FZS600 Fazer / Cam chain rattle

« on: 28 May 2014, 08:22:05 pm »

Hi all!
i know this has been done to death, but wanted to clear some things up. My cam chain is rattling (badly i think, seems more then a ticking), and im getting worried about riding it. (especially after i read this thread about the engine giving up).

Whats likely to be the cause and how do i fix it?

i reset the cam chain tensioner about 6 months ago (though noticed that there were two ball bearings in to make it push more)
the bike is on 60k miles (1998)

any ideas?

General / CB radio

« on: 22 April 2014, 10:48:04 am »

I'm in the proses of getting a CB radio on the bike, though I'm after a system where I can have music playing while the radio is not receiving, and mutes the music for the radio.

has anyone got any solutions to this?

FZS600 Fazer / Engine Temp warning light

« on: 29 October 2013, 02:39:18 pm »

The LED in my rev counter that comes on when the engine gets too hot doesn't work, and wants replacing (no continuity over it)

I was assuming it was 12v, but then my brother sugested it may not be the obvious 12 v, anyone know what it should be?

cheers
Boris

FZS600 Fazer / Charging system issues

« on: 23 October 2013, 02:48:01 pm »

My bikes broken :cry2:

its something to do with charging the battery.

if i start the bike and then disconnect the battery it cuts out.

tested the resistance of the alternator coils and all three are reading at 0.6 ohms (the spec is 3.36 - 4.4 ohms). this is out of spec, though all three are evenly so. There is no continuity to earth.

Mr Haynes says i cant test the rectifier, i can either swap it for a known good one or take it to a yam dealer to do it.

any ideas what to do next?
