Introduction / New to the forum

Hi guys , Got myself a FZS400 to do some work on and needed some help with running hence joining.
I'm a welder from London, I've only really worked on classic cars, here are my two, 1982/1985 Capri, the blue one I built from scratch on my own and the gold one I restored a couple years back, I designed a stainless exhaust for the blue one and would like to make a nice twin pipe stainless system for the bike....

I bought my fazer with the intention of making a cafe racer... I started doing it but soon realised the frame was not lending itself to it and since I use the bike everyday I don't have time to cut it and make it right so all I've done is change the bars ,headlight as put a stripe on it haha Bars are pretty wide but got used to them commuting now haha....

Previously I had/have a Honda vf400fd I had a lot of trouble getting parts for a engine rebuild... So decided the fazer would be better , changed sprockets and chain , then had a problem with running but found blocked jets thanks to unfazed and others

Anyway that's the bike , can't wait for summer to actually start getting a proper ride on it

Fazer 400 and other models / Idling trouble

« on: 18 January 2016, 11:07:52 pm »

Hi guys,

Got a probably with my bike, when idling the two ride side(3/4) cylinders are not running , once riding about 2500rpm it fires on all 4 ,
Things I've checked...
Spark , yes
Fuel , yes
Throttle cable slack
Air filter
Coils
Throttle position sensor
Starter diode
Pickups
Kill switches
Side stand
Float bowl fuel level
Butterfly's
Vacuum balancing
New plugs
New caps
Carbs have been apart
Diaframs are good,

So saying all that any ideas? I'm stumped haha
You can literally sit at a red light and pull the lead of the plug and bo change to idle.

Any more ideas will help!
Thanks guys

Fazer 400 and other models / 1997 FZ400 frame swap

« on: 11 December 2015, 01:00:51 pm »

Hi guys , new too the forum but looking for some help...
I've bought a fz400 pretty cheap and runs very well but ive noticed the head on the frame is tweaked. No other evidence of a crash since the bike is crazy clean , had forks and yokes out... its defiantly the frame.

so I dont have a problem swapping frames , gives me something to do but i cant find a 400 frame! so my question is ....

Will a 1998 600 frame fit.. i know head bearings are different but the engine mount look in the same place but swings are and suspension Im not sure....

Im taking loads of measurements from my bike now so i can go look at this frame.

if anybody knows any problems let me know.I do a fair amount of welding so dont mind some modification to the frame but dont want to go crazy.

thanks guys
