Today i wished i had a massive shed so that i could actually have all my toys at home instead of in a different state in storage....le sigh. Only have the FZS600 with me. All of the below are being ignored and collecting dust currently  . But hey he who dies with the most toys wins right? Doesn't matter if some of them don't go right?

Well this is what happened over the weekend:
Replaced the plugs.
Cut 5mm off the end of each plug lead and refitted the caps so they don't just spin freely.
Set the TPS, it was out.
Tried to balance the carbs but they are so far out of whack that number 2 managed to suck all the oil out of my makeshift balance tool.
I could mess around with it and make it work i'm sure but since i really want to have the bike balanced before i go to work tomorrow (i rode it today and it's well a bit rough) i'll probably just go buy some vacuum gauges on the way home. I can get away with just two gauges to sort the bike out so yeah...
The only adjustment i managed to do before the bike decided to gulp the oil down was a slight tweak on 1-2...those screws on the adjustment are damn sensitive actually!
So anyways tonight....balance it, live the dream of smooth running...woo.

And the brake light cooling assy? I've got one of these http://www.carcareshop.com.au/productImages/2983_TTP.jpg to refill the brake light reservoir without having to bleed it after  .If only they did a 110/70 17 for the 600. 110...hrmm now that you say that I think mine has a 120 front on it....doesn't seem to handle oddly but it is the tyre the bike came with so perhaps it'd be much nicer with the 'proper' 110 on it?Something else for me to look into...

There is proper plastic filler you can use. I used it on the lip of my silvia (with glass impregnated with super glue on the inside, resin wouldn't stick to that kind of plastic).
Came up mint.

I'll check the connections today and perhaps just change the caps later cos for that price why not? 80,000km on the bike I feel that I should just replace stuff as I go along.

Wow it must have been some hardcore rain! I'll keep it in mind  . I did notice the plug caps seemed to spin relatively freely on the wires as I took them out, so I'll sus them out and if they are loose on the wires I'll cut a bit off the ht lead and refit them before I do my balance. Do the caps ever die or is it mostly the connection between them and the ht lead that gives out?

I do my dirt bike chain at home with a hammer and dolly.
Been ages since I changed the chain on it but it seems to have done the job nicely.

Nah no rain, and from the design of the air box with that rubber around it and the snorkel I think I'd have to just about drown the bike to get any water in.
It was on a fresh tank of fuel which made me wonder about the servo I filled up at a little (not one I usually go to), but it's a long shot that it's bad fuel I think.
It happened to my mum once though, got contaminated fuel pumped into her car, it didn't like that! Servo had to pay to flush it all out.

Just the angle, they weren't too bad really.
Made myself a Carb synch tool today, checked the tps and it's out but I've not got any torx bits.
I'll get some tomorrow and set thay and balance the caarbs and ride it work this week and see how it is.
Started it today and no 3 cylinder running, just normal. It's only done it once so we'll see how it goes over the long run ay.

I made this for it. But the missus was snoozing on the lounge and probably wouldn't have liked being rocked by bike noise downstairs so I didn't actually use it yet

I've decided it's probably fuel I can smell, seems to have a whip about it even at main road speed. It only ran on three for probably a second or so and I blipped it and it went away. I changed the plugs tonight (started fine this arvo by the way), and the old ones didn't look too bad. The right colour (that tan look), one was a bit gummy around the top but there is a very slight rocker cover leak around number 3 it seems. Had a bit of a fight with a tiny bit of gravel that had wedged itself in next to the plug but I won in the end. Carb rubbers look excellent. My compression tester doesn't fit the small diameter plug holes so didn't try that. It's probably not been balanced in ages so I wanted to do that however over fuelling or leaking fuel into the bore overnight perhaps could be the problem? Maybe I'll pull the caarbs and clean them up etc. Oh and I discovered one of my Carb to airborne clamps is missing but I can't see it causing much issue. I'll replace it regardless. And the plugs below.

So I've just joined this forum and would you know it a day after I join I have an issue with the bike.
It only just happened this morning and i'm yet to do much investigation (cos i'm at work now), but I thought I'd throw up my symptoms.
-Hard to start this morning (25 degree weather, usually fires up first go)
-After starting ran on 3 cylinders until i gave it a rev.
-Faint smell of hot oil perhaps, my sense of smell isn't very good so it could be something else.
Up until now I've had no issues, i think i might have smelt the smell yesterday on my way home but i dismissed it as being from another car (i commute in a fair bit of traffic)
Bike is a 99 FZS600, 80,000km (50,000miles), standard apart from yoshi slip on, K&N filter. Recently i've fitted a new fuel filter (a few weeks ago, that's how long I've had the K&N in for as well).
All i've done is have a look around the bike in the carpark after i got to work, no visible leaks, carb rubbers look all solid and secure, basically externally it's all clean. Oil level is all good, water level is all good too.
So my plan of attack is:
Pull the plugs, read them, probably replace them cos why not (should tell me something surely!)
Check the HT leads with the multimeter.
Comp test cos it'll be easy to do with the tank off and plugs out as well.
Go from there.
While i have the tank off I'll likely balance the carbs, check the valves (and hope they don't need adjusting cos well i don't want to haha)
What's everyone's thoughts?
EDIT:
Doesn't appear to blow any smoke, looking over my shoulder and opening her up (safety first!) as I came in to work today.

Hey, I'm from Aussie land, I have an fzs600 and yeah I've joined the forum . My daily is a red fzs and myself and a mate have a white fzs for track duties. They aren't the most common bikes down here but good solid cheap things they tend to be. Anyways my daily I've got a yoshi pipe and a k&n filter and yeah it does the job pretty well. Track bike has no fairing (it was a crashed bike), Dan moto can, k&n filter, raised pegs, clip on, wider front wheel (as of today, my mate took it out to the track so he'll let me know how it went), cartridge emulators and r6 rear shock. He's a lot faster than me but even I can keep up with the supersports and the odd r1 in the medium group. Not that it's a fast bike, just that it cost us 400 bucks so I think we push it harder haha. Plans for my red bike are moving the bars forward (how far back are they standard!) which means fairing will come off. Got a current model Street triple headlight to go on. I'll put some vertical bar risers on to replace the set back ones and paint the underside of the tail black to make it seem smaller and probably cut down the yoshi pipe. Keep it sensible enough to commute on every day. Oh I'd like to cut down the numberplate holder too but only when I get a spare one to hack up. And some pics.
