Title: Overheated?
Post by: gnm on 24 December 2017, 08:36:10 pm

Hi all, started the Fazer up last night after about 8 weeks in the shed and left it running for about 20 minutes then it cuts out. When I went to check it there was steam and water coming out from around the rubber overflow pipes behind the exhaust link pipe. I left it to cool down then tried to resart it but only getting a loud clicking from around the positive side of the battery any ideas?

Probly Thermostat that's failed in it's closed position causing bike to overheat from what u describe?
Drop bike onto it's wheels, push it in top gear & check engine will still turn over ?
If not motors likely seized as starter motor won't crank it over..
Or you could just have a starter/solenoid/battery/charging issue?


Hopefully it's summat simple to fix.
