Changed to headstock bearings on my 2014 Fazer 800 as they had a definite 'detent' in the straight ahead position, and was very surprised to find that they were balls and not taper rollers.

Have changed them to taper rollers with a kit from a bearing place in Aldershot.

I would expect balls on a smaller bike, but not on something this size. I believe the frame is similar to the Fazer thou, do they have balls as well?

I had a FZS600 previously and I'm sure it was taper rollers as standard on that.

Hi Guys.
I have a problem with my 2014 Fazer 800.

It has suddenly developed a stuttering misfire at low revs with small throttle openings. I commute daily, so this is a lot of my journey in this state.

Whack the throttle open at higher revs and it goes like a scalded cat, clears out completely but back to lower revs and smaller throttle opening, it comes back.

Run a bottle of injector cleaner through it, made no difference

Serviced 5000 miles ago with new plugs, checked them again and gaps had opened up quite a bit. Replaced with new Iridiums, and initially was OK, test ride of 2-3miles was fine.

Bike was off the road over Christmas in a dry garage when I changed the plugs, test ride was in the dry as well. Bike was under a cover, but it rained heavily overnight before my commute. Not sure if this is connected but I thought I'd add for completeness.

Just read about an ECU reset procedure so will try that.

Bike has 38000 miles on it, and as far as I know has never had the shims checked, it is booked in for this next week. 
Also I tried to buy a fuel filter but Yamaha doesn't list one as it's part of the pump. Didn't know if the plethora of aftermarket ones could be trusted or even if they would fit this rarer bike.

Any help appreciated.

As per title, I have a couple of Akrapovic cans but no link pipe for the factory collector. If somebody could help please...?

My bar ends are scuffed, anyone sitting on one or two unmarked originals or good copies?

My front right indicator is similarly scuffed, any unmarked indicators out there?

The bracket on the exhaust collector box that retains the two cables above the pulley. 5LV-14849-00. I know I can get a repo stainless one but just like everything original. Good S/H or new. Thanks.

Wondering if I can get some advice with a fuelling issue I’ve had for a little while now.

The bike runs well gets good spark etc but after running for a little while the bike starts bogging before cutting off completely and not starting for another little while. During this I’ve checked the height of fuel in the float bowl and it seems to drain almost completely and doesn’t refill so I thought it would be stuck float valves but after taking the carbs off and looking all seems good. The pump primes as normal and fuel can get through the system to the carbs but the float bowls just don’t fill up. The pump primes okay, the tank breather is ok, it’s had a new filter since when I first had a fuelling issue I replaced it and the fuel pump which worked for a little while. I also switched out the side stand switch and relay which when tested were faulty but the issue still seems to be there.

I’m thinking maybe I didn’t properly check the tubes that join the carbs together and there’s a blockage there before the float valves but does anyone have any advice, thoughts or ideas on where I should look next.

Thanks

Wanted, low mileage, good condition FZS1000 gen1, cash waiting for the right bike.

Hi.. I've an 02 Fazer1000 and the coolant has started drip quite quickly from the little port on the sump. I'm thinking of new pump, then reconditioning the old one to have a spare. Back on the road sooner that way.
Any tips regarding changing it please?
