Hello!
After some help please?!
I've done lots of searching and taken on board lots of the suggestions in other threads...now time to start a new one!
I'm a new rider so bear in mind that some of the issues may be rider related
Struggling with low speed riding/manoeuvring. Scenario: Small tight roundabout, going all the way round/3rd exit. assume if pulled away from standing in 1st. If I drive it slowly as it's a tight R/A I'm finding it hard to keep it smooth. Almost to the point that I start to kangaroo. Now I get that I can slip the clutch and raise the revs, or drag the back brake....but...very hard to indicate off whilst holding in the clutch and on a wet RA I don't really want to drag the rear brake. It's not a problem I had on the xj600 Divi I learned on, maybe its because the fazer has twice the HP and inline 4?
I'm also having problems at idle (which Is why I'm assuming the two are related) The bike idles just above 1k but not at all smoothly. It's running very lumpy and the needle is fluttering to the time of the sound of the engine. (if that makes sense).
I have:
Changed Oil/filter
Cleaned and checked plug gaps
Balanced the carbs
Cleaned and oiled the K & N air filter.
Checked all breather hoses are clear and not kinked.
Bike has Micron Fast flow Can and performance filter as above.
Bike was sat for a year before I took possession of it. I have also tried the fuel additive as mentioned by lots of people on here with the same issue to clean the jets. Also find that I have a few little backfires whist decelerating. Nothing big and loud just little pops and grunts.
Any help of suggestions are much appreciated
