Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Removing the Flywheel
« on: 08 March 2023, 02:44:51 pm »
Help!! has anyone had problems removing the flywheel on an FZS1000? I've tightened it as much as I can and been hitting it with a hammer, I have even bought the Yamaha puller but it won't budge.
Am I missing something? Has anyone got any tips?
I only need it off to split the casings and change a bearing.

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Rough running FZS1000
« on: 13 May 2021, 09:32:42 pm »
I’ve recently bought another FZS1000 and  been trying to get it to run right. It stutters at low revs (up to 3k) and backfires on overrun. It pulls well above 3k but doesn’t feel as powerful as my previous but that maybe because it had an Ivan’s “slip on” kit, which I haven’t yet installed on this one. It’s done 46k
 
I’m looking for ideas on what may be the problem as I’m running out of ideas myself.
 
    • Done so far:
    • Stripped and cleaned carbs
    •    Cleaned jets, checked sizes. Needle size & position
    •    Checked diaphragms for punctures
    •    Checked float height
    •    Balanced Carbs
    • Set valve clearances
    • TPS failed so new TPS, set to 5k (tried 10k bounce)
    • Checked & cleaned electrical connectors
    • New filters (air, fuel & oil)
    • Check resistances etc on Coils, TPS, sender, plug caps
    • Swapped out plug caps to make an equal set
    • Cut recommended ½” from ignition leads
    • Changed plugs (CR9E & CR9EIX)
    • Stripped Exup & straightened to ensure it opened & closed smoothly, rebuilt & adjusted
    Seems to runs best with mixture screws 2½ turns out
    Plugs are whiteish
     
    I haven’t checked the compression yet but don’t see any indication that is the problem.
     
    My next thought is a worn cam chain, anyone any experiences with this or know where I can find timing for valve opening & closing?
     If I replace it, I am assuming I will have to use a “split” chain (at £80) rather than the original endless (at £24), unless anyone can advise a way to do it without splitting the crankcase.

    For Sale & Wanted / FZS1000 Wanted
    « on: 12 February 2021, 08:33:10 pm »
    Looking for another Fazer FZS1000 Gen 1 as mine was written off,  I thought I had one sorted but, sadly, it didn’t happen, so I have the money waiting. Looking for a bike in reasonable condition, although I’m quite capable of doing a bit of work if the bike has the potential.
    With the COVID restrictions, I’m not sure how I am going to go about seeing a bike, so ideally something fairly near to me in Bristol or we can work something out for when things change.

    Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Ivanising - gone wrong
    « on: 26 December 2017, 12:51:05 pm »
    Well I managed to break the drill bit in the bypass holes, unfortunately just below the surface. Luckily I have been able, with watchmakers tweezers & an eyeglass, to remove the end of the broken drill.

    Can anyone confirm the drill size, I measure it at .95 mm, but would like to confirm that. Next task is to find somebody who stocks that size locally....

    Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Rough at low revs
    « on: 02 November 2017, 05:25:28 pm »
    Hi

    mine is running very rough and hesitant at low revs, up to around 4k. I have pulled the (New) plugs and they are all very white indicating lean running (I have trimmed the leads as recommended). I suspected a primary jet, but the plugs indicate all 4 cylinders, so I am doubting this.

    The bike has a Remus Titanium can on it but I can't find any reference, so don't know whether it is suitable for standard jetting. Would this cause this much of a problem.

    I have thought about fitting an Ivan kit, but feel I should sort the problem first, unless the exhaust can is the problem. If I were to do the Ivan kit, I was thinking of the slip on as I don't need any out and out performance but improving low rev performance would be good and I have only seen this kit available in the UK (at a  reasonable price!!). But I'm happy to hear any arguments either way.

    Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / FZS1000 dying at 6500 revs
    « on: 02 September 2017, 08:42:37 pm »
    Hi, I just bought a FZS1000, it pulls fine until it reaches ~6500 rpm and then it feels like it's hit a rev limiter.

    I suspected the exup, but that is all free & I can turn it easily to the stop and the servo resets it when the ignition is switched on. Is there a way to test the servo? I'm not getting a fault code and I suspect it is something else.

    Are there any known faults that might cause this?
