I would think there is defo 2 issues , as I have had this, " not starting issue," months before the   misfire came on.
what does the black wiring plug "under the tank" link up , this was the dirtier of two

I rode 30 miles with engine running well, last night , left the bike for a couple of hours and then back to the sudden death syndrome. Finally started after a lot of cranking. I wagged the side stand ,ignition key and kill switch neither of which seemed to make any difference. I only remember seenig two terminal blocks under the tank , both of which I separated  and WD 'd. This is weird having two electrical issues at the same time.

New coil came today , after fitting ,misfire fault has gone ! Can't be sure on the "Sudden death issue" ,Time will tell ! But i'm quite happy at £20 delivered for a new coil. I'll update after a good  long ride

It crossed my mind that it might be the cdi unit, but I'll wait till coil comes before I do anymore.  A local dealer has a thou so he might be minded to traspose bits over . i've no illusions that a main yamaha dealer would cost me a packet ,
Ignition barrel is ok I think . the key fit is good anyhow.

Calmer today , I took tank of and pulled apart the white block and another black one. lagged everything in sight with WD "thanks Mike"!. Bike seems to start better. So hopefully cracked the sudden death syndrome. I need to change the coil though, as the first issue was on no 1 cylinder , its better now but still not 100%.  What does the white terminal block connect up?
Thanks all, great forum!

I did not know of a white block under tank being an issue. I repeatedly flicked the kill switch and the side stand . the RAC man wagged everything in sight under seat and behind side pannels
He  certainly removed and refitted the cdi unit plug. But It seemed  to restart with non of these being at issue. I'll give it a go with WD when the stress level has gone down a bit. Good stuff WD ,used it for years. Thanks for imput Mike.

Getting to the point where i'm stumped.  I got a coil from a breaker from a kawasaki but similar.Fitted it,  Engine started up nicely and ran cleanly whilst in nuetral . once round the block and its misfiring on more than one . I took out the number one plug that was previously black now its clean. started again cleanly round the block ditto. seams like some sort of ht breakdown .
In the interim I went to the local garage to get some petrol, bike would not re start. call out RAC , he check sparks , nothing dead, Then  just as mysteriously restarted
.This has happened twice before so the issue may not be related. but now back home bike starts but still the missfire issue.  seems I need to get a Fazer coil, then that is one unknown quantity
out of the equation.  any more ideas guys before I book it in somewhere

I checked supplied links thanks Mike ,Neither really fit my case .I took the bike to a local dealer for a compression test . no1's ok so thats a relief. also got the plug end cap checked for resistance,   bike does not smell rich and even ticks over fairly well.  I don't get a fuel feeling  about this issue,On the short ride to the dealers it felt like maybe there is another cyclinder coming and going. so maybe a dicky coil or associated wiring. A local breaker has a coil so wortha a try

Mine is quite noisy, it makes  quite a clang at low speeds it can be felt through the footrests, checked it recently and everything is free  and no tacho code issue.  seems to be working normally
I don't remember this noise in the first season of ownership though.

Yes  Mike I swapped plug and the fault stayed on no1.  Gonna get a compression test at a local bike dealer then if thats ok I'll check the carbs. looks possible to get a float bowl of the no 1 cylinder at a pinch ? engine does not smell rich though despite the missfire

Whats the individual coil route ? I did not know this was an option on a gen1. the plug cap looked ok but i'll double check

I  have taken approx 1 cm from no 1 plug lead , also checked the no1  carb diaphram . that is ok . its goana be fiddly to get the float chamber of . is there anything else  I should check before trying. do this ,faulty coils act up like this.? "engine clears above 3000 revs

Thanks for imput guys , carb stubbs are sound,  bike has done around 33000 . It is ridden infrequently . its an 05 ,around 10000 miles since I did the ivan mod+boots+ ignition advance+ air pump removal. always garaged. seemed a good spark whilst the spare plug was hung on the no1 lead " with engine running". reconnected still missing on no1. Not done any more yet

Out on a gentle ride with chick on back today, I had to abort my ride after a serious misfire developed.
I managed to get back home and started to investigate, I  quickly narrowed  problem to number one cylinder . I changed plug , no different,  I hung a spare plug onto number one lead this seems to have a good spark,  starting to look  serious. anybody got any tips on likely issues.  seems a compression test is a next step ,starting to sweat!

Just got the thou going again today, besides the exup service, I changed the plugs / fuel filter/ blew out air filter. Seems smoother now. exup still clacks a little,
I need a longer ride to check all is well,  but seems promising. Feels huge after many weeks on my 600

Update the exup seems to working fine ,bike is running better since plugs etc. exup is still clacking, can't remember it being so noisy before?
