Haha no worries , if you look at the picture from say where you'd be looking sitting on the bike , that black panel that runs horizontal down the the left and right , the right side price has broken the mount closest to you

Measure the fittings closest in the photo and it's 13.5" and since the headlights are the same if that back is right then think you'll be good! Think the frames are the same size as well so think it is ok

Hi mate , sorry couldn't say for sure but I know the headlights fit the same and the bikes basically identical so I would think yes , attached some closer photos so you can see. Thanks

Hi , yea as far as I've read that's right for the 400, but just looking at the light I'd say it's for a 600 and someone's swapped it out...

Hi all , decided to sell my bike as I dont use it anymore really and ive got some other parts, if your interested let me know and may be able to sort packaging for the smaller parts or may need collection from Vauxhall, London. Bike is a 1998 Fazer 400 has A2 license restriction certificate and come with the restrictors... 20500 miles different headlight and wide bars. Make me an offer parts wise.. got a set of carbs , one of the chokes is broken off. front airing screen headlight stock exhaust mirrors and mounts again just make me a offer as they're only sitting there. cheers

Yea took some time but happy with the outcome haha Yea I've always cold those 'ace bars' but not sure if that's the same name haha I like clip ons aswell ... If I can find a nice cheap run about that I can work on separately I can do the conversion properly  Looking into a new clock now like a signal unit... Ideally I want to make a modern bike look like a classic so I get all the reliability with the retro looks  Thanks though mate

Thanks guys , when I first got them they was actually 2" wider haha but kinda got used to them now , on a nice open ride they pretty comfortable! Seating angles a bit more aggressive but good, just a bit of a pain when you've got leather/wet gear and a rucksack on its a bit tight haha

Hi guys , Got myself a FZS400 to do some work on and needed some help with running hence joining. I'm a welder from London, I've only really worked on classic cars, here are my two, 1982/1985 Capri, the blue one I built from scratch on my own and the gold one I restored a couple years back, I designed a stainless exhaust for the blue one and would like to make a nice twin pipe stainless system for the bike.... I bought my fazer with the intention of making a cafe racer... I started doing it but soon realised the frame was not lending itself to it and since I use the bike everyday I don't have time to cut it and make it right so all I've done is change the bars ,headlight as put a stripe on it haha Bars are pretty wide but got used to them commuting now haha.... Previously I had/have a Honda vf400fd I had a lot of trouble getting parts for a engine rebuild... So decided the fazer would be better , changed sprockets and chain , then had a problem with running but found blocked jets thanks to unfazed and others Anyway that's the bike , can't wait for summer to actually start getting a proper ride on it

I can't cancel my order now since it's through Yamaha directly and paid but might still have them for spares! You don't happen to have the tps sensor aswell?

I just blow through the jets from the two carbs that wasn't working and down the holes they came from , when I take the carbs off I'll blow back
Don't think it's choke but I'll check that aswell
I'll let you know how I get on , thanks!

Thanks , but then I've only got them 2 turns out and it's still too rich (they're on the engine side) I think I'll sort this sticking float then ride around and check again , just wanna get this thinking running right now haha

ok well good news and bad news...
good news! had some time today so thought sod it ill take the carbs out and check the jets...
looked in the jets and 2 pretty much completely blocked! blow through and perfect! checked all the others and they was fine... ( out of interest i guess the idle jet is the long one with the holes in the side..?)
so put it all back together about a hour or two ago... fired up and perfect! balanced the carbs and sorted! idled lovely revved up perfect..
now the bad news...
locked up the garage pulled away and miss fired... didn't take much noticed then it go worse and worse so pulled up in a petrol station to see if i didn't put something on or caught something and the vacuum pipe for cylinder three was not sealed to pushed the bolt in properly... went to start the bike and nothing! just turning over , checked for spark.. all good..
then it smelt flooded so put my headphones in and watched some videos on my phone went to start and nothing , twisted the throttle a little and bang on it come but only on 3 with one not firing at all and wouldn't rev up... then looked underneath and fuel poring out the overflow from the air box! anyway managed to get it back to the garage (very slowly) and quickly pulled the plugs and no.4 is dripping wet so now the new problem...
.Stuck float? i was adjusting the levels again to day and all was perfect! ( read they shoudl be 4mm over the float bowl seam??) so guess that or what?
.Also when i pulled all the plugs they are all running rich (black) i set the pilot screw on the bottom to two turns out but when i bought the bike they was 3? it seems to run fine when it is but was jsut wondering is screwing in or out making it richer or leaner...?
so now im sitting in the office at work waiting to be picked up and ill get a boring train into work tomorrow and pull the carbs again...

Thanks guys, the guy I bought the bike off was using it till I bought it (4months ago) so hasn't been sitting around. Your right , I don't think my testers were sitting properly in the plug holes because when I brought them out they was marked along the bottom edge. I had time to whip of the rocker cover and check valves clearances, and there all pretty much within spec (1 or 2 are 1thou tight or so) I have a lot of time to think about this on my commute to and from work haha , so I'm starting to think it's a jet hopefully ( I should've really checked when I was doing the float levels the other day) That all I can think of, without going much further into pistons and ring which id rather not haha I might try get some pictures / videos to show what I'm doing... Unfortunately my dad managed to snap the 5 way carb fuel joining pipe when we had them out so I've ordered a new one from Japan so until that comes I don't want to pull the carbs and start playing with them because I've managed to keep it going with some tube an T peices and it's not leaking yet haha

I leave it on its side stand over night , but it's the two (sitting on the bike) right side cyclinders... 3 is mostly firing , 4 will not fire on idle , this morning ( ice on the bike ) no choke started on the button (3 cylinders) put on the choke held at 2000rpm and it was firing on all 4 , took choke off and back to three/two , compression check showed
(Left to right ) 1.70psi 2.80psi 3.nothing at all 4.100psi
Looking at the 600 manual I have , they're no where near spec (217) but not sure what 400 spec is?
Put a cyclinders leak tester on it..
1.10%leak 2.10%leak 3.90%leak 4.80%leak
How can cyclinders 4 show more compression then any other but have such a big leak?!
Someone hand me a lighter.....

Hi , thanks for the reply , I never knew you replied so sorry for the delay,

Hi guys,
Got a probably with my bike, when idling the two ride side(3/4) cylinders are not running , once riding about 2500rpm it fires on all 4 ,
Things I've checked...
Spark , yes
Fuel , yes
Throttle cable slack
Air filter
Coils
Throttle position sensor
Starter diode
Pickups
Kill switches
Side stand
Float bowl fuel level
Butterfly's
Vacuum balancing
New plugs
New caps
Carbs have been apart
Diaframs are good,
So saying all that any ideas? I'm stumped haha
You can literally sit at a red light and pull the lead of the plug and bo change to idle.
Any more ideas will help!
Thanks guys

Hi guys , new too the forum but looking for some help...
I've bought a fz400 pretty cheap and runs very well but ive noticed the head on the frame is tweaked. No other evidence of a crash since the bike is crazy clean , had forks and yokes out... its defiantly the frame.
so I dont have a problem swapping frames , gives me something to do but i cant find a 400 frame! so my question is ....
Will a 1998 600 frame fit.. i know head bearings are different but the engine mount look in the same place but swings are and suspension Im not sure....
Im taking loads of measurements from my bike now so i can go look at this frame.
if anybody knows any problems let me know.I do a fair amount of welding so dont mind some modification to the frame but dont want to go crazy.
thanks guys
