Denise / FZ1 girl on the US site has clocked up just over 197000 miles on hers....should be the 1st FZS1000 to break 200k, hopefully....

Yes, and  better too 'cos they'll have the preload adjusters the 98/99 bikes lacked

Take off the engine's chain cover & check your front sprocket tab washer thingy is still in place.

This what you're looking for? looks like cables on it too, tho not sure what condition they're in....

That's true....except there's about half a dozen people on this site (or at least on the old site) with jetkit & advancer fitted together and no problems

907
Fiddled with the TPS but still couldn't get an acceptable setup, so I've put my Advancer back to the standard position and she's much smoother again above 4000rpm.
I know a few of our U.S. cousins had problems with the Advancer fitted in conjunction with Ivans, and the great man himself thinks its not the best setup for our bikes.

A pity as I can see plenty of others not affected by this mod

Not spluttery, just (really) gutless low-down. You could ride around it but it won't be much fun.

There are currently 4 ebay auctions for Fazer 1000 downpipes starting from £75 - is money a major factor?

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Re: Best Screen?

Huge amount of discussion on this topic: agreed consensus appears to be that there is no general consensus.

It depends on your height, your helmet, riding speeds, whether you have higher / lower aftermarket handlebars, higher / lower aftermarket bar risers, the standard mirrors and how far in front the fairing sits. 

I have an MRA Vario which is the same size as the standard screen but has an adjustable vane, and a Givi D129 which is about 4 inches taller & 1 inch wider. To me, both are better than standard, but neither is good enough. The Givi transmits a *lot* of extra noise & along the top it 'vibrates' above 60mph. The Vario is quieter but seems ineffective in all but the highest vane setting, whereupon it deflects all flies straight onto to my visor.

Remove your mirrors, go for a ride & see if that makes a difference.... or alternatively keep them on & remove the screen to see what extra turbulence factors are at work...

Check your HT leads are pressed down firm against the plug caps - one of mine wasn't & gave a weak, intermittent spark on #4 cylinder.

AIS still in place? Project to do over the Winter then...

Not many tuned examples about with engine work.

You could probably get high comp pistons or go nitrous but don't think the clutch will take more than 150hp without expiring.

Ivan's jetkit with a full Akra or Muzzy header system seems to be the limit for road use - about 140hp.

As per the old messageboard, I fitted a modified ignition advancer which does give a bit more low-down grunt.

 I balanced the carbs yesterday after doing my valve clearances last week. Valves all set to mid-spec clearances.

Took the bike out for a decent spin today and encountered a lot more vibes than the standard setup, particularly around 4-6000rpm. It clears up from about 7000 upwards but I'm finding it quite irritating....the vibes through the bars are reminiscent of my old Bandit1200, which was part of the reason I got shot of it.

Anything worth trying to fix the problem? Think I read something years ago about adjusting the TPS to compensate......

(Ivan's Slip-on jetkit fitted and an aftermarket end-pipe with the baffle in)

Probably doesn't help to have the bike lumped in as a derivative of the Thundercat as per the Haynes manual?
