Gen 2 intermittent starting.

I uploaded the 2008 FZ1 service manual to the site this morning. It will give the location of all the bits

cheers!


almost got some days off so looking forward to tinkering.

Watching the revs after start up the other day I also noticed that it appears to be ticking over quite low at about 800rpm and I've read that 1300rpm is more suitable for the FZ1...thing is I cant quite remember it ticking over this low before or maybe it was and I just didn't notice.

Also I removed the baffle recently didn't I and so that also got me thinking along the lines of has removing the baffle somehow affected back pressure.....I think i'll stick the baffle back in anyway and then see what the tick over is like and if it is still low then I've looked up where the tick over adjustor is so i'll put it up a bit over the 1000rpm at least.

& then if it is indeed just a connector then I've also managed to adjust and spray and good few other bits n bobs anyway so happy days.

Hey chaps i had a little bit of time and was desperate to get out for a spin so i haven't done all the connectors yet but i did do the following:-


Put the baffle back in.


Took the gear linkage off and back on at a different angle on the splines...adjusted it.


Increased the idle to about 1300rpm


Some more graphite spray in the ignition.


I did about 50 miles and i stopped 3 times and restarted with not a single starting issue but ill need more of a long term test to see if it does it.


The airbox mod is awesome and theres a really deep growl at about 5-6k revs before wind noise blocks it out...really cool though.


I've also noticed that one of or maybe all of the mods have made the throttle less snatchy which is a good result [size=78%] [/size]
