Hi guys, I'm back again!
I went to the london bike show Sunday on the Fazer and I've still got the original symptoms!
- Initially it struggled to start in the morning; turning over but not catching for about 30 sec.
- I rode to the garage to fill up and the same thing happened.
- Then 2hrs of mainly motorway riding without a hitch.
- Spent several hours at show, then got back to bike, as before bike struggled before engine catched.
- 10min into ride home and after some short fast blasts off roundabouts etc... engine cuts out.
- I pull over and attempt to start. A big back fire, then several cranks it starts again.
- All fine for next hour on M4, then I overtake a bus, lane 3, high speed; engine cuts out!!!
- I coast towards hard sholder where I attempt to start while still rolling and it does...
- 20min later I'm home.
Prior to this run I took on all your advice; drained carbs, checked airbox & filter, new fuel filter, oil & filter, new plugs, trimmed HT leads, checked elect connections under the tank & seat, checked kill switch, cleaned sidestand switch and a new battery was replaced the other month etc...
When the engine starts and cuts out, it's like switching a light bulb on or off. No warnings at all?
The Fazer has always been kept in my garage for the last eight years of ownership; however I do wash it after every ride and it's done 50k miles now. I'm thinking it can only be the Datatool system 3, ECU or rectifier, so another weekend of fettling and head scratching for me...
If I can't fix it I'll have to admit defeat and book it into a dealer!
£££??? Any dealer recommendations or are there any of you experts out there I can bring it to?
