Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / FZS1000 Haynes Manual
« on: 06 January 2024, 06:18:35 am »
Hi all,

Does anyone have a Haynes manual pdf for the fzs1000? I had a look at the downloads section of this forum (as well as other fazer forums) and have not been able to find one.


Cheers,

FZS600 Fazer / Clutch Problem - FZS600 1998
« on: 03 May 2022, 12:57:42 am »
Hi All,

I've been having some issues with my clutch which have now progressed and need some immediate attention.

How it started:
When changing from first to second the gearbox would jump out of second and back to neutral. This would occur particularly after hard acceleration. After one or two goes I could get the bike to go into second.
After a while this would occur at any rate of acceleration. Also the bike would sometimes skip second and jump into third.

How it's going now:
Now the bike struggles to get into second. When changing from first to second it will go straight to neutral and then it'll be like there are no more gears. I can get it to go to second after a lot of tries but then have issues getting back to first.

When the bike is in each gear the behaviour is normal. No clutch slip or anything else that's unusual. It just an issue when changing gears.


From what I've read on here, it seems like this might be an issue with the gear selector forks or maybe the clutch springs. It would be good to hear some thoughts from people on here. Maybe the problem could be something else and there might be a procedure to follow for proper diagnosis of the problem.

FZS600 Fazer / Reshimming Valves - almost done but a couple of issues
« on: 19 February 2022, 01:22:34 pm »
Hi all,

I've been getting stuck into a valve clearance check and reshimming. It's nearly all done but I'm having a couple of issues with reassembly and timing.

First, the front cam chain guide. Can this be inserted/removed with the camshafts already bolted down? In the Haynes manual the guide goes in after the camshafts are secured, and before the cam chain tensioner is put in. But, I cannot for the life of me work out a way to fit it in without removing the exhaust camshaft to make some space.

Second, valve timing. My timing looks slightly out at the moment, especially looking at the intake timing. I've attached some photos of the datum - maybe the timing is fine, so I just want to hear some thoughts on it.

Also, will putting the front guide in alter the location of the timing datum? Just trying to work out if I should factor this in when correcting timing.


Cheers

FZS600 Fazer / Cam Chain Replacement
« on: 08 October 2021, 06:13:01 am »
Hi all,

I am replacing my cam chain on my 1998 FZS600 (~70k km). I have read through the service manual, the haynes manual and some of the forum posts as well as youtube videos. So I have a good idea about what I need to do, though I do have some questions.
  • What's a good way to secure the new rivet linked cam chain to the old cam chain while pulling it through?
    I'm thinking some string or a zip tie where the rivet should be, though I'm keen to see what other people have done.

  • Do I need to replace the cylinder head cover gasket?
    I've seen this recommended in the service manual, though have not seen any mention of needing to replace it elsewhere.

  • Is it necessary to remove the radiator?
    Seen this in the service manual but not in haynes.

  • How many rivets are there on the cam chain between the marks on the sprockets?
    I will probably end up working this out by lining everything up properly but it would be a good additional check.

  • Do you have any tips or hints?
Thanks in advance.

FZS600 Fazer / Fitting/Bending Replacement fuel lines
« on: 21 September 2021, 06:50:18 am »

Hi All,

There's a similar post on this regarding routing new fuel hoses by Friar (https://foc-u.co.uk/index.php?topic=27120.msg0;boardseen#new) but I have a slightly different question to ask.
I want to replace the 3 fuel lines from tank to carbs.
What have people done in the past?
  • Is there somewhere I can get OEM fuel hoses for cheap?
  • Has anyone got straight hoses and then shaped them?
  • Should I just apply the solution in Friar's post and get straight hose that is long enough to compensate for the tight space getting from points A to B?
I'm not sure how I should proceed.

Location: Sydney, Australia

Cheers
