...am now thinking.............REGULATOR/RECTIFIER............your thoughts please peoples
Disappointing.Can u find a fellow FZS owner who can leave his bike with you for 24 hours while you swap over all electrical parts until you find the culprit? Would save you spending another small fortune replacing the wrong parts.Beers usually do the job
afternoon....early lunch today (mid top end stripdown ) . Red mate, jets are now 2 sizes up ( stock 115 now 120). tend to just read posts nowrather than comment, especially after that cctv farce with poor old Clive. possibly getting too cliquey for my liking ( been on other forums that have gone that way. pity really ) keep at it matey....rest assured, i`m watching from afar from time to time
The stainless headers that red has came from my bike which ran fine when it had them. At the time it was running a standard air filter and standard end can as well - so practically an identical setup to redUnfortunately I don't know what make / brand they are as they came with the bike - I'll have a rummage in the old paper work and see if the previous owner kept the receipt but I don't think so
think the only diff that ade had was a aftermarket end can?....dont know when he fitted his headers though,ie, before his trouble or after?...but he never did find out why he had to re-jet? did he?......see how you get on red? i now know of someone with a spare fuel relay if it is that at fault?...and will let you have it cheap!!
senior moment just checked the valve clearences again,not checked since i adjusted them a few weeks ago gaps are way too small so look back through my notes and i can see where i went wrong exhaust clearences were too small,so i replaced the shim with the next size UP ....SHOULD HAVE GONE DOWN [size=78%]the phrase dumb ass springs to mind[/size] ....i took [size=78%] note of the shims i fitted so easy to change but i will check the clearences again this afternoon just to make sure[/size][size=78%]not done that before.......must be my age [/size]
