FZS600 Fazer / Re: 1999 Fazer 600 surging power

I hadn't overfilled it by much. I only dropped out about 150mls. I just loosened the drain plug enough for it to drain slowly and watched the level on the window drop until correct level.

I don't understand it either just glad it's working again but I wish i'd tried one thing at a time rather than the both together then I would have known which one cured the problem. I suspect it was the oil though.

Can anyone explain how oil level effects performance other than the obvious no oil or 5 litres too much oil
Something to do with pressurising the crankcase?

Maybe. You can't argue with results but I don't understand it

Drooped some oil out of mine today and it is now working and running great yet again. I also put the old air filter back in so not quite sure which one cured the problem, should have done one at a time

Thanks to all for the advice and suggestions.

when i changed my oil the bike ran shite between 4-8k, there was no power.

dropped it so it was 1mm above the lowest point on the sight gauge and it was like having my bike back but better.

Thanks to all for the advice so far. Going to try the air filter, checked for kinked pipe under tank and also may drop a little oil out.

Thanks again.

I've got a go pro and have put it under the headlights on the fairing with one of the scotch sticky mounts and had no problems with vibration.

Hi all can anyone come up with a good place to put a camera
on the bike so it does get to much vibration ?

Hi all,
i'm new to the forum. Had my 1999 Fazer 600 for 4 yrs now. I gave it a service yesterday, plugs, air filter and new oil and filter. took it out today and it aint running right at all. Under hard acceleration it is losing power then as you roll off the throttle it seems to pick up again. I'm thinking it could be the park plugs but thought i'd stick a post on here for some much needed advice as going on a tour of Scotland next month.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
