'll get higher or even open circuit readings at some points. No, just unplugging and replugging the TPS doesn't mean you need to go though the adjustment routine.

Yes, the ECU is pretty dumb... it doesn't need to be set up, just plugged in. Those on some vehicles have loads of sensors and injector characteristics to "learn", our carburetted engines don't have to worry about keeping those fragile catalysts alive so the only thing it'll need is another TPS position check.
Does the 8000 rpm hesitation happen regardless of throttle position? If you hold the throttle open at 4000 and just let the bike accelerate it will eliminate some possible causes of the problem 'cos the butterflies and TPS position won't be changing. An ECU or coil fault that only occurs at one particular engine speed sounds a bit unlikely... and the only other things that would be moving are the carb slides.

thanks fazerrider for confirming the ecu set up,i was pretty sure but nice to have a second opinion,standard downpipes and can,no non standard parts on the bike its as it left the factory,iam going for another test ride this afternoon as not up the outlaws now  :D  which also gives me time to check the output of the tps,iam happy that ive found something wrong that explains the fault,upto now everthing ive checked has been ok , after 40,000 miles i was expecting to find something...well done yamaha....loads of advice/tips in your last post,which i thank you for,most helpful.....will up date tonight ,i think iam getting close to solving this one ;) 
Title: Re: stuttering fzs 600
Post by: red98 on 08 April 2012, 06:57:56 pm
evening all.....been on a test ride,flat spot is still there along with the stutter at 8000  :\ ,but not as bad as it was :) .ive also done the checks on the throttle sensor.
FAZERIDER i think you may have your wires crossed ,when i put my meter across the lower 2 terminals i get a reading in reverse,using the blue and black wires ( top and bottom ) its the right way round,dos`nt realy matter as the same reading is given,i also checked the resistance range uaing the yellow and black wires ( middle and top ) results below
 
max resistance...............blue and black wires..5.41.................haynes manual..5.0 +/- 1.5k-ohms
resistance range.............yellow and black wires..0.81-4.15.......haynes manual..0.0 - 5.0 +/- 1.5k-ohms
 
so no problems there then......it is running better today and around town below 5000 taking it easy on the throttle you would`nt know the problem was there,but as soon as you hit an a-road to have some fun its back...aghhhhhhhhh
 
thanksa again for your help FAZERIDER  :)

evening all....stripped the bike down again today,carbs off and removed the inlet rubbers,there pattern parts and as good as the origanals i dont think i have a problem with these,to make sure i used a smear of instant gasket on the mating surfaces making sure they were clean and re-fitted them,when i first fitted the rubbers i eased the carbs and air filter box back and eased the rubbers out without removing the carbs,its much better to remove the carbs to fit the rubbers,its easier to clean the surfaces and to get to the securing bolts making a much better job,i also removed the petrol tap on the tank to check the gauze filter,no problems there,while i had the tank upsidedown i noticed one of the breather tubes was blocked,looked like graphite grease,i used some degreaser and some mig welding wire to clear the tube and blasted them with my comperssor and a squird of wd40 rinsing with petrol to finish off,all clear now,looked like it had been blocked for some time ,also fitted some new ngk plugs (cr9e) had one slightly loose connection on one of the coils so cleaned and tightened that up and put the bike back together.....the stutter is still there.....flat spot between 5/6000 rpm and a stutter at 8000  :\ :\ :\ 
 in the haynes manual it says that a good yamaha dealer can check ignition items off the bike such as coils,cdi and ignition control unit (which i think is the ecu ) has anyone used this service ?
 iam going to see a good friend tommrow lunchtime whos just set up his own bike workshop who worked for my local yamaha dealer to see what he thinks,might leave the bike with him to see if he can identify the problem by road testing,your thoughts please folks .....

I actually do have a set of spare downpipes - they are stainless steel (certainly dont look it anymore) but have no holes and only marginal surface rust and by this I mean it should scour brush off. Ive been meaning to get them cleaned up and put them up for sale. I also have the stock can as well, again with no faults.

I renewed the system to a) make the bike look pretty (naawwww) and b) the money was burning a hole in my pocket...

ok went to see my spanner man today,had a little chat and he suggests checking the pick-up coil he also gave me some yamaha tech data (very simular to haynes and handy to have ) in the haynes it says to check the pick-up coil you need to set your multi meter to ohms x 100 scale,i dont have that on my meter so checked it on the other settings..................2k...........0.204
                             20k.........0.21
                             200k.......00.2
 
if the coils good it should have a resistance between 189 to 231 ohms,anybody know how to convert the above figures  ?
he also suggested to remove the datatool alarm,it was fitted when the bike was new so 14 yrs old now,turned out to be a cheap one with shock sensor and voltage drop to trigger it,removed now so something else to cross of the list
 short test ride tells me the hole in the exhaust is getting bigger  :\
 
Title: Re: stuttering fzs 600
Post by: red98 on 17 April 2012, 07:02:50 pm
having trouble cheeking the pick-up coil,haynes manual says set multi-meter to ohms x 100 scale and if the readings are between 189 and 231 the pick-up coil is ok...i have not got a x100 scale on my multi-meter,i put it on 200 and it went of the scale so could be alright,if i put the meter on the next highest setting , 2000 it reads 0.204....not to sure how to convert that but would think thats 204 , which would make it a good-un....anyone else made these checks ? :)
Title: Re: stuttering fzs 600
Post by: Fazerider on 17 April 2012, 10:26:18 pm
Your meter is indeed telling you the coil resistance is 204 Ω.
I wouldn't expect the pickup coil to develop a fault that only occurs at 8000 rpm.

Did you ever try my suggestion of lubricating the carb slides? Graphite powder is widely available and, once rubbed onto the slides and the body of the carbs where each slide contacts it, should last long enough to find out whether loss of free movement is the cause of the problem.

motorcycle fuel pump problem ([url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPml6VjeXbU#[/url])=

 
Matey your diving too deep me thinks  ;)
 
The electrics on the Fazer are pretty much bullet proof if the fail they just stop working, I've never known a Fazer pick coil to cause this issue, if fact I've only known them to fail after crash impact.
 
I'm 99% certain your problem is fuel/air it is either a blocked or partially blocked jet/s worn jets and or metering needles, damaged float/s, partially jammed open starter plunger.  Strip and check everything again take your time check each jet with a magnifying glass there must be NO damage/scoring on ANY of them pay particular attention to the emulsion tubes and make sure all the jet are the correct jets i.e. size!  The check all the bleed jets/cannels within the carb body recheck the diaphragms the whole surface they often hole right on the edge where they are clamped by the cap, the whole only being expose on large throttle openings i.e. giving it a handful.  Check all the the needles are set to the same and correct height and have all the washers and ring.
 
I know you've done a lot of work here matey I'm not being funny but you've missed something, remember the needle jet!  ;) :)
 
The other thing to check is the rubber caps on the synchronizing tubes make sure they are not split I once had this on a bike that came in doing just what yours is doing!  If you have a Scott oiler check the elbow they don't last more than a few years.  Also check every gasket and seal make sure the carbs are seated fully and squarely in the intake rubbers misfires at large throttle openings are often down to weak mixture and air leaks.  Lastly check the exhaust headers are fully seated and sealed after that mate there is not a lot else you can do other than change all the ignition system and try another working set of carbs.
 
Thinking about it why not see if you can borrow a set of carbs that you know work straight swap if the problem goes it's your carbs and one of the thing stated above, if it's still there it's an ignition issue which is possible.
 
It's very unlikely to be a fuel supply problem if you've only got a flat spot/misfire the float bowls hold enough fuel to last a while even on full throttle openings.

Matey this problem was very unlikely to be a fuel supply problem, the float bowls hold enough fuel to last a while even on full throttle openings.  This for my money was mixture problem and I would have started with partially jammed open starter plunger/s and then looked at worn jets and or metering needles, damaged float/s and lastly diaphragms.  It could be any or a mixture of any you only need one carb to be out and you get what you had.

Post by: red98 on 18 April 2012, 07:23:25 pm
hi gnasher...thank you for that...two of us have now stripped the carbs down and not spotted anything, but i take your point about the needle jet,i also agree with you about the electrics,ive owned more than a few jap bikes over many years and never had a problem with electrics which has been backed up the tests i have done on the fazer over the last few weeks....needle and jets are origanal and never been touched from new so sizes and settings are fine,( ive owned the bike for nearly 10 years and 30,000 miles )   STARTER PLUNGER is a new one on me is that anything to do with the choke plunger ?
 i do keep coming back to the carbs but have removed and checked them half a dozen times now and can see nothing wrong.....so iam going to cheat  :eek ...ive bought another set of carbs an ecu and a set of coils from a breakers in surrey,removed from a working bike with 28,000 miles...all for £50,iam collecting the parts on saturday morning,
 i will start with the carbs but will clean and inspect them before fitting,
FAZERIDER,yes i did try your suggestion of lubricating the carb sliders by using a soft pencil but no inprovement,the sliders did seam to be a bit sloppy and i can understand them sticking,not ruled that out yet,swopping the carbs might highlight this as the problem
 if changing the carbs solves the problem,i will still try to find what the problem is and correct it as i would much perfer having known parts on a bike i use every day for work,
 my posts are getting i bit long winded now so i thank you all for taking time to read them,and of course for all of your help........ :thumbup

had to go to basingstoke yesterday but couln`nt face the trip in the car with the saturday traffic so took the bike and the stutter came along for the ride,keeping the revs above 5000 but below 8000 i had a half deacent ride with lots of gear changes (a33 reading/basingstoke ).........this has however made the hole in the exhaust bigger so last night i took it off and had a look.....looks like  one of those tes strainers....lots of holes and very thin,out with the mig welder on the lowest setting and i managed to fill all the holes,a bit of light grinding and it dos`nt look to bad.....deadeye has helped me out with some new pipes ( thanks DEADEYE and HAPPY BIRTHDAY )  a friend of mine is going to pick them up on thursday all being well,
 busy today and tommrow as brother getting married so no work on the bike,but i have managed to give the new carbs a quick clean on the outside ready for internal cleaning and inspection,the casings are pitted and not as bright as the origanals but look good otherwise.....fingers crossed  :)

found some bbt (bonus bike time) yesterday and was able to refit the welded up downpipes and also the new seconhand coils,ive missed a small hole in the exhaust but luckly its on the bottom and can weld it in place,just a pin hole,went for a test ride yesterday afternoon and i think the flat spot at 5000rpm has gone,bit diffacult to tell with all the traffic on the roads,still has the stutter at 8000 but not as bad,i thinking sticking carb sliders as already mentioned by fazerider  ;) ;)  ,had a quick look at the new carbs last night,all the screws on the float bowls and diaphram covers are way to tight  :eek  but i did manage to get one of each covers off,float bowls are clean and look good,diaphram is good no holes but is a bit wrinkled and parhaps streched,sliders and needles look good...i dont realy want to fit the carbs without looking at them all so will take them to work and bore out the screws i cant move and retap,this is the risk you take with second hand parts,all being well i will fit the new carbs and see what happens and then parhaps just swop the sliders over.....bit of a pain boring the screws but i still have all the internals if i mess up,take my time and i should be alright....bike is rideable now and am using it this morning to pick up a few bits and peices for my brother as hes getting married today,so lots of bike talk with the boys later  :D

Good luck with that.
Before you grind the remains flat it may be worth another attempt to unscrew them if you've a small set of mole grips or suitable pliers. Without the head the remains of the screw won't be under tension or have the friction of the head against the bowl, a bit of penetrating oil and gentle heat may shift them if there's enough left to grip.
Title: Re: stuttering fzs 600
Post by: red98 on 26 April 2012, 06:45:10 am
FAZERIDER...that was my plan,as you say without any pressure on the screws you can usually grip whats left and it comes out easy,done it loads of times...not this time though...the only thing iam worried about is boring off center but if i take my time and use a 2mm drill first i should be alright  ;)

ok...enough of this farting about....had a bit of a balls up today....went straight out to the garage tonight and removed the carbs from the fazer,35 mins from start to finish,put the two next to each other and compared the sliders,not much between them so i thought i would swap the pipes in readyness to fit the new carbs tommrow night all went well untill i noticed the fuel supply pipe was in the wrong position and needed twisting round a bit so i released the clip and turned it with my hand......thats when the t peice broke  :eek .   to replace this means separating the carbs and iam not doing that so the only option i have is to swap all the internals,sliders,needles,jets and emulsion tubes,i`ll keep the origanal diaphrams as they look better than the new ones.unless i can fine some cheap pattern ones...........oh the joys of fazer ownership  :( 
 on the up side the new carbs were well pitted and had seen a fair few winters mine are bright and clean as iam a pansy and dont ride in the winter

at last a bit more work on my fazer...today i stripped the secondhand carbs and fitted the sliders,needles, main and pilot jets,used my diaphrams as they look good and the seconhand ones were a bit mis-shaped and not as flexable as mine,slid the carbs back into position and tightened up the clips around the inlet rubbers,thats when i sheered one of the bolts,not going mad the heads in excellent condition not chewed at all,sheered just below the head of the screw (metal fatiuge ?) m4 x25mm,could not find any in my parts bins so will see what b&q have in the morning,probably best to replace all 8.....update tommrow :)

Post by: red98 on 07 May 2012, 08:22:18 pm
got the screws from b and q this morning,£3.57 for ten,could only get slotted so replaced just the one for now,air box bolted back in place and battery re-fitted.pressed the start button and a few seconds later the bikes running again,i swapped over the tps as well so i adjusted that so it read 5000 rpm on the rev counter,connected up the gauges to balance the carbs,not to far out but runs a lot better now they are spot on,hard to get to the adjustment screws but with a long slim posi screwdriver and a torch the job went well,well worth doing...i need to fit the stainless downpipes i bought off DEADEYE but i want to clean them up a bit first, iam going to use autosol and some fine wet and dry, need to buy these as right out at the moment so test ride will be next weekend now,it starts better now hardly turning over and has better pick-up  ;)

Hey, I had the same sort of thing a few months back, I dicked about with loads of things and the one day I replaced the air filter ( which wasn't that old, hence I hadn't changed it earlier ) but also I looked at this bit
 
http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,2849.0.html (http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,2849.0.html)
 
Item 24, mine was blocked . Cleaned the tubes out etc and it was sorted.
 
Now it may have been just down to the air filter needing replacement and the other bit had jack **** to do with it but maybe worth a look it's a 5 min job !

hi andy,i did see that post and thought about it and then forgot about it.the air filter would have to be in a right old state to cause a stutter and i like you have a new one,so parhaps you might have stumbled accross something here,iam off to the garage now to check my tubes.....i`ll look at the bike while iam out there too  :rollin :rollin :rollin .....
 will let you know shortly ;)

breather tubes checked last night,no problems there.....there was a post on here a while back,a chap had replaced his air filter only to have a stutter when test riding changed the filter back and all was ok its been playing on my mind for a while but cant see how it would cause a stutter...and now theres two of you !!!!!

no, i don`t believe air filter should even be considered as the prob. gotta go down the ignition / fuel routes. ;)

Title: Re: stuttering fzs 600
Post by: red98 on 13 May 2012, 05:56:08 pm
yes...balancing the carbs was well worth it....better pick-up from tick-over and smoother running
ive changed the ecu this afternoon simple job,unbolt the tail piece,remove tools,unbolt rear light,unscrew ecu,disconnect 2 block connectors....re-fitting is a reversal of removing....as they say in all good manuals  :D
not test ridden yet but starts and runs ok,will use it for work in the morning  ;)

removed the fuel filter tonight and put a straight piece of tube in its place....noticed that there was too much play in the throttle and saw that the bottom lock nut on one of the throttle cables had come off and was resting on the bottom of the cable  :\ :\ ....90 mins later managed to get it back on and tight without removing the carbs again  :) .............test ride at weekend  ;)
Title: Re: stuttering fzs 600
Post by: red98 on 21 May 2012, 07:13:01 pm
working all weekend so no time for a test ride....so took it to work today...no change  :\ ...so tonight when i got in i put the origanal ecu back on and removed the straight tube and re-fitted the fuel filter.....i looked at the diaphrams on the replacement carbs which i thought were a bit stiff,thats the reason for not fitting them,but after a quick soak in some petrol they have loosened up a bit and returned to the correct shape,iam going to leave them to soak overnight and fit them tommrow,all being well...had a quick look at the bike and theres just enough room to replace them without removing the carbs again  :)

ok lads....sensible head for a minute. Red, with regards weak diaphrams a little test i did at one point with the carbs off ( i`m sorry) was to get a shortish length of pipe and tape it into the little snorkel thingy on top of the carbs in the middle with some duck / duck tape and gently blow. what i did observe was 3 of the sliders lifted at identical rates suggesting all was fine with those but carb #1 didn`t shift !!!!!!. turned out main needle somehow was jamming / catching down in the emulsion tube. so a quick clean and lube with graphite powder all all was fine. obviously didn`t help me any long term, but maybe something for you to keep in mind for future reference ;)

Title: Re: stuttering fzs 600
Post by: red98 on 23 May 2012, 08:57:24 pm
ok....more sensable stuff.....took the bike to work today..after replacing the diaphrams last night......made no difference  :\ ......got in tonight and fitted the downpipes i bought off DEADEYE,I`ve welded the old ones a few times now over the years and was thinking that some of the weld might be causing a restriction,i`ve also replaced the can with one thats been in the garage for years,when i took the old one off there was quite a lot of what i guess to be loose/broken baffles shook the can and got most of them out but had the spare so on it went...will use for work again tommrow.............hows the decking going ade ?

ok. thats me relagated then?? :\ .....thort we was on to something with the diaphrams?...right ? this may or mabe not? ...but i recently swapped my end can from std to a harpoon carbon oval!!!, now although the sound it made was very impresive? on the road it wasnt so good?....low revs fine!!...but just couldnt get it to rev above 7500 without it holding back? as if i wasnt getting any fuel?...so just to double check? ..i reverted bk to std and it was perfect? only took it to 11000 but that was good enuf for me!!so i thort to myself ime not going to lett it beat me ,i loved the sound of the harpoon so much?.... so i decided to make a baffle for it!!,just to see if a littie bit of back pressure would help??...and guess what?....bingo!! nows revs has it should and goes like a rocket??? ;) ....so ?

would it  be worthwhile sorting a set of carbs complete with tps off net? possibly off a lower mileage bike?...or even someone like hills motorcycle salvage?....had loads of stuff of them?...breaking hundreds of bikes weekly!!....not bad on prices either?

 :o :o :o   ah yes......i made a big mistake there  :o :o :o .....with the seconhand carbs i bought to try and trace the problem,i should have fitted them straight to the bike instead of removing the diaphram covers and float bowls for inspection and then breaking the petrol supply t-peice which made the carbs un-useable..hence  swapping the internals over,i might have a problem with the carb boddies !!,supprised no ones said anything yet,you must be all to polite :D ......i might source another set of carbs and try again,seen a cheap set on ebay close to home and i can always re-sell afterwards
 not used hills before,where are they based....off to hemel hempstead today,40mile round trip which will give me plenty of time to test the bike and try and work out whats going on  ;)

thanks for that clive  :) used the bike for work today,approx 50 miles round trip and the bike seams to be getting better,if i ease the throttle open instead of snapping it open the stutter is not there  :) ...its only when i realy hammer it  that it starts playing up...i think i`ll use it for a while and see what happens,its been a long winter and its just been sat in the garage so parhaps it just needs to be used  ;)

oh been paid matey, half a blackcurrant cheesecake with squirty cream on...........the cheesecake :rolleyes ...and like it. theres gratitude. may try an under the duvet manouevre later if it cools down a tad :lol :lol :lol :lol . bear in mind Red, I was practically 100% convinced at one point that the fuel pump was the prob because of my `fuel delivery` problem. then I talked myself into carb issues ( both items were ready to be purchased ) as it turned out, my prob was `fuel delivery` only in the form of bigger jetting. try and take a big step back and re trace what you have checked / replaced etc. maybe something will jump out right at ya or into ya mind !

hey maybe thats what you may need to do. use your new bike and just temporarily put your 600 to one side. maybe after a couple of weeks come back to it, perhaps later in the summer with a more clearer head and `newer` eyes. maybe worth a try. in the meantime, get out on your nice new thou and enjoy a nice couple of ride-outs. ;)

feeling a bit lonely today  :( :( ......some of you may have heard the sad news already...ive lost my stuttering twin... after a brief moment of mourning ,the time it took to drink my tea,iam back on my bike to work....coming home today the bike was a lot smoother,but on first start up this morning the stutter was still there for about 1/2 miles,which got me thinking,ive never checked the choke plunger and still on the origanal....never needed to use it as it always starts fine without it...not had a lot to do with choke plungers so will strip whats left of my spare carbs and see how they work
 also had to fill up on the way home,as after yesterdays ride out left me feeling a bit dry,the last fill up didnt seam to last long  ;) ;) ;) ,so i zeroed the trip and will see what mpg i get,might solve the puzzle...gentle riding last year i was able to get 59mpg...i`ll let you know  :)

hey bro......don`t be sad......think of all the good times we had :rolleyes . right then, enough of that soppy sh&te back to it. when it came to the carb plungers matey, i stripped out all 4. nothing to them really. gave the plungers a very light sanding with 1500 grit w and dry. and put a very thin coating of vaseline ( hope clive doesn`t see this :rolleyes  ) on same plus any seals etc upon assembly. super smooth action. no potential drag / sticking probs. ;) . boss took it for mot this morn. flew through. no advisories . nowt. she had a bitch of a cheesy grin too when she returned. bad girl, menacing the bloody locals again. keep us up to speed mate with the mpg info. cheers

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  :rolleyes ....could be a good buy.........oh one final thing....go in low as you can always go up but not down  ;)

mmmmmmmmmmmm.......£750 sounds good starting point  :rolleyes ...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 .... :D

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  :)

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. . . .

dont worry about the posts not making sense....they dont make sense to us either  :rollin :rollin :rollin ........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....

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  ;)

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.

Clive mate, i`ve tried them all over the years. twins, triples , in-line fours and of course the brutal single `thumpers`  :'( , but i`ve always had a soft spot for v-twins. the torque is phenomenal. `course, mines tweaked to sh&t and back. all the usual suspects ( power commander etc ) but still had me work cut out today in all fairness. so, to answer your original question. sorry, no :lol

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

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.  :eek

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  ;)

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  :eek

If its had new carbs its time to look at the air and fuel mixture. As someone has suggested before (I have no idea which thread :P), take the bike out for a spin for 5 mins or so to get the engine warmed up then get back home and little it idle for about another 5 mins. Wait until its cooled down a bit and then remove one of the spark plugs. If its sooty then it may be over fuelling. If this is the case, check the air filter. You'll need to remove the tank and the air filter box is just infront of the battery.

This shouldn't take too long and is easily done with some basic tools plus you don't have to pay labour to the garage ;)

Mine was apparently rusty, so they sealed the inside of the tank with a sealant, and then replaced the carbs, fuel filter etc.

I'm already shopping for a new bike.


Got me eye on a nice ZZR600, although it is a horrid colour . . .


Hopefully if they can fix the Fazer, then I'll get a better part ex deal . . . .

There ain't many Hondas I like (VTR1000, CBR1000, CBR600, VFR800 . . . . .I think that's it)


Most of those are not viable as a bike for me by either being too old, or too expensive to run.

TBH, After the annoyance I have had with the 600 Fazer, I am very reluctant to buy Yamaha again (unless it's drums, they make very good drums) for while.


Gonna see if the garage can fix the stuttering problem, I'll pass on any thing I can that'll help others with theirs, and then I'll part ex for something that is more appropriate for my needs.

what  red said about the zzr is right??...cracking bike!!! ...i had a zzr 1100 although that was a bit of a handfull?..the motor was stonking!!!..the 600 isnt a slouch !!.....and its very reliable!...was once the fastest 600 on the market!! so if can pick a good one up for right money then go for it?? ;)

The one I sat on (didn't have the time to test ride it as the shop was closing) was great. I was amazed at how comfortable it was.


I have found one on an 02 plate for £2850, with 14k on the clock.


Other than the horrid colour, it is perfect. Only annoyingly, you don't see many anymore, so if I don't get this one. I either have to travel far, or wait . . . .


If I get this one. I'll probably wrap it. . . . .

nothing wrong with that colour looks good,not sure about the rim tape though.....my brothers was purple/black not a good combination.......i see it has a aftermarket screen aswell.....i rode my brothers a few times and was surprised at how comfy it was and also quicker than the fazer....let us know how you get on on the test ride......
 one of the good things about getting old is insurance , just took out a new policy for the thou with no ncb.........£182...........once ive sold my 600 and swop my ncb over it will come down to £102...(7 yrs ncb)  ;)

yes it was a bit damp here too, and its continuing all day today apparently. :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes boss has been travelling to work by cage all this week ( too dangerous on bike with the chronic wind gusts). just had todays clutch job ring up and cancel due to bike stuck in garage with a buckled door (wind) apparently :rolleyes :'( :'( , so it looks like a workshop tidyup day and a little checkover / lube of the bikes whilst they are all here. remember matey, all good things come to those who wait. supposed to be better tomorrow so you may get an evening blast in. ;)

Got Fazer back and feels really tight and sexy. :-) According to the mechanic it was the fuel injectors/valve thingy that needed clearing (I actually totally forgot on the ride back as I was having too much fun) Eitherway, it was something that the mechanic says he hasn't done in 25 years  . . . . .


I remain a little apprehensive cos I have eroded trust, however, if the two bikes I test tomorrow don't match up, or I don't get offered more than £1300 part ex, then I will probably be keeping it . . . . .  :D

If its got good compression on all cylinders I would very much doubt it to be a burnt valve, sounds more like blocked jets or something.

i take it you likey then???????????????? ;)

 
yes ....like it mucho....but......previous owner liked to use some sort of silocone spray cleaner on everything....including the grips  :eek :eek :eek ......also the crash bars rest against my shin and everytime i went over a bump would give me a knock...first thing when i got back the bars came off...also one of the pads on the front inside is a bit low so will fit new pads and give the pistons a clean/inspect....handle bars defo too wide so will see if i can get some origanal ones......loads of power and very smooth slightly higher seat height compared to the 600 but that suits me...great on the twisty bits with pilots  :D .....bought some de-greasing wipes on way back to get rid of the silocone  ;) ......otherwise happy with my purchase......oh .gear lever slightly too low.
 
as regards the 600...will make a start one evening this week , tyres should be here wed/thurs so will remove the wheels in readyness  :)

hi folks been studying this post since page 1 as i too have the same problem wiv a 98 fazer.i bought it last december and its been running the stuttering prob pretty much ever sice :'( the owner before had put a devlvic pipe on it and stainless dwnpipes,standard filter.Never been sure weather it was re jetted he had put irridum plugs new oil filter etc just before i got it.ive followed most of ur checks and everthing seems ok.having left it for a few mnths thought id go throu the checks all again.I found this time no 3 cylinder cold ?checked the plug duff!.changed them today back to ngk and all seemed ok on start up.Grt i thought test ride,stuttering almost instant.I then pulled choke on for ten secs and it pick up again ,i then shut the choke off and it all seemed far much better.Any ideas?wld it be not enough fuel ,and needs re jetting and aftermarket air filter.I was thinking of buying a standard end can and putting that back on?sorry its soooo long chaps....goose

hi goose......... welcome to the club........yes standard can on mine,carbs std as well.ie main jets,pilot jets and needle on factory height settings....crh has helped me out with lots of checks/inspections/changes and probable causes for the stutter,main one being mixture screws,i have a pattern air filter which i fitted just before i noticed the stutted so will check mixture and richen by half a turn....waiting for tyres at moment so wont be able to test ride untill i have them fitted (puncture  :\ )ill do both jobs together and let you know the outcome ..... :)

hi folks bit of an up date.,back in march i was 1st thinking my problem cld be either coils or fuel pump so i had bought a set of coils and fuel pump frm flea bay.yesterday i decided to fit them just to elimate them ,so braved the high winds and did the change on me door step,on start up seemed good then stutter and cut out,scratch me head ,oh id forgot to turn the petrol tap under the tank back on  :\ took it for a test ride and its fine .Just hope that maybe the old fuel pump had a problem.I still might junk the patterned standard air filter and go KnN and stage 1 dyno jet ,gona take the bike for a good ride out today and see after a few hrs riding will let you all know ,fngrs x its solved.goose

hi red98 no never got the time for a good test ride yesterday,i did notice on sat 5mile ride thou ,that wen turning on the ignition the old fuelpump only pulsed once ,when i changed it for the replacement pump it pulses alot more times,havent done the test you did thou.Back in feb i paid the local garage avsco to balance the carbs as i havent got a set of gauges,he said he cldnt get number 3 carb screw to move so balanced the rest of them to that carb,100 pound lay out and it wasnt any better.Now on sat when i changed the pump and coils ,i had a good look and i cld turn no3 carb screw ,i suspect that they never touched em ,and certainlly looked like they hadnt been touched.i did check me diaphrams as i know even a pin hole can affect them,but usally if they gone it wont rev over 7thou.While at avsco he said that althou the inlet rubbers were cracked he said they werent leaking,which i found out sat that no1 and no 4 are leaking so for now silconed em up :D ordered a set frm MnP cheapest i cld find at £63 ,so for now running ok altou think i will up the jet sizes to accomadate the devilic pipe.So fngrs x fazer back on the streets of watford :b
Title: Re: stuttering fzs 600
Post by: goose710 on 18 June 2012, 05:33:19 pm
hi again guys n dolls.Just took the fazer out for a good 30mile trip,stopped off at a m8s in hemel .The bike rode ok still a bit stuttery at 6/7 thou in 4th 5th n 6th gear.Whilst at m8s he went on the yamaha owners site,a chap  had put a post up with the same problem,he was running a devilic pipe aswell.He states he solved it by changing the main jets dwn frm 115 to 100?,and now he claims runs ok,i thought youd have to go up a size like 120 etc,what jet size did ade change to.I popped to moores of apsley and bought 4 new 115 jets 4 120 and 4 100 as they only £1.80 each ,thought id try the 120s 1st and see frm there ,il let yous all know at week end how it goes :rolleyes goose
Title: Re: stuttering fzs 600
Post by: red98 on 18 June 2012, 09:04:08 pm
iam with you on that...115 is standard and i would have thought best to go up...worth a try as cheap to buy...as for balancing the carbs sounds like you were ripped off there mate  :o ...worth the hassle of doing it yourself as you will see an instant improvement...i have some more information from CRH regarding hg levels when balancing carbs that iam going to try will let you know the outcome....GHOST RIDER has posted an excellent guide on balancing carbs well worth reading ...defo worth investing in some gauges...thats a good deal on the rubbers think i paid £75 for mine  :\
 
 i work in hemel on fridays but not heard of moores...are they yam dealer ?

I had a stutter on mine after a bit of work and it was caused by the 2nd inlet rubber in that had folded in on itself when being reassembled, so you couldn't even see it until eventually i had it into a different shop and they spotted it when taking the carbs off.  :rolleyes

if the ht lead is damaged or needs replacing it can be done with sealed coils by getting a lead jointer,its much cheaper than getting new coils !

good news...passed the mot today with two near misses.....front tyre (which i new about) and worn chain which is a bit of a shame as only half way on the adjusters
 a fair mot man that ive not used before but known for a few years.......PGB MOTORCYCLES LTD based in high wycombe bucks....will be using him again.
 quizzed him about the stutter and told him everything ive done....he suggested changing the generator as the only thing i hav`nt touched in the sparks dept...........anyone had any troubles with there geni ?  ;)

It'll pass the MOT without solving your problem, 'cos it's not really part of the process.

Have a quick butchers at the inlet rubbers anyway, 'cos from what you said if the previous ones were split, then you replaced it/them, but possibly had my issue with them not being seated properly, then you would have exactly the same symptoms.
Bloody unlucky, but shite happens!
Just a thought, but worth proving me wrong anyway....... and everyone loves proving me wrong  :lol

hi darrsi......i needed to mot it so i could test ride the bike....starting the bike on the centre stand and revving it.ie not under load,you cant see/hear the stutter....as you know ive had the carbs off a number of times now and although its a bit tight getting them on and off i took my time and gently eased them in.....ive got a few more things to check and if that fails i`ll be back to the carbs again.......thanks for your input matey  :)

good news...passed the mot today with two near misses.....front tyre (which i new about) and worn chain which is a bit of a shame as only half way on the adjusters
 a fair mot man that ive not used before but known for a few years.......PGB MOTORCYCLES LTD based in high wycombe bucks....will be using him again.
 quizzed him about the stutter and told him everything ive done....he suggested changing the generator as the only thing i hav`nt touched in the sparks dept...........anyone had any troubles with there geni ?  ;)
........think you fishing to deep now red?.....still think its on the fuely side!!....try the ideas whats been suggested first mate?? ;) ...then look further if u need too??.....besides that?.......cant have ...ATB" getting one over on me!! never live that one down :'( .......that darrsi mite be on the right track too??,,,,after all he cant be wrong all the time!!...can he?????....soz darss couldnt resist that :b

 
morning CRH...going to try your suggestions,now the bikes mot`ed i can test ride......spending some time on the thou today but will be back on the 600 tommorow.....off shopping for some new tools this morning .....yipeeeeeeeee :D :D :D

CRH you're a harsh man.......  :lol
The worst thing for me was that i took my bike back about 4 times over a couple of weeks, and had 3 mechanics test ride it but they all refused to acknowledge there was any problem, yet whenever i tried overtaking anyone my bike sounded like a chronic asthmatic on 40 fags a day, and seeing as i'm on the bike nearly every day you can imagine i was getting a tad pee'd off 'cos i know every tiny sound that's out of place with it!
Took it to a tune up place in the end and as i asked for a carb overhaul he spotted it rather quickly and brought in the offending inlet rubber to show me. It was literally folded in half on one side, and had then been done up.
I appreciate people make innocent mistakes, but i would've at least expected them to feel and hear it when riding it, bearing in mind one of them races bikes.  :rolleyes

your right darss?...it does piss you off when you know there,s a fault..then to be looked upon as if your a plank!!..think half the time they either cant be arsed or they just dont feel there,s enough money in it for them to sort your probs?...i personaly dont bother with them!! if it does take me extra time to sort sumat out ? so be it!!...i defo wont be paying there hourly rates!! :rolleyes ....been into bikes since i was 14 and now 57....bet ive f,got more than some of them know now?..... :lol ......

upon taking my tank up to get resrayed i tried to drain the fuel out about a gallon,however switching the tap to on fuel ran freely for about a minute then stopped switching between off and on and fuel would flow for a while and stop again.it would flow for various amounts off time before stopping.now my fazer has had an intermitant missfire for a while now so im thinking me taps fooked wemoto do a tap repair kit for £14 or a complete new one from yamaha is £25 think im gonna splash out for a new one.no crap in filter but gonna check inside tank when i take old tap off. just another thing for red to check :\ :\

cheers bootz76......already done that but dont think i posted it......as well as taking the tap off remove the fuel gauge sender unit as well....you can see a bit more and it makes it easier to flush out  ;)

at last back on my 600 fazer problem.....CRH has helped me out with a long list of possible solutions after quizing a mechanic friend....so my thanks go to both of you  :D ......top of the list....BENT VALVE.....so ive done another compression test
 
                                                             cylinder 1...................140 psi
                                                             cylinder 2.....................85 psi
                                                             cylinder 3.....................61 psi
                                                             cylinder 4...................143 psi


these are average figures as i did the test four times,should be about 160/170 psi ,with 40,000 miles on the clock i was not expecting top pressure, within 10% and i would of been happy,the low readings on cyl 2 + 3 has got me thinking  :eek


i then disconnected the plug caps in turn to see what these figures mead in real terms....


                                 disconnect plug lead no 1...............little bit flat but idles
                                 disconnect plug lead no 2...............flat but wont idle
                                 disconnect plug lead no 3...............little bit flat but idles
                                 disconnect plug lead no 4...............little bit flat but idles
                                 disconnect plug leads 2 + 3............flat but just about idles
                                 disconnect plug leads 1 +4.............wont start


so iam now thinking HEAD GASKET blown between cylinders 2 and 3  ;)  the bike runs fine between 4/8000rpm so parhaps the pressure of the 2 cylinders is masking the damaged gasket at mid range but at higher rpm the pressure is too great and the stutter returns  ;) ;) ......sounds a bit mad...but could be  :D
[size=78%]   i might take the head off and have a look,i can check the valves at the same time and regrind the seats to make it worth while [/size]

Title: Re: stuttering fzs 600
Post by: red98 on 12 August 2012, 03:30:31 pm
yes that would be interesting  :D  thank you........no outward signs of head gasket damage , oil leaks or using coolant etc and inside of filler cap is clean....going to search internet and see how much a gasket is before i go ahead  ;)
 could also try the SQUIRT OF OIL TRICK in the bores and then retest,if its ring wear the oil will  seal the rings and improve the readings confirming either gasket or valves  :D

hi matey,thanks for that,looked at BITZ FOR BIKES they stock 2 for a 98 model at £30 delivered,ive emailed them to see which one i need,if they cant help i`ll use wemoto...used both before and got excellent service
 i too will be surprised if its the rings as its never used a drop of oil in ten years ownership
 as you already know checked valve clearences at the start of this post,just within tollerences,if i end up taking the head off i will do them at the same time......as ever thanks for your input  :D

hi crh....thanks for going to the trouble of doing the compression test :D .....some excellent results there confirming the low mileage....i`ve made up my mind and iam going to take the head off....hoping that i will find a bent valve or blown gasket  ;)  will post some pic when i do..

more progress tonight...ive started to strip the bike in readyness to remove the head,items removed.......
   
                                                         seat
                                                         tank
                                                         carbs
                                                         coolant
                                                         various hoses
                                                         coil + fuel pump mounting bar
                                                         exhaust and down tubes


next step is to remove the cam cover, slacken the head bolts and remove/disconnect the cam chain....oh and align the timing marks.............its a while since i`ve stripped a bike enging so will flick through the haynes manual to see how to remove cam chain and refresh my memory on timing marks......time taken so far....2 hours  ;)

good evening my stuttering followers.......bit more progress on the bike tonight.......removed the alternator cover to gain access to timing mark on flywheel,removed cam cover and cam chain adjuster,positioned the timing mark on flywheel inline with join on engine casings and dot marks on cam ends with dots on cam carrier/head,also removed both chain guides ,had to remove the rad to get the front one out,does not mention that in the haynes manual  :rolleyes  also marked the chain and cam sprocket with tippex to aid reassembly. ;)
no wear found on any components except a bit of discolouring on the cam,to be expected on a bike with 40,000 miles on the clock  :D
 next step is to unbolt the cam housings and lift out the cams and followers.....stay tuned for the next gripping episode of
                                                               
                                                                      REDS STUTTERING FAZER


only 1 1/2 hours tonight,so 3 1/2 so far...........CRH,do you know something i dont  ;) [size=78%] [/size]

yes getting there...all being well i will have the cams out tomorrow,lots of warnings in the haynes manual about breaking cams  :eek if not releasing the bolts in correct order,from what i can see none of the valve springs are compressed when engine at tdc so not expecting any pressure on the cams.however i will of course slacken the bolts in the correct manner though ,as you do  :D

yes crh....had a good clear up in the garage before i started.....all bolts removed are back where they belong ,just loose,all components cleaned and laid out on the bench in the order that they came off ,this sort of work is old hat to me,many a classic jap bike engine rebuild under my belt....all those electrical tests i did at the start of this post is all cloak and daggers to me,give my oily chunks of metal any day,you can see whats happening and more importantly see whats going wrong,
   :D  looking forward to lifting the head and having a good poke around  ;)
yes ade has gone quite.....feeling left out no doubt as has inferior bike....he will see the light one day  :)

evening my stuttering stablemates........this you wont believe.............IVE MADE MORE PROGRESS ON THE FAZER  :eek .......cams out tonight along with followers and shims......un-bolted the head and lifted off.........head came off real easy (too easy me thinks) as did the gasket  :rolleyes ...no sign of a blown gasket and the valves look as if they are seating well  ;)  i turned the head upsidedown fitted some old plugs and filled the combustion chambers with petrol then went inside for a cuppa....went back and checked 10mins later and cyl 1,2,3 had lost 25% no4 not lost any. ;)
 so iam thinking headgasket, as came off far to easy and the black coating (not sure what it is) on the gasket is comming away also valves need grinding in  :) .......not sure if this will solve the stutter though  :\
 i have a couple of valve compression tools that ive used on car cylinder heads in the past but not sure if they will fit the fazer  ;)     any foccers remover thier valves before ?  :) [size=78%] [/size]
Title: Re: stuttering fzs 600
Post by: red98 on 15 August 2012, 10:22:21 pm
ah ....forgot to mention time taken.....2 1/2 hours tonight......which i think makes 6  hrs in total  ;)
 where`s the official foc-u time keeper when you need him  :rolleyes


[size=78%] next step is too take the valves out and re-grind them back in,and also check for any damage and that they are not bent....if my valve spring compressor fits...that will take a while as will do all 16...this will hopfully restore compression back to near standard pressure [/size] ;)

thanks deadeye.....ive had the 600 for 10 years now,so sort of got attached to it,been a fantastic bike,probs not worth a great deal now so might as well hang on to it

hi matey.....not checked the head yet,will need a good clean first and scrape off whats left of the old gasket.will remove all valves and check that they are all good before i order the gasket,then if i need any new ones i can order at the same time.
 plenty to keep me busy in the mean time as will grind in the valves the old fashion way.....grinding paste and sucker on a stick  ;) .......proper mechanics  :D

looks to me by the look of that gasket that the head wasn,t torqued down very well??....saw this black shit before on a cavalier i did and to me it looked like carbon!!....and that wasnt torqued right either??
Title: Re: stuttering fzs 600
Post by: CRH on 15 August 2012, 11:10:21 pm
and yes!!..the best way to grind the valves!!....dont f,get to chk the valve gides either?..but then again?..it didnt smoke did it?...still think its the valves though?..although that head gasket looks sus dont it??....anyway? not long to go?..what is it now?..6hours?..only 18 to go?? :\ ......ps you are allowed a tea break you know? :rollin
Title: Re: stuttering fzs 600
Post by: red98 on 16 August 2012, 02:52:53 pm
i think it might be a mixture of the two.the gasket is defo not right and it came off way to easy,dont think the black stuff is carbon,it feels a bit rubbery so think its some sort of coating on the std yam gasket ,the replacement ones i`ve seen look to be copper,head was torqued down correctly  :)
 as for the valves,iam going to try my valve spring compression tool tonight,not sure if it will fit at mo.
i`ll know more when i get the valves out  ;)
 as a little treat to myself i bought a new torque wrench today as old one not to be trusted any more,got myself some new hex drive sockets aswell ,my old omes were only just long enough to remove the head bolts  :)  new ones a bit longer....bought at MACHINE MART in tower hamlets.....my favorite shop  :) :) :)

evening my automotive playmates........cleaned the head up tonight,no signs of damage  :D  also found my valve spring compressors...for cars really and are both too big  :\ ...think i can modify the one on the right though,this ones for ohv engines the other for ohc.....iam going to cut a length of 16mm od tube and cut a slot in it length ways , this will fit in the top jaws of the clamp and reduce the diameter, the slot is so i can remove the collets ;) i will also need a 20mm spacer to fit on the valve face for the same reason.

evening all.........yes i`ve been here on and off keeping up to date with the major surgery thats in progress :lol  only question i have is, why when you filled up the comb / chambers with fuel that partly leaked out after a short while, did you instantly suspect the head gasket? reason i ask is............if the valves are all nicely seated ( closed) and the `crush` washer on the plugs are in good shape, then for all intent and purposes that chamber should be water / fuel tight. am i correct? if `fluid` is leaking somehow, then its seeping past a valve or dicky plug washer...........so where does the head gasket come into all this? bear in mind the head has been upside-down during this test? still sticking with fuelly / carbs issue........sowwy ! :rolleyes

creeping barsteward :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin . hope ya well clive mate ;)  sticking with carbs , but i reckon any compression probs point to leaking plugs (s) or valve seatings. sorry, my money aint on the gasket, whatever its condition.........but hey what do i know...........i`m just a weekend crossdresser that likes to talk to hunky fellas of a weeknight :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

yes ade your right  ;) ...the petrol test was to see if the valves were gas tight due to low compression ,and yes right again about seeping past the plug......re-grinding the valves is going to help my compression and i still think the head gasket is not helping things stutter wise  :\ .....i like you am not 100% sure this will solve my origanal problem but its going to help  :) .......good to have you back matey  :D

no time for the fazer today.....got a small job to do at work tomorrow so should have time to try my modified compressor tool  ;) ......looked at machine mart catalog and they do the right tool for £23 so it might be a ride out on the thou  ;) 
Title: Re: stuttering fzs 600
Post by: red98 on 18 August 2012, 09:44:58 pm
gave myself a kick up the back side and got out to the garage......my adapted tool did`nt work as i only have one pair of hands  :rolleyes ......so looked at the other one....with slight adjustments with an angle grinder and closing the jaws up in the vice i was able to get one of the valves out  :D ......also tried to get it back in again aswell.....very fiddly with the collets and my fat fingers and the lighting is not too good in the garage but i did manage it  ;)
 so will see if i can regrind all the valves on one cylinder tomorrow......fingers crossed  :)
Title: Re: Stuttering fzs 600
Post by: red98 on 19 August 2012, 01:21:56 pm
Afternoon fazer fettling fanatics......nice day so set up bench in garden and removed all 16 valves  :D ...No horror stories, but I can see why compression was low, all valves are going to need regrinding, cyl 2+3 worse than 1+4 which backs up my compression test figures.
 Another 90 mins to add to the time taken, not sure what I am up to now.  :\

easy day at work today so straight out in the garage when i got in.......ground in the last 8 valves  :D :D :D :D :D :D .will re-fit them tomorrow  ;)  also measured the shims,inlet are ok but all 8 exhaust shims need to go up a size,3 of the old shims i can re-position so i only need 5 new ones....ordered these tonight along with the head gasket from WEMOTO .....£56 delivered...could have got it cheaper but ordering everything from one supplier has saved on postage  ;)

like you say?..may not sort the stutter ...but?...good starting point for getting it right!!!!!!....at least all comp should be pretty equal?...think then mabe mixture screws set to what we said?...then give it a blast???????.....ps?12 1/2 to go!! :rollin
Title: Re: stuttering fzs 600
Post by: red98 on 22 August 2012, 10:08:04 pm
i wont be that disapointed if this dos`nt solve the stutter :eek ,the bikes been good to me in the ten years ive owned it :D ,so it deserves a bit of tlc ;) ...but i will know that the engine is in tip top shape 8) ...first thing i shall do when its running is another compression test to see what improvement i`ve got ......will probs adjust the mixture while i`ve got the carbs off as much easier  ;) ....i did notice that exhaust valves 3+4 were slightly richer so will be interesting to see what the settings are at the moment  ;) .....also need to adjust the plug gap as too wide at moment  ;)
  12 1/2 to go.......i might just do it....was that a guess or do you know something i dont ?  :)
Title: Re: stuttering fzs 600
Post by: CRH on 22 August 2012, 10:23:19 pm
.......just going off how long we spent on that busa we did?...but we did do a full engine build?...fkn loved it?..specialy when it fired up and run like a sowing machine!!....think you will notice a hell of a diffrnce, when you do run it again?...there was only one cyl down on the busa and that was a exhaust valve?...but seeing it had done over a 100k we did a full overhaul?...its done 9k now and has never missed a beat!! so!!!!!!!! ;)
Title: Re: stuttering fzs 600

 standard mixture settings should be 2 turns out  :eek i was going to richen by 1/2 turn,but left as is and re-fitted  ;)


1 1/12 hrs this morning,struggled re-fitting the carbs this time  :\ ....untill i realised its a lot easier mounting onto the air box rubbers and securing with the julibee clips and then sliding into cylinder head rubbers  ;) ..........i know that already,senior moment as iam at that funny age  ;)

well,ive got a KnN in mine and it sounds lush when you give it some!!...lovely induction roar, accompanied by a harpoon race can!!..so i would recomend you get one?.... ;)


ok thats recomended by DARSSI and CRH  ;) [size=78%]...... i`ll get the bike back together and treat it to a k+n filter [/size] :D

Definitely recommend the K&N as well ;) Got one on mine but having replaced the entire exhaust system at the same time I can't comment exactly on it precisely - the entire system has been running like a dream though. Can't wait to get mine back tomorrow :D
Title: Re: stuttering fzs 600
Post by: darrsi on 27 August 2012, 03:27:28 pm
I've got replaced stainless down pipes and a what's virtually a race can, and it's always been just fine, but the K&N has made it noticeably better  :b  (not including the latest hiccup obviously)

Sounds a tiny bit different as well.

had an afternoon with mumsy today  as 80th birthday,good day  :D ,quized her and her elderly friends on the stutter problem and all i got was blank looks  :rolleyes ........bike fired up a treat this morning no problem.....inlet shims were fine,exhaust i increased by 1 size (0.05 mm) did`nt think i would notice the difference,could not have been more wrong........top end is as quite as something very quite  ;) .....not a single rattle or knock,even on first start up  :D  well pleased with that  8)  tick over is a bit lumpy now so will re-balance the carbs...need to do a bit of homework on this to understand ....HG  :o .......as dont know what this is yet....but i do know its quite crucial to getting the best from the bike  :D

The determination of a gas pressure that is less in magnitude than the pressure of the atmosphere. This low pressure can be expressed in terms of the height in millimeters of a column of mercury which the given pressure (vacuum) will support, referenced to zero pressure. The height of the column of mercury which the pressure will support may also be expressed in micrometers. The unit most commonly used is the torr, equal to 1 mm (0.03937 in.) of mercury (mmHg).
Pinched this off the net I think it explains............... :D

i would think thats 10mm hg on your scale red!!....i would still try the settings you been given first mate?....just may be good!!!!!ps, if you set all your carbs the same,ie 2/2 1/4..or even 2 1/2...i would leave them at that and balance them you could allways do fine tweeks later if needed?.....got to be nearer than what you had b4?...ie 4turns out!!!!!.....i think you will struggle trying to adjust them in situ???

had to cut the front hedge this evening as swmbo was getting a bit frosty...so less time in the garage...but i did manage to put the coolant in and sort out my carb balancing gauges......will need to set mixture screws to standard for test,4 turns out at moment :eek  been like that for the last 10 years that i know of  ;)  so will set them to 2 1/2 slightly richer than standard  ;) 
 the easiest way to reset them seams to be to take the starter out and use a small flat bladed screwdriver  :)  will see if i can do that tomorrow  :D

re set the mixture screws last night....what a pain in the a*s  :\ ........did three of the carbs  with a small screwdriver no problem  :)  cylinder no 3 was a pain,can see the screw easy but once i get my hand in there i cant see bu**er all  :\  so took the starter out,which helped but still could`nt adjust,ended up loosening the inlet rubbers on the carbs and easing the carbs back and as high as i could  :\  i was than able to adjust no 3 :D
 all back together now and ready to balance the carbs  :D  all being well i`ll do that tonight and also do another  compression test to see what difference re-seating the valves has made  ;)

i will say zees only vonce big boy.......rule of thumb tends to be, if you have to back out 3 full turns or more to get it to run half decent then you need up move up one maybe two jet sizes to bring it back down to a more acceptable 2 full turns out. between you and i matey, my dosh is still on carbs / fuel pump ( or both).......definitely a fuel delivery prob. fair play to ole Red, he`s gone the full hog on this one......i`d take my hat off to him, but swmbo only lets me wear the big frilly jobby on a saturday evening unfortunately !! :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

Erm... 4 half turns. :D
I have mine set to about 45º less than two full turns.


Anyway, surely the mixture screw only affects the mixture at small throttle openings? By the time you've got the butterfly open far enough to reach 7000 rpm the contribution from the slow jet will be dwarfed by that from the main.


Have to say this sounds more like something blocking airflow, fuel starvation or sparks. I'm sure you've eliminated some of those, but wading back though the 500 entries on this thread would expose my eyes to too much of CRH's punctuation. :rollin

i`ve been thinking  :eek .......setting the mixture by counting the number of turns on the mixture screws seams to be a bit hit or miss to me,could do a plug check which would be a bit long winded  :\  and then i remembered i have a colour tune somewhere  ;)  it takes the place of a spark plug and is see through to aid accurate setting of the mixture  :D  will see if i can find it tonight  ;)
 
anyone else used one of these  :)

Post by: Fazerider on 03 September 2012, 02:07:04 pm
Blimey. :eek  I'd have thought that would leave things much too rich at idle. Even with under two turns I never need choke unless the temperature is near freezing.
Agreed, Colourtune would be a much more scientific way of setting things up.
Even better would be hooking up an exhaust gas analyser with the bike on a dyno, might be a bit expensive though.

I'm with crh on this . I have followed this thread and amazed at your dedication to the prob but when you have eliminated  everything possible whatever is left no matter how improbable is the answer! Get rid of that tiny niggle in the back of your mind and sort the airfilter !!!!!!!
seriously think you have dug too deep on this one.
Good luck mate. Never quit tho!!!

My only issue regarding all your effort is that i would've personally done one thing at a time then tested it.
The fact you are none the wiser leaves you a little bit open, as you can't pinpoint anything!
If the air filter doesn't sort it out then my next move would be a proper tune up place with a dyno.
It ain't cheap, trust me i know all too well, but it sorts things out, just be polite and ask them nicely exactly what they're doing! 
I dunno what area you're in, but the fella that does mine walks into the waiting room with half my bike on his lap and narrates to me why and what he's gonna do next!
As much as i hate the end price, the bike says differently!
I use PDQ in Taplow, well out of my way, but i can safely say he's like a bike surgeon!

I assume (always dangerous I know) that you're going to use the colour tune to set your pilot screws? If it makes any difference I may try mine. I bought one about 30yrs ago but it's still in the garage somewhere :\ .

I've had a bit of hesitation when pinning the throttle open at high-ish (6k+) engine speeds, changed the air filter + fuel filter and after a quick run up the road it appears to have got rid of it.

I just used a standard £12 filter from Wemoto, ordered Tuesday, arrived today.

Fingers crossed the filter will sort your problem out, this thread seems to be never ending.  That said if you removed all the flirting from CRH and Ade it'd probably be about 2 pages :D

at last back on my 600 fazer problem.....CRH has helped me out with a long list of possible solutions after quizing a mechanic friend....so my thanks go to both of you  :D ......top of the list....BENT VALVE.....so ive done another compression test
 
                                                             cylinder 1...................140 psi
                                                             cylinder 2.....................85 psi
                                                             cylinder 3.....................61 psi
                                                             cylinder 4...................143 psi


these are average figures as i did the test four times,should be about 160/170 psi ,with 40,000 miles on the clock i was not expecting top pressure, within 10% and i would of been happy,the low readings on cyl 2 + 3 has got me thinking  :eek


i then disconnected the plug caps in turn to see what these figures mead in real terms....


                                 disconnect plug lead no 1...............little bit flat but idles
                                 disconnect plug lead no 2...............flat but wont idle
                                 disconnect plug lead no 3...............little bit flat but idles
                                 disconnect plug lead no 4...............little bit flat but idles
                                 disconnect plug leads 2 + 3............flat but just about idles
                                 disconnect plug leads 1 +4.............wont start


so iam now thinking HEAD GASKET blown between cylinders 2 and 3  ;)  the bike runs fine between 4/8000rpm so parhaps the pressure of the 2 cylinders is masking the damaged gasket at mid range but at higher rpm the pressure is too great and the stutter returns  ;) ;) ......sounds a bit mad...but could be  :D
[size=78%]   i might take the head off and have a look,i can check the valves at the same time and regrind the seats to make it worth while [/size]


good afternoon chaps.........working today but had extended lunch brake and done another compression test  :D




                                                                          1          2          3          4


results before valve re-grind                           140       85         61       143


results after valve re-grind                              137      134      132       136


happy with those results  :D  shame i lost a few psi`s on 1 and 4  :o  but figures very close now  :D
still waiting for air filter ,probs be mon or tues now  ;)

them readings are pretty good matey!!...nice and even!...right?..told paul you going to use a colour tune?..and he said if you do use one?..(he wouldnt by the way)....to err on the side of rich?..as the fazer motor is designed to run with a richer mixture than most!! he also says that using the colour they show tends to make bike engines run very weak?...and you may experience pinking when you give it some?...he said tend to aim for blue to orange , more the latter!!...specialy as your about to fit a k&N...

at last back on my 600 fazer problem.....CRH has helped me out with a long list of possible solutions after quizing a mechanic friend....so my thanks go to both of you  :D ......top of the list....BENT VALVE.....so ive done another compression test
 
                                                             cylinder 1...................140 psi
                                                             cylinder 2.....................85 psi
                                                             cylinder 3.....................61 psi
                                                             cylinder 4...................143 psi


these are average figures as i did the test four times,should be about 160/170 psi ,with 40,000 miles on the clock i was not expecting top pressure, within 10% and i would of been happy,the low readings on cyl 2 + 3 has got me thinking  :eek


i then disconnected the plug caps in turn to see what these figures mead in real terms....


                                 disconnect plug lead no 1...............little bit flat but idles
                                 disconnect plug lead no 2...............flat but wont idle
                                 disconnect plug lead no 3...............little bit flat but idles
                                 disconnect plug lead no 4...............little bit flat but idles
                                 disconnect plug leads 2 + 3............flat but just about idles
                                 disconnect plug leads 1 +4.............wont start

thanks crh....top man ;) .....main reason for using colour tune is to see the difference between 2.5 turns and 4 turns  ;)
will set to over rich which i think will be somewhere near 4 turns but i dont know why :rolleyes [size=78%],will wait untill i have the k+n [/size] :D
pleased with the compression figures :D [size=78%] thats going to make it run a lot smoother and a bit more power[/size] ;)

yes very wierd why they should be that far out int it?....still like you previously said?..it ran fine for all those years so???????????...defo make a diffrence now you done valves!!...cant wait till you get that fkn filter in it?..there must be hundreds of us on here wanting a result!!!...just think red?..no more stutters?...what the fuck you gonna do with yourself? :rolleyes ....

same as me.......bike had k+n and aftermarket can fitted and ran sweet as a nut for over two years.....then literally overnight developed the dreaded stutter. finally cured ( touch wood ) with some re-jetting !!! whats that all about. crazy shit :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin

straight out to the garage tonight,no slouching on the sofa  :rolleyes ....fitted the k+n air filter :)  an excellent fit,very snug around the top rim  ;)  the old filter had a good 6mm gap and relied on the top cover to hold it in place  :rolleyes  (its a pattern filter about £23 i think)
 took no4 plug out and fitted the colour tune.....start the old girl up and i can see straight away shes running weak ;) [size=78%],blue flame , what i was expecting,mixture is set to 2.5 turns so turn the mixture screw anti-clockwise (out) until i get blue/yellow flame,edging towards yellow as the fazer is designed to run rich[/size] :) ........before i started adjusting the mixture they were set at 4 turns out and had been like that for 30,000 miles with no problems.......now  with the colour tune and k+n filter.....................5 turns out  :eek :eek

Just acquired a fzs 600 1999. It seems to run fine sometimes and other times it feels like its running out of fuel and hesitates about 5000 rpm usually when gassing it to overtake :eek . I find if i hold the throttle open it hesitates then clears. It has a micron race can and standard air filter. Any help appreciated :(

Everybody is probably thinking it, but carbs (and engines in general) are still not fully sussed in my mind. So; the mixture screws increase / decrease the amount of fuel that is being drawn by the carbs (or something to that effect) so wouldn't increasing the jet sizes have the same result as turning the mixture screws out? Of course you are still running a standard can and it shouldn't be necessary but...

My other random thought is, what if fuel pressure is low? Could a half faulty pump or filter be restricting the fuel flow and preventing enough from getting through? It's a bit of a twist on the same theme that has been followed with fuel starvation...

So much has been discussed but its like 20 pages back and I don't want to go re-read this entire thread - it would take all night :P

Still not happy with my bike between 2000-3000rpm, so it's booked in to PDQ Monday week.


It WILL get sorted, albeit the issue of a small fortune, but the man who deals with it is a genius, so i'll report back when it's done and  let you know what he found!

good point on the fuel pump and filter  ;) ....i bench tested the pump and all seamed fine :D  could change when its under pressure though  :\ .....filter was clear and again seamed fine.but as they are cheap will probs replace  :)

Mine was the same, would hold back for a second or two and then start pulling.  New air and fuel filters fixed it.  About £13 and £5 respectively from Wemoto.

Just ordered a fuel filter to see if it helps. Thing is sometimes it runs fine, so i would be more inclined to think its electrical, but for a fiver it's worth a punt.

Replaced fuel filter. Noticed when the fuel ran out the old filter it was orange in colour. I think my problem is rust in fuel tank. When i looked in fuel tank it looks spotless, so it must have rust at the bottom :\

Flushed the tank out. The fuel had loads of rusted flakes of metal in it, so i completely drained the tank and carb float bowls. Filled the tank with fresh fuel and went for a spin. To begin with it was pretty spluttery, but i think that was down to the fact carbs were drained and new fuel filter fitted. After about a 1/4 mile the bike ran sweet. Went out again this evening and same again revved out perfectly. I will hold back jumping for joy until i have used it for a few days, but it seems to be running much better :)

 so i put the mixture screws back to 4 turns (its been running that for the last 30,000 miles) and no change :\

I balanced the carbs on mine this afternoon. While hooking up the vacuum gauges to the take-off points on the inlet manifolds I found the little rubber caps had perished quite badly:
(http://s19.postimage.org/vjf8z8ktf/P1060932.jpg)
I don't think they'd quite gone all the way through, the one I tried sucking on was OK anyway... I didn't test the others 'cos I didn't like the taste. :)
As a precaution I smeared some silicone sealant into the cracks.
With all the dismantling and checking you've been doing I don't suppose that sort of thing would have missed your notice, but thought I'd mention it anyway as a possible cause of a weak mixture.

Haven't had the time to test it yet, Red.
The bike's been misfiring very occasionally, not just missing a beat but quite violent... a neutral throttle, chugging along at about 3000rpm and suddenly it's like a cylinder has fired 45º early and pushes backwards. Saturday, I went through most of the electrics, cleaning and tightening the odd suspect connection and did the carb balance and TPS today.
The fact that the misfire only happens when the throttle is near closed made a carb balance an obvious thing to do (particularly 'cos I hate doing that job and had put it off until it was long overdue), but they weren't really that far out of adjustment. So, I can't say I've found anything that really looks like the cause of the problem yet. Anyway, I'll find out soon enough. Though not tomorrow. When I work on the bike the fecking car gets jealous and so blew it's  exhaust as I set off to visit my mum yesterday. :rollin


Enjoy your day off, sounds like it's well-deserved. :)

 one thing i did`nt check after adjusting the shims and putting the head back on was the valve clearences to see if they are correct  ;)  should be and only adjusted by 0.05mm .......probs check though ;) .

Bike is still running really well after draining tank and replacing fuel filter. The only bad bit is it's now putting out more power than before and the clutch slips slightly  :\ or the back wheel is spinning up :lol . Adjusted the clutch and lever, so will see if that helps. I can't think of anything to add to help you get you bike running better other than getting a set of carbs off fleabay and fitting them to eliminate the carbs. Then coils / ignition etc.... Speaking of ignitions it's not uncommon for them to f**k up from time to time.

still have the stutter......a worse one than i started with  :\ ....bike stutters at 6000rpm on the centre stand....just like hitting the rev limiter....wont pull through  :\
 
things ive tryed so far....................

replace carb to head inlet rubbers
replaced plugs
re-newed plug caps
replaced coils (2)
checked/replaced tps
replaced ecu
balanced carbs.....4 times
fitted replacement diaphrams and jets (std parts).......ade you watching........
replaced head gasket
reground all 16 valves (to fix low compression on 2 cylinders)
check and adjust valve clearences
replaced air filter (k+n)
replace fuel filter.....( this weekend )
 
and probs a few other items that ive forgotten
all old parts re-fitted if found to be good
 
next step is to swap carbs with known good-uns.....possibly this weekend
after that................................................jets,maybe......or back to checking electrics

Is your airbox structurally intact and forming a good seal, or are your carb rubbers perished anywhere?

Is your CDI unit fine? Not the same bike, I know, but I had an old FZR600 that used to miss sporadically around 6000rpm, usually just when I was overtaking.  Tried everything to resolve that PITA before I borrowed another CDI

Post by: Fazerider on 27 September 2012, 02:02:59 pm
Did the engine manage to get past the 6000 rpm barrier before you sorted out the compression problem?
Just wondering if the inlet and/or exhaust cam might have ended up one notch out.
Have you tried a timing light to see when the sparks are occurring and whether they advance as the revs rise?

hi kebab :D ........forgot to put on list :\ ........first thing i replaced.....carb to head rubbers,very badly cracked but not all the way through,new ones on now :D ,air box as good as new :D
 
as for the cdi.......and iam not quite sure on this,but did`nt the ecu take the place of the cdi ?......will check dr haynes later on tonight...thats the sort of thing i`ll be checking if the carb swap dos`nt sort the problem ;) .........thanks for your input :)

hi fazerider.....yes it did pass the stutter before i had the head off,not quite getting to the red line though  :\
i`ll do the carb swap and if that dos`nt work i`ll check the timing.....again :\

If I was you I'd take the plugs out clean them and then stick them back in and rev it until it starts to stutter. Then kill the engine as its stuttering and take out the plugs again. That will give you a good idea of what's happening while its stuttering. It seems like for all your good work your still non the wiser as to what's happening as its stuttering.

If I was you I'd take the plugs out clean them and then stick them back in and rev it until it starts to stutter. Then kill the engine as its stuttering and take out the plugs again. That will give you a good idea of what's happening while its stuttering. It seems like for all your good work your still non the wiser as to what's happening as its stuttering. Is it flooding or leaning out?

 
yes good point DUDE :D .........i did take it to the stutter when i had the colour tune fitted and it did look fine,just edging on the rich side ;) .......should learn more with the replacement carbs....stuck in the post at moment  :\

morning all.........swaped the carbs this morning  :D  checked diaphrams,sliders and jets,all good with standard size jets  :)
started the old girl up and...................no change :\ [size=78%]................stutter at 6000 rpm just like hitting a rev limited [/size] :\ :\ :\
going to check the valve clearances when the engines cooled down,probs this evening and then
....................................................................dont know  :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes ........might go with ADE THE BLADE idea and go up a size on the jets.....but dont understand why this would work  :\ :\ ........................
 its very sudden when it hits the stutter almost like throwing a switch.........so iam thinking electrics ;) ive swoped ecu,coils,and tps and am now thinking.............REGULATOR/RECTIFIER............your thoughts please peoples :)

...am now thinking.............REGULATOR/RECTIFIER............your thoughts please peoples :)
It's a possibility, a voltmeter across the battery terminals should indicate whether there's a problem there. I'm sure you'd have noticed low battery if the rectifier wasn't doing it's bit, if the regulator side had failed then the voltage could rise: maybe high enough to upset the CDI unit, but usually a high supply voltage just tends to kill things like that. And you might have noticed lights getting very much brighter as the revs got higher. So, have to say it's unlikely.
Did you try the suggested plug chop after holding it at max revs for a while? That should indicate if it's a mixture problem.
Otherwise, try a timing light... that might give some clues.

Disappointing.

Can u find a fellow FZS owner who can leave his bike with you for 24 hours while you swap over all electrical parts until you find the culprit? Would save you spending another small fortune replacing the wrong parts.

Beers usually do the job

working in leicester today so popped into yamaha dealer while i was up there ;) ,was going to buy 4x120 jets,2 sizes bigger ;) .......helpful chap behind the counter asked why so i went through the whole story :\ :\ :\ :\ .....told me i was wasting my time but agreed on what i had already checked and said he would have gone down the same road :D
 asked if i had tested crank position sensor but i could`nt remember if i had or not :o :o  and then he mentioned fuel pump and relay :D  which CRH has also just mentioned,rocker covers off at the moment so i can check the valve clearences just to make sure they are correct now that i have fitted new shims ;)  then i`ll bypass the fuel filter and pump and see what happens  :D
  i advised someone on here a few weeks back to try this but it did`nt occur to me at the time to try it on mine  :o :o :o

offer still there mate if you want to try it?....not using mine at the mo so you welcome to try it?...been looking for a link between yours and ades ?.....did you say you changed your headers??, cus ade as stainless on his hasn,t he?....some aftermarket headers are a diff bore internally ?..and can make your engine run very weak causing top end fuel starvation!! :rolleyes .....and as ade said he never did find out why he had to re-jet??....whats been throwing me is the fact you only changed ,your filter and headers .....then the stutter>,,,,,worth a thought mabe?...cus if it is that you now need bigger jets and that solves the problem?,...thats the ...only....link between yours and his.....HEADERS!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

hi matey.......yes been thinking about the headers  ;)  it is a big stutter :\  and i think to big for the headers alone to cause it....ive welded the origanals up and can refit to see  :) ....thanks for the offer of the loan :D ,i`ll bypass both the pump and filter at the weekend and see what happens......as for the jets ,this is what the dealer in leicester was getting at....there is no reason to change them,its worked on ades but we dont know why :\ ....mines standard,as you know,with exception of stainless headers and k+n filter,which should not need a re-jet  :\ ......once again thanks for your input :D :D :D

The stainless headers that  red has came from my bike which ran fine when it had them. At the time it was running a standard air filter and standard end can as well - so practically an identical setup to red

Unfortunately I don't know what make / brand they are as they came with the bike - I'll have a rummage in the old paper work and see if the previous owner kept the receipt but I don't think so :(

hi CRH, i had a very similar problem last week, but mine stuttered at anything above 4k.
it was actually dropping a cylinder.
the prob with mine i think was 3 issues,
the well for the plug caps had wet leaves that had blown in (due to being parked up under a tree)
i also found a HT lead was a bit loose in the cap on cylinder no2
and when i took the plugs out the gaps were way too wide, cleaned and closed the gaps and it now runs better than it has in ages

Post by: cnw180 on 07 November 2012, 08:26:16 pm
Hi everyone,

I've been reading this thread and my fazer has similar problems. I've not got the flat spot, but around 8000 - 9000rpm the bike stutters before picking up again.  This is when I crack the throttle open quickly from, say 7000rpm. If I roll on slowly, the stutter is still there but less noticeable. If I accelerate from say 2000 - 10000 rpm, the acceleration is normal, no stutter.

This happened after I changed the air filter and (foolishly) added a small amount of Redex carb cleaner.

Before this the bike was running a bit rich, but other than that fine.

So any advice where to start looking would be welcome.

I can do a few basic maintenance tasks, but not things like stripping carbs.

I did think about putting the old air filter back in to see if that made a difference.

Cheers!

hi all
been reading this for a while, will be joining in shortly. just got a fazer and spent 510 getting it rite and it has got one bad cough!! had it before it got once over, was gone for 60 miles and now back with vengeance  feel mine must be a fuel problem as mates mate didnt drop the fuel and clean the pipes when carbs got balanced and cleaned. just terrible under 3500 and runs like dream afterwards. going to get go pro on and post link to video this weekend.
keep the posts coming in

I will try the filter back in at the weekend and let you know how I get on.


I just had a thought though. A friend checked the bike out for me a few weeks ago and commented that 1 cylinder was running hotter than the others (down pipe was noticeably hotter from startup). The other three cylinders were running a little rich(petrol smell) I will check the plugs at the weekend to to confirm this. Anyway a lean mixture would get even leaner with a new filter, so I wonder if one cylinder is too lean at high rpm and is causing the stuttering?


I assume a carb balance may be the simple answer as in the long term, I cant simply stick the old, clogged filter back in, to force the bike to run rich.


Does this sound plausible though??

ummmmmm .....not sure about that  ;) ......start by swaping the filter...i dont think thats the problem but once swaped you can forget about it  :) .....balancing the carbs is always a good thing  :D  do you know when it was last done ?  :)

I've owned the bike 3 and a bit years, and they've not been done in that time! Probably should have done them sooner. :\  Will get them done hopefully in the next week or so, have a friend with the kit needed.....

.....well, checked the plugs and ht leads, bit of wd40 applied. Left New air filter in place as I noticed the rubber cover over the airfilter casing had snagged over the air intake, possibly restricting the airflow. Assuming the engine needs a huge "gulp" of air when the throttle opens, this may have been an issue. Will test ride before putting old filter back in.


Bike fired up fine, needed a bit of choke, normally doesnt! Idling ok, just a tiny bit lumpy...


Will post back later!!

@cnw180, I had a complete carb overhaul done at PDQ, cleaned, balanced, etc, but when i went back there about 18 months later with a rough running problem between 2-300 revs they balanced the carbs again and said that they were quite a lot out.
I really noticed a difference when riding home, so i'd imagine that if you haven't had yours balanced in over 3 years that could be a place to start first!

fixed me stutter!! ;) ...very weak spark on number 3 plug?...so trimmed leads and replaced caps plus swapped plugs as i had a new set in stock!! and runs perfect again. :D ....what i did notice though was when i released the tank filler cap" there was a lot of suction on the cap?...chkd out the tank breather and it was blocked :rolleyes ...now cleared!!...

Well I put the original filter back in and the bike is now fine, stutter gone!  :lol  Checked the two filters while out and the new one is a tiny bit smaller. Noticed the box it cam in had 98/99 for the year. Wonder in the filter is different on the 2000 model then????


Anyway, bike running nicely, carbs do need checking for balance, but power all back now!!

Was an aftermarket one, apparently standard, but who knows with pattern parts. The original filter had a gauze/mesh cover, the replacement had a metal sleave round the outside, with holes in it....?

Post by: darrsi on 11 November 2012, 05:15:29 pm
I had one like that, and i think it was also red98 too, and i never really thought too much about it until i swapped it for the K&N filter about how ill fitting it was.
The K&N made a really tight, fitted seal whereas the other one probably had about 5mm play around it.
I doubt very much at all that it's anything to do with the year of the bike.
I would seriously recommend getting a K&N filter though, you can really notice the bike breathing better, and you only need to buy the one as they're guaranteed for a million miles, and you don't even need to clean it for the first 50,000 miles!
£30 on Ebay.

Just ordered one as I didn't change the filter earlier in the year when I changed oil and plugs. The last K&N filter I ordered was 4 off the little cone filters for my Honda 400Four in the mid 80's.

You're very welcome and it was a pleasure to meet you.
Will have to find an alternative to the A321 if I ever head up that direction again : Wokingham /Twyford was a blast, but south of that is misery. Aside from all the ruts, potholes and 30mph limits (with cameras) on the return leg I collected some tw@t in a hot hatch at Wokingham who insisted on driving 10ft from my rear wheel for the next 5 miles and then, when he finally turned off, used his horn to vent his frustration at me for going so slowly. Berk. Hopefully he'll have a clear run next time, past a waiting traffic cop.
Anyway, hope that coil does the trick. I'll expect an autographed copy when the hardback of this epic tale is published. :lol

no tax at moment so put the bike on the trailer and went down to local industrial estate,private road,and gave it a test ride,bike starts fine and revs freely all through the rev range,great.....pulls away no problems ,get to about 3000/4000 and its bogging down..almost as if running one 2/3 cylinders....the only thing i`ve changed since last time is the pick-up coil as broken/worn wire.and also ive set the mixture screws to 2.5 turns out,standard settings,when i first looked at the carbs they were set to something like 5 turns out and i had run it like this for the last 10 years,no problems....not sure of the effect in changing the settings ,anyone know more than me ?....it is getting better though,on the centre stand with no load on it its fine................ thinking of by-passing the fuel pump and filter next and maybe putting the mixture screws back to 5 turns....but i dont know why  :o

...fkn sod int it?...ile get you that fuel pump relay sorted if you want?..mabe give that a try!..dont think its the mixture screws though paul?...it was boggin with them set to 5 before you adjusted to factory!!...could be wrong but seems excessive dont you think?..usualy when they are set in factory that is normaly a starting point,ie 2.5turns out,then mabe a small tweak either way of that setting point to get things  into spec!...but 5 turns seems alot ?....but if it is i am wrong and it does need 5turns thats one rich mother fucker runnin engine you got there!!! pm me you address again and ile pop that relay in post for you! ..give it a try ?..you never know :rolleyes ....

Post by: Fazerider on 23 June 2013, 08:28:32 pm
That's disappointing... only partly cured. :( 
At least the fact that it revs OK with no load implies the sparks are good now. The remaining problem certainly sounds like air or fuel in short supply.
I too find your slow jet settings a bit of a puzzle, all three sets of carbs I've had have run fine on with the adjuster set to slightly less than 2 turns. I'm currently overhauling the set I pulled out a few weeks back. When I've got them fettled you're welcome to borrow them for diagnostic purposes.

your a top man FAZERIDER....bought my own spare set last year but turned out to be bad,CRH helped me out with another set which made no difference too stutter,had my origanal set look at by local mechanic friend and found no problems..
iam with you on "air or fuel in short supply" and as i have improved things with the recent changes iam going to bypass the pump and filter ,ive fitted a new k&n filter but will take it out to see what difference it makes..
          before i do anything iam going to read through this whole thread and take notes as i go......iam sure the answers in there somewhere  ;)

Sounds as though you may have enough carb sets to be going on with for the moment then. The jets on mine will be OK once I've cleaned the silt and corrosion out, but the sliders are worn so throttle response will never be brilliant... they're just an emergency spare set.
... iam going to read through this whole thread and take notes as i go...
You'll have a chuckle at page 4 (I think it was).
Some plonker told you the pickup coil would have nothing to do with the stutter.
Ahem. :o

been having a play over the last couple of days,on the verge of putting the bike into my mates garage for him to sort out but thought i would just check the things i have done including the mixture screws,i can just about adjust all four with carbs on the bike but slipped the carbs off just to make sure....best settings are 2.25 and ive taken the new k+n out and refitted the old hiflo filter and there is an improvement......worse with air filter out...going to check carb balance next to see what that tells me........back of my mine iam thinking ....rolling road,dyno  :)

swapped and changed the air filter on "the stuttering one" and it does make a difference...took the new K+N out and put the hiflo in and it did run better.slight improvement without filter ....i have standard can on mine,if you have K+N and after market can/system iam sure a rolling road and rejet will squeeze a few more horses from this lump  :D .....i have an old suzuki gt250 x7 with microns spannies and k+n filters and no air box.re-jetting two sizes up made a hell of a difference  :D :D :D :D  lifts front wheel in second just on the throttle...scared the living daylights out of me the first time  :eek :lol

If its for me I fitted a new air filter new new oil and filter new oil new plugs and trimmed the leads.

I have also drained the carbs I would say all the above has made it slightly better but not perfect.

It has to be the carbs as it was fine until the air filter was changed and the oil drained it did have 3.5 litres above the max !!!!!!!

Just a general observation for anybody chasing a misfire or stutter. During my investigation I cleaned my carbs, replaced my plugs, replaced fuel filter, cut back my ignition leads did a carb balance none of which did anything. My symptoms only came to light after riding the bike hard for a few miles and then she would misfire on hard throttle at low revs. I would recommend anybody who has a misfire symptom to replace the plug caps. You can get 4 NGK replacements for less than a tenner.
Another possible red herring symptom is a rough idle. I have a K+N filter and a Beowolf end can with baffle in. Even after doing all of the above my bike still doesn't idle smoothly but rides great so I'm not worrying about it.

ok.....change of plan,ive bought a complete running/motd/taxed spares bike as a "parts swapper bike" for "the stuttering one",needs a bit of fettling to make sure all is ok and then the swapping will begin.....not sure yet where iam going to start  :o ....a bit of thinking time at work today me thinks  ;)

not going to be beaten by "the stutter"....when its all sorted i`ll bring it along to one of the lofo`s ride outs and you`ll see why....its a cracking looking bike  :D  in the best colour  ;)
  not had much of a chance to look at the new one yet but a quick check over last night found.......missing centre stand,bent clutch lever,broken exhaust stud,damaged thread on front sprocket shaft, no nut !!,carbs held on with cable ties  :eek ....saying that it does start and runs well with a high tick over possibly caused by the blowing exhaust and cable ties letting in a bit of air,air box side of the carbs,a weekends fettling should sort these out  ;)

update....i now have a spares bike  :D ....suffered the "front sprocket nut"issue and lost its nut on the M25 damaging the thread as it rattled around in the cover,thread repaired and new 12mm nut and tab washer fitted along with a new clutch lever and i was able to ride it down the road....tyres have had it but apart from that it rode very well  :D ....so tonight ive been stripping a few parts off it to try on "the stuttering one.parts include...




                                                    carbs with tps
                                                    coils

                                                    pick up coil
                                                    clocks,as i think they work with the ecu


new parts ive fitted include.........plugs
                                                    plug caps
                                                    k + n air filter
                                                    carb to head inlet rubbers   




thats it for now but i might swap the tyre valve caps ,as nick has pointed out its about the only part i hav`nt touched yet  :lol [/size][size=78%]    [/size][size=78%]

Maybe I didn't explain it right. After riding hard for a few miles, if I had to slow down then open up the throttle (low revs, high gear) at anything more than about 1/2 an inch then the bike would stutter/misfire. If I eased the throttle extremely gently then I could get the engine to pick normally. You can pull the throttle around hard at any revs. The gear your in will decide how fast the engine picks up.

If its a cheap fix it has to be some sort of replacement cable OR... hmm...

So, you replaced the coils, the plugs and the plug caps... so that should rule out that side of things. The battery is fine as well... so... has to be something in the loom either before the pickup coils or just after the generator?

Aww, I was flicking through the Haynes trying to make "978" work somehow :P

Well, the answer is finally here ^^

Isn't the purpose of a regulator to well... regulate? This is likely to be utter crap but would it not just work to make sure that there aren't any spikes in voltage / amperage? So that a steady stream of power is provided...

Apparently yes, the regulator is used to ensure that there is a constant load of 14.4 Vdc (typical - could be different on our bikes, but unlikely) to the battery

Title: Re: stuttering fzs 600
Post by: Dead Eye on 27 August 2013, 02:58:32 pm
Ok, so I've been flicking through some internet articles and here is what is confusing;

The charging system, as far as I am aware, is separate from the electronics in that it connects to the battery THEN the battery powers everything else - in theory. So, a fault with the charging system shouldn't cause a problem with the electronics on the bike UNTIL the battery is drained. If so, then why would the regulator cause a problem...

However, if this is to with load across the battery, then its ignorant to think that the charging system is entirely separate. It provides a Vdc across the terminals of 14.4 - so if it is faulty it will (in most cases) cause this value to drop but it shouldn't go lower than say the 12 Vdc of the battery itself (more like 12.6+ on a fully charged battery) until the battery is drained. This drop could be enough to cause the spark to become weak.

Now, as you crank open the throttle, you are pulling more air and fuel into the combustion chamber, right? So with more fuel saturation in the vapour, you need a stronger spark... if the spark is weak then you run the risk of a misfire... or stutter?

I assume this is what was happening?

Edit: Ooohh another thought - the stutter clears up at higher RPM right (at least for others) - could the increased heat from the larger combustions begin to counteract the weak spark a bit so that you avoid a misfire?

Post by: Fazerider on 27 August 2013, 03:38:14 pm

Must admit to being a bit puzzled by this as well.
Regulator rectifiers can fail in two ways: either delivering no electricity to the battery, in which case the sparks would have held up until the battery voltage decreases, but you'd spot all the usual symptoms of a dead battery in that case. Alternatively they can stop regulating, which means the full output of the generator is forced into the battery causing the voltage to rise. (My brother had an Audi with that problem... he liked the extra-bright headlights, but it killed the aftermarket transistorised ignition unit!)
Unless you also had a poor connection to the battery it's hard to see how either condition would cause a stutter, and I'd have thought you'd have also noticed the lights changing in brightness.
Title: Re: stuttering fzs 600
Post by: Dead Eye on 27 August 2013, 03:54:03 pm
Could be a fault with the unit sending too much to the earth effectively lowering the voltage across the battery? I don't think its necessarily as black & white as "it works" or "it doesn't work" - probably a grey area where its only partially working, or not working to full capacity / spec - this would then allow for the conditions observed...

When everything you know to be true can't explain it, it's time to reconsider those "absolutes" ;)

Yes, fair enough... it may not be an all or nothing fault and would presumably be intermittent to boot, but the problem remains that the battery is very good at soaking up or delivering brief surges of power. If the regulator decides for a few seconds that it should be delivering 6v instead of 14 it has the full output capability of the battery to contend with. Sure, it can drag the voltage down eventually, but I'd expect the lights to go dim before the sparks got weak.

Regarding the regulator - Totally agree with you Fazerider, be good to double check by putting the original back on to see if fault comes back, as far as I am concerned the bike does not even need one to run properly, well as long as there is juice in the battery.

Can I just ask, have you taken the bike for a test ride with the new regulator fitted and if so, has your stutter gone? Also, how much was the new regulator? Might be ordering one tonight to see if it fixes my stutter too!

yes ..been on a short test ride and theres a massive improvement,very smooth from 2000 all the way upto the red line......your do well to get a secondhand regulator for £20..ebay,breaker etc....i have a spares bike so stole it off that  :)

never noticed the lights being dim....hard to see as they are not too good when working well  :\ ......next step is to put all swapped parts back on my spares bike execpt the regulator and put the supposed faulty regulator on as well and then test ride the spares bike which ran well before stripping the parts..
 
 the "stuttering one" mot has expired at begining of the month and needs a new front tyre to pass,then book in and have a propper test ride on way too mot station..(no tax )....sounds like a good plan to me  ;)

Well I'm delighted for you that it's definitely fixed at last, and if the stuttering moves to the donor bike that'll be confirmation that the regulator is to blame.
How it's doing it is a mystery though. Maybe there's a dodgy connection in there that resonates at certain engine revs and puts out enough noise/radio frequency interference that it swamps the signal from the pickup...  feels a bit far-fetched, but normal regulator faults result in the battery not charging or overcharging.

When i say it's savage gear, i really do mean it!
I didn't trust normal mechanic gloves so used a glamorous pair of yellow marigolds instead, and you'll need eye protection as well.
And i got a black bin bag and wrapped it round the engine behind the downpipes to protect the paintwork.
Even with those thicker gloves on the tips of my fingers tingled for a couple of weeks, you really don't want it on your skin or worse still in your eyes.
Sprayed it onto a small square piece of green Scotchbrite pad and just rubbed away for a few minutes on one pipe at a time then carefully rinsed off with a hose with really good results. It foams up like washing up liquid so it's easy to see what you're doing as well.  :D

Well, the Ivan's has cleared up my own bike's stuttering problem, and generally smoothed everything out. Had a bit of a ding-dong with a zzr1400 on fast winding A road today too, and doubt if it would have been able to stay with that one like it did before Ivanising! But even if it's not more performance you're after, I'd say do it, cos it just makes it so much nicer to ride generally.

Hello all

I have today bought a 1999 600. it has done 32000 miles and is quite tatty - I only paid £650 for it though

I have previously owned 2 x 600 early fazers, 2 x thundercats and a naked FZ6 - so I must like them!!

It has a Scorpion race can on it and I took it for a test ride before I bought it- it rides ok, but did have a stutter on full throttle. I put it down to having a race can on it and that it has been stood for a year. I plan to put the standard can back on, put new plugs in and have the carbs balanced.

I read with interest this thread and it was good Saturday night reading!!

The paintwork is tatty so was planning on having it re-sprayed professionally. maybe a current white colour?

I hope that the above work will make it run properly, but will keep you guys informed

I don't normally read books let alone full blown novels but having completed this one i've  learned that it really is best to read the end first  :rollin
So as i now appear to be suffering a bad  'stutter'  (started mildly last year i think)  im going to get the multimeter out and start with testing the regulator.


Hopefully posting your trials & t's Paul will help ease mine, after a few paracetamol ofcourse  :\

So far I have done the following (some just because it needed it):
  • Oil and Filter change
  • New Spark Plugs
  • New Spark Pug Caps
  • Brake Fluid change
  • Carbs Balanced
  • Checked air filter - looks pretty good still

Still to do:
  • Replace Coils (waiting for them to arrive, not very patiently)
  • Regulator/Rectifier
Anyone have any other thoughts as I'm committed to fixing it now!


Did you cut about 10mm off the end of the HT leads when putting the new caps on? The internal wires get pushed into the outer cover of the leads over time making the connection to the cap screw not as good as it can be.
Do a quick TPS check and make sure that's positioned correctly.
Replace the fuel filter.
Difficult to suggest an air filter "looks okay", do you know the history of it? If not change it, personally i would go for a K&N, but if not don't buy the cheapest one you can find as they can be crap.

i read earlier about sealed in ht leads to the coils
i cannot garruntee on the fazers but these often can be redone with a bit of time and patience
i did some on my gsx1100 chop build i just used a bradawl and a little screwdriver while sat in the garden watching youtube
just started picking out the epoxy that was holding in the ht leads then yanked it hard (then got back to working on coils)
once out i was able to clean up the surfaces with screwdriver scraping, inserted new HT's and a bit of epoxy, job done

Thanks for the thoughts.  Forgot to mention that I'd checked the tps.


I'll order an air filter :)


running out of patience and cash to throw at it.

Post by: darrsi on 27 June 2017, 10:52:32 pm
Just bear in mind, "if" your air filter was clogged up, then the air would've been struggling to get to the carbs, which in turn would give you a false reading on a carb balance.
So if it starts running ropey with a nice clean air filter then that could be the reason.
It's unlikely but certainly possible, as i found out myself.

the "stuttering one" is still running fine and approaching 50,000 miles ,owned for 15+ years and still enjoy riding it..


was it worth all that hassle ?........course it was, its a RED 600 BOXEYE , fastest of the lot   :D
