Hi People, newbie here!

(1/1)

blue_faz600:
A big hello as i'm new to the site and new to Fazers! :D


First of all I'm loving the little Fazer, but need some advice on model niggles and traits.


The drive seems very snatchy at small throttle openings, so much so that i find myself slipping the clutch upto 20mph to get a smooth take off. Is this normal for the 2001 FZS 600? I have checked the chain slack, which currently is at 35mm however i am reluctant to adjust this back to 30mm as i regularly carry a pillion. Could the chain slack be contributing to the snatchyness?


Secondly i seem to hear what sounds like to me the cam chain rattling when the engine is cold, once the engine warms up this sounds seems to go away. My engine has done approx 24k miles in 10 years. Not excessive, but could the cam chain need replacing? or could it be the spring in the cam chain tensioner that has gone?


I think thats it for now folks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Cheers guys and girls.
