Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Hard starting cold or hot
« on: 27 December 2023, 03:36:08 pm »
Hi, I went to start my 2003 FZS 1000 last night and she just spun up and didn't fire. Now I use the bike every day for work all weathers and she never misses a beat.
I left it a couple of minutes and tried again, she did eventually fire up. I then rode 40 miles home down the motorway and went to fill up ready for work again today.
Bearing in mind the engine was hot and fully up to temperature after the 40 mile ride, the same thing happened again. She spun over and over but wouldn't fire up.
I waited a minute and tried again, no luck. Last time and a big handful of throttle and she fired up!
Any ideas guys?
I put a new battery on a couple of months ago and it spins up with plenty of power, so I know the battery is fine.
I have a feeling it may be the fuel pump as it is a hot and cold start issue but if anyone else has experienced the same thing I'd be interested to know what you found.
