Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Rough suspension settings for 50mm rear lift?
« on: 14 March 2016, 05:13:03 pm »
Standard suspension still, just wondering if anyone has a baseline I can fine tune from? 95kg of British boeuf!

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Re: What wheelie technique?
« on: 14 March 2016, 05:09:54 pm »
Much more control with the clutch, I could wheelie my Drz through all the gears, and even my old gsx750f, so it's odd it seems such a struggle on this! Clutch brings the bike right where you need it in one go, rolling the throttle tends to build too much momentum making flipping a hell of a lot easier...

Raised the needles anyway big improvement! Might be because sea level, and damn cold atm, may switch back for the summer!

I've fitted led bulbs to my standard brake lights, brighter than normal, and more power for my heated grips ha

Had a reply from Ivan, he's said the only way to clean it up is crossover pipe welded onto the exhaust headers 
. Looks like I'll just have to deal with it!

I think I'll avoid it 
haha.
So there seems to be no record of anyone shimming the needles half a clip lower? As mentioned prior there is evidence on some of the fz1oa dynos that shows it's a little rich at that point. I know dropping the needle slightly will change the fuelling all-over... But by how much?

Should have gone pods really shouldn't I since Ivan doesn't sell the pods with the velocity stacks any more, where would they be sourced? Or how long were they? Is the only difference with the kit the main jets or is everything different? Not really considering... But if it's easy I love getting rid of clutter....

Even Ivan's own dynos show a flat spot there

I've found this where someone has had a similar problem,
http://www.yamahafz1oa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=59308&highlight=ivan+flat+spot
But the post ended on a cliffhanger
Looking at dynos they seem to get a little bit rich just as the needle comes into play... Perhaps I should drop the needle half a clip.. Or a clip?

To me it feels as though it's slightly lean for that revs (and with CV carbs surely the slide is at a similar position each time?)
I know it's a completely different kettle of fish, but I've jetted my 300 2 smoke perfectly, and it feels like a lean condition on the needle, not the 2 stroke "booowaaaahhhh" noise, but just soft and fluttery I suppose, no crackling or bogging...

Full akrapovic, airbox mod, k&n (cleaned), needles middle clip, one plastic shim, one steel per needle (2002 fzs1), slides drilled, 10mm clipped from springs, measured with vernier afterwards and filed sharp ends down. Inlet rubbers ported, as similar as they can be without a gauge (I'm a toolmaker). Bypass jets drilled etc. Did everything exactly to the dot, cleaned out the carbs while I did it, checked for any damage etc...

They make slip ons and full systems. Looks real to me, mine has the full system, attached for comparison.

Just a mild flat spot at 4-5k rpm, if the kit leans the mixture somewhat, might be worth dropping the needle one click... What you think? Set up as per ivans instructions. MB kit, akra exhaust, k&n filter

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / R6 rear shock what is required?
« on: 01 March 2016, 09:43:49 am »
From a little digging it seems I need an 05-11 r6 rear shock, and 10mm shorter dog bones. Is this all? Or are there different bearings or bushes etc required?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Put it back on, it definitely smooths out the little flat spot at 5k rpm

Mine was pretty well sealed tbh, and I used 5mm fittings and hose (what's the point in larger diameter if what's feeding it is smaller anyway??)

Just tried 1-4/2-3, still greatly reduced idle. Capped them off, the idle isn't as consistent, but is much higher, so I'm gonna keep them off.

Where abouts are you reving before you pull in and dump the clutch? Video on YouTube seems to be about 50mph in second

Just wondering what your opinions are on the crossover? I made the all4 adaptor up, and fitted it after syncing my carbs (I rode the bike with them blanked first). First though was that the idle was WAY lower, I had to screw in the adjuster a lot. It takes a long time for the engine to get hot enough to idle properly, more like my 2 stroke. And secondly, it did smooth out the power, but also feels like there might be less?
Now the 1-4/2-3 makes a little more sense to me, as when the valves are closed there will be a positive pressure in one inlet tract, while the other is drawing a vacuum... Now, if the carb with open valves is drawing from this positive pressure, surely this reduces the amount of draw through it's carb, in which lower velocity would result in less fuel being delivered to the cylinder, as its the velocity that aids fuelling?
I'm pretty much set on removing the system, but if I'm wrong about 1-4/2-3, it might pose some benefits... Just wondering what you've all found works best?
Cheers!

Just wondering what technique you guys are using, what gear, what revs, what speed? I've not tried first gears yet, but I'm struggling in second, used to be able to get my 750 gix up easy in second, but I'm struggling on the fazer...

Full akro so no exup. Clutch in does quiet gearbox chatter a fair amount... Maybe I'll check my valve clearances soon...

Can only assume it is. Obviously chains are better looser than tighter. But there's a ticking noise that doesn't seem to be related to anything... Very odd, probably just being over cautious

The video makes it sound horrific, but it's really quite quiet. There's just a couple ticking noises that aren't very consistent that I can't put my finger on, does this sound healthy to you? Just synced carbs and adjusted cam chain tensioner, (I adjusted it by first taking it apart and cleaning/lubing it, then put it in, wound in by fingers until felt resistance, then backed out a full turn, started engine, wound in with fingers until tight, and backed out 1/6th turn, and tightened.)
