FZS600 Fazer / Re: Carb Headscratcher...
« on: 13 May 2015, 10:40:13 pm »A hesitation from 5000 to 8000 is fairly significant. I'd say a balance may help but a carb clean is probably in order. What mileage is on the bike? Must be pretty high if you're doing 700 a week. To get it running right you need to get all the basics right. So clean carbs and balanced, clean air filter, oil and filter, fuel filter, good chain at the right tension and sprockets, clutch cable lubed and adjusted correctly, bearings greased, gear change mechanism clean and lubed, good tyres at the right pressure, brakes cleaned. You could inspect the spark plugs and caps too and trim a few mm off the ht leads. Do all that and you'll be sorted
I ultrasonically cleaned the carbs last autumn and replaced the rubbers,
New air, oil and fuel filters fitted at the end of last month,
Chain is fitted with a scottoiler and tension checked every week - I keep it at 35mm. Replaced at end of march along with the sprockets after the last one snapped at 110. That was interesting...
I stripped the bike for a deep clean 2 weekends ago, now they've stopped salting the roads, everything was re-lubed. I changed front and rear wheel bearings and put a new pilot road 4 on the back. Front has a road 3 with 3mm of tread left.
March was when I fitted the stainless exhaust. Put new plugs in at the same time.
Last weekend I changed out the metal and friction clutch plates and did the cable.
I've done 12k since the 5th Jan. Servicing the bike every 1 -2 weeks. Current mileage is only 23,800 (ish).
Haven't seen this problem before. Need to take my time and go through this one thing at a time. Problem is I'm running out of things to change - I've almost got a new bike..! Lol
