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 !!!!!

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  ..... will let you know shortly

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

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

looks like the front brake lever is bent at the end and the bar end weights have been changed,along with the dacals and grab rail i would say that has been dropped at some point and worth checking if cat c......has got 30 ish tho miles and is pretty clean.the few bits spotted would not put me off and if its nearby defo worth a look and a test ride...make sure it rides straight and is smooth on the corners.....as said before start at £1000 and try to stick with it

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  . 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

if it smokes on start up,that will be worn valve guides,if you do a compression test take note of the readings and if there low squirt a little engine oil into the bore via the plug hole and do the test again, if the rings are worn the oil will temporarily seal the gap and you will get a higher reading,if the readings are the same it will be the guides....simples.............if its not using much i would`nt worry about it and just top up when needed,best not to wait for the oil light to come on before topping up,check the level through the glass site level parhaps every week and top up if needed....
