im currently running some 10w40 semi-syth specific for a massey ferguson tractor in my bike. (brother is a farmer and had some left over form servicing his tractor). Have had absolutely no problems at all. (so tbh i would just go for any 10w40 semi-syth, its not like your running a superbike so dont go wasting your money) I used to put in rock-oil from my local shop, that was pretty cheap as well.

I remember adjust the pushrod system a while ago when I first noticed the gear change trouble. Just to clarify is it the mechanism behind the rubber plug on/by the front sprocket cover? Although I dot remember regreasing it.

Thats an amazing reply. Thanks a lot for that Deefer. Would you suggest not doing this until it starts jumping out of second gear? Or are you thinking this problem may not be related to the selector forks?

FZS600 Fazer / Replacing selector forks and drum« on: 13 May 2014, 08:14:42 pm »
Hi, i have a 1998 fzs600 and since i have had the bike it has been very clunky/sometimes grinds/crunches when going from 1st to second and from second to third. Also there is significant whining noise while in second gear. Does this sound likely to be a bent selector fork or worn drum? If so i heard that these can be replaced with the engine still in the frame with the sump removed and clutch out. I replaced the cam chain on this bike and fork oil/seals etc so feel confident i could do this job. Any ideas on what it could be or info about replacing the selector forks would be appreciated.
Cheers, Dan 7

i've been doing a bit of research and think it may be the main relay. Anyone selling one that fits a 1998 fzs 600?

FZS600 Fazer / Side stand causing engine to cut out in neutral« on: 29 March 2014, 04:34:15 pm »
Hi, so recently my fazer got stolen and they hot wired it. Luckily i got it back and managed to repair most of the things wrong with it, including reconnecting all the wires to the ignition. Although i am left with one minor problem. If i have the bike in neutral (neutral light on) when i flip down the side stand it cuts the engine out. If i hit the starter switch it will turn over but not fire up. I read somewhere about a relay under the left hand side black panel maybe causing this problem. Any ideas? Also what size are the holes in the front disc, looking at getting a disc lock.
Thanks, Dan. 9
FZS600 Fazer / Re: 1999 Fazer 600 swap for CBF125?« on: 13 October 2013, 05:31:13 pm »
yeah i would say the mileage is too high. Plus as others have said you could sell your 125 for much more than that and then get a decent fox eye fazer allowing you to see at night... always a bonus.

FZS600 Fazer / Re: Flat Spot« on: 28 August 2013, 05:12:56 pm »
UPDATE: Today i decided to check the air filter, pretty clean. so i moved onto the carb to head rubbers. I took each one off had a look and even though they are cracked real bad on the outside, it has not penetrated all the way through. Back on they went. I then took the carbs off and holy shite the float bowls were full of rust. So i cleaned all the float bowls and all the jets (we have a blanker mid jet that fooled me into thinking it was blocked for a while) and then had a look at the diaphragms and lubed up the slides. I also decided to reset all the air/fuel mixtures screws as the idle was bad beforehand. That was a mistake as one of the screws just snapped off. So i had to cut a slit in it to be able to turn it... anyway that sorted i put it all back together with a new fuel filter and now it runs perfect again. So i'm guessing it was blocked up carbs or something carb related. Just a side note, two days beforehand i put in a small amount of carb/injector cleaner in with my fuel. I wonder whether this had a part to play?
Cheers for the help. 13

cheers for the replies. I had a look at reds thread (Not quite all 40 odd pages though) How do i check the regulator? Also could spark plugs cause this?

FZS600 Fazer / Flat Spot« on: 27 August 2013, 10:53:17 pm »
Right so after blasting it half way back from poole bike night tonight my 1998 fzs600 developed a problem. As i was trying to blast it past my mates fz1 my bike lost power and now will not rev past 7k unless i hold the throttle back for a good 5 seconds and then finally revs past it but with very little power. It feels liek a very bad flat spot. Also it seems to happen lower down the rev range if i'm in the lower gears. I feels as if it looses power at the point when the engine used to start pulling hard. I'm wondering whether it's running lean as i had the fan come on for the first time today also the carb rubbers are cracked, but i sprayed wd40 on them and the idle did not change.
Any ideas? Thanks, Dan. 15
FZS600 Fazer / 15W Fork Oil. Does it make that much difference?« on: 26 August 2013, 06:55:04 pm »
So i hate how spongey the forks are, will changing from 10w oil to 15w oil make a reasonable amount of difference? Or do i really need new springs?

FZS600 Fazer / riveting a cam chain« on: 14 August 2013, 10:28:30 pm »
so i have my new cam chain, and i also have my rivet link. I'm going to replace my old cam chain on tuesday/wednesday. I've been looking at the rivet link and the chain and working out the best way to rivet it. I'm after a bit of advice from someone that has done it already about how best to press the side plate on and also how do i hold the internal two plates while sliding the rivet link through the holes without dropping everything into the crank casings... stuff it with rag?
Cheers, Dan 18
FZS600 Fazer / Re: Camchain replacement« on: 01 August 2013, 06:03:58 pm »The quad stake anvil there looks too big for doing a cam chain, do they do a smaller one. Also noticed this was called the jumbo chain tool, so does it have driving pins small enough to split a cam chain what problem did you have using that tool to rivet the cam chain? I was also going to use that to do my cam chain. 19

FZS600 Fazer / Re: cam chain rattle/ valve clearances / buggered engine« on: 30 July 2013, 08:46:01 pm »If you take the centre bolt out of the tensioner first it will stay in the same place. If you leave the centre bolt in the spring will push the tensioner all the way out. I'd check the valve clearances next if I was you but if the tensioner is at the max then the chain is worn. yeah i took the centre bolt out first and when it was out it was at the end. 21
FZS600 Fazer / Re: cam chain rattle/ valve clearances / buggered engine« on: 30 July 2013, 08:21:55 pm »I believe the valve clearances would make it difficult to start rather than make that noise. i didn't check the tension of the chain or the timing marks after resetting the tensioner. A;so the bike starts on the button with no choke. 22

EDIT: just saw it was endless. How dodgey is it to buy an endless cam chain and split it and then use a rivet link instead of paying £15 more for an open chain? 23

Whats wrong with my 1998 Fzs600 with 30k on the clock?
I took the cam chain tensioner off the other night and it was fully extended, i don't believe it has had its valve clearances checked either. The tick usually goes away after 15 mins of riding although has got worse recently. Please check out the youtube video below and vote. Also reply if you have more info for me. Cheers.

I had a split chain fitted a few years back and vaguely remember the bill being around the £200 mark which would suggest about 4hrs labour at the time. I need to get mine done ASAP, any idea where I can purchase a split chain on online? I have been looking for the last hour or so and can't find one. I would like a DID or equivalent if possible.
