Hello fello Foccers
I'm very lucky to have the privilege of knowing someone who own an old run way strip, so I often get the pleasure of experiencing all 95hp of the fazer
However the past few weeks the bike has struggled to get over 110 / 115. It seems to run out of steam (when I know it could easily hit 135)
The bike runs absolutly fine up to around 95 - 100, with no bogs, or hints of troubles. I havn't noticed any specific lack of power but there could well be without realising it. I ride the bike very mild manored 95% of the time and just like doing some fast runs on the airfield/track when I can.
It doesn't suddenly bog down or cut out, there doesn't seem to be a lack of revs .. i.e ... its not like it doesn;t go over 8000rm or something, they still appear to rise.
Could anyone suggest any points to look at ? So far i've only had the time to check the plugs and spins the wheels to make sure theres no binding or bearing troubles.
the bike: 2003 FZS 600, 26,500 miles on it (its still due the 24000 mile valve clearance check :/ )
Its had new air filter very recently, sprocket and chain appear fine, probably around 1/2 - 3/4 of its life span (still stock). Tyres are corrcet pressures etc. I wonder could it be clutch slippage ?
and in case you foccers hadn't seen enough fazers, heres the bike in question
Meet Baron ... yes ... the red Baron
[/size]And for you all to laugh at heres me being a complete moron six months ago when I put the new down pipes on ... [size=78%].. yeah there the wrong way round ...
Cheers guys - see you at the NEC !!
