I've seen orangey brown crystals form that block jets happened to my XT600 last year after a short while of been laid up over winter.

Is that definitely attributable to the ethanol contained in the fuel?.

Would that have happened in the past when petrol didn't contain a portion of ethanol?.

Can't directly say but varnish in green/orange/brown forms in any fuel systems but petrol defo goes off quicker nowadays since introduction of the stuff !

Why not do the simple mod takes a few mins literally I done my one a few weeks ago it's better but I still need more light.
I'll try hid light but buy a car set off eBay much cheaper than one so called made for the bike Ive done other bikes &
it's a straight forward fit no wiring mods needed just find somewhere to put the ballast.

Hi mate, is the fuel tank available?

Sold the tank & rest of bodywork on eBay main bits left are on my revised list above

Some bikes benefit an extra tooth on the front for lower revs cruising I think they are quick enough OEM or buy the FZS 1000cc you'll know when exup valve opens G force grin all the way up the box & rev range 😆

They don't need a dyno jet kit.
Been there, done that, had to change back to OEM for it to run right again.

Ok thanks I'll forget that then

On my bike I had carb problems blocked green/brown crust after cleaning them still not starting or firing ?
Found out O rings knakerd thus flooding tried a 2nd set that was on donor bike it ran but not brilliant but it ran,so I took them apart but not the best condition the screws only just came out of the float bowls ! so as my originals are clean I swapped the seats & O rings.


Bike started ran but died after warming up ? I realised too rich pilot screws set at OEM so two & three quarters of a turn out it runs ok now don't need choke to start either bike has a K & N filter.
I still get a slight hesitation around 2000rpm otherwise it pulls like a train I'm considering a dyno jet kit

Fed up with stainless pipes not lining up right with rear can so took them off cut at a joint & rewelded them I will post up finished pics tomoz

Sounds like the immobiliser could be playing up 1st thing I did was get rid of the 16 year old alarm off my recent purchase, as had one on my 1st fazer a few years ago went tits up & was lucky it was a simple job to remove I remember happily bashing my large hammer onto it in joy 😂
Some are wired directly into loom & same color wires easier to change that than faf about too much lol

In my van I often make them swerve back into their space cos I don't slow down or stop like some pussys do my road is classic enough room to have parked cars either side & still pass a bus but they will sit over white line 🙄

What are they made with fibreglass or plastic ? I see lots is stringy bits holding them together & the front mount hooks on ?

I'm interested in the rear mud guard, any chance of some pictures of it please?

You did say mudguard not hugger 🙄 lol no worries

Sounds like a loose earth wire,dirty battery terminal or connector in the electrical box maybe ?
