hi all anyone know the paint code for a 2003 Fazer 600 it’s the red colour possibly called vivid red, or where could I find the info possibly it may be on the data badge?

Do the carbs have to be stripped to go in the tank, or bung em in all in one piece?

Well new plug caps haven’t made any difference, I’ve noticed or seems to run perfect when on choke no lumpy running, but when the choke is backed off, that’s when it seems to run on 3 cylinders with no3 pipe not getting as hot as quick as the others.
I think a carb removal and check may be on the cards, but I’ll do that in winter, when the bike won’t be getting used so much

They were supposed to have been “professionally cleaned” prior to the bike going back on the road, although there’s no receipt to confirm this.

They’re the black right angle caps, the bike was laid up for years, only done 2k miles from new, apparently the carbs were professionally cleaned by the previous owner when it was recommissioned,so I’m hoping that was done correctly, they were out of balance so obviously weren’t set up when refitted.
I’ll get a set of the new caps,I need to eliminate those before digging deeper.
Incidentally the bike runs fine when warmed, acceleration and running at high revs fine, so if I need to remove the carbs and clean/check/adjust, it can wait until winter.
Thanks again.

It says for the 2002/03 bikes that it should be 2 1/2 turns, but 2 turns for the older bikes, I’ve just been out and started it from cold, and it’s back to sounding like it’s running on 3 cylinders f**k

Update
Redid the process again this morning, was able to take a bit more time as I’ve got the day off, took the starter motor off, and set all pilot screws to 2 1/2 turns out, as in the Haynes manual, got everything set up, I found I could just prop the tank up, like a car bonnet, using a bit of plastic waste pipe with notches cut in The ends to secure it against whatever shape it touched at each end ( I’m a plumber, so got odd lengths of all sorts of pipe laying around )
Made sure I had the carbtune in a dead vertical position, did TPS, warmed up and found no 3 was way out, 1&2 needed a little adjustment 3&4 needed a big adjustment, then 1&2/3&4 needed a big adjustment.
So, after that it ticked over a lot better, sounded a lot smoother and picked up on the throttle a lot better, not been out for a ride yet, knees a bit sore as I did a 45 mile charity cycle ride yesterday, so I’ll check that in due course.
Thanks for all the help 👍

Thanks, I’ll see if I can print that out, I already knew what the process was, but didn’t know the TPS had to be set before and after.

Thanks, now I know what I’m looking for il try and check the setting on those in the next couple of days, no3 looks like it’s a pain to get to, possibly remove starter motor?

I’ve got a 2003 fazer600 tickover is a bit lumpy, it seems that it’s running on 3 with no 3 exhaust pipe not getting hot as quickly as the others, ignition wise all is ok, new plugs fitted all sparking
So got my carbtune all set up, and what I found is that no 3 didn’t move off minimum setting with the other 3 at various settings.
I managed to balance 1&2, then went to do 3&4 but again I couldn’t get no 3 to alter, I then set the other 3 to no 3 to try and get it to run smoothly
I’m wondering if the pilot screw is not set properly, but where are they? The manual shows a view, but it’s a joint manual with the thundercat, and it of course shows the cat carb not the fzs one
Anyone got a pic of where the pilot screws are?
TIA

Hello everyone my name is Ian and I’m a second time Fazer owner from a Gravesend in Kent.
My first bike was a yellow 2002 foxeye 600, which I bought when it was a couple of years old, and had to sell it as we needed the money at the time, I was gutted.
Having owned a few different bikes since, and not feeling really attached to any of them, I managed to find another Fazer, a red 2003 foxeye 600, the first time I went out for a decent ride on bank holiday Monday, it felt like being reunited with an old friend, it was lovely, I will keep this one until I’m too old to ride.
Anyone local to me? Get in touch for a meet up.
