So just picked up my 2nd Fazer (left to me a late friend)
The bikes only done 16000 and it's a 1998 fzs600 , been sat for a long time so I've had the carbs off and cleaned them , drained the tank and repaired the petcock ,
After getting the carbs back on and firing her up she ran lovely , took her for a run up and down the road to see how she feels and she felt lovely
Now for the issue , 2nd gear seems to whine alot louder than any other gear , my 1999 Fazer doesn't make a sound anything like it ,
A bit worried about it, how worried should I be ? Is the gearbox ruined

hi can anyone tell me how long the standard clutch should last? I know it would depend on riding style etc just a general idea would be good as my 1000 has done 42k now and its on the last of its adjustment at the engine actuator arm and the gear change is quite notchy now
thanks

I’ve recently bought another FZS1000 and been trying to get it to run right. It stutters at low revs (up to 3k) and backfires on overrun. It pulls well above 3k but doesn’t feel as powerful as my previous but that maybe because it had an Ivan’s “slip on” kit, which I haven’t yet installed on this one. It’s done 46k
I’m looking for ideas on what may be the problem as I’m running out of ideas myself.
-
- Stripped and cleaned carbs
- Cleaned jets, checked sizes. Needle size & position
- Checked diaphragms for punctures
- Balanced Carbs
- Set valve clearances
- TPS failed so new TPS, set to 5k (tried 10k bounce)
- Checked & cleaned electrical connectors
- New filters (air, fuel & oil)
- Check resistances etc on Coils, TPS, sender, plug caps
- Swapped out plug caps to make an equal set
- Cut recommended ½” from ignition leads
- Changed plugs (CR9E & [color=rgb(17, 17, 17)]CR9EIX[/color])
- [color=rgb(17, 17, 17)]Stripped Exup & straightened to ensure it opened & closed smoothly, rebuilt & adjusted[/color]
Seems to runs best with mixture screws 2½ turns out
Plugs are whiteish
I haven’t checked the compression yet but don’t see any indication that is the problem.
My next thought is a worn cam chain, anyone any experiences with this or know where I can find timing for valve opening & closing?
If I replace it, I am assuming I will have to use a “split” chain (at £80) rather than the original endless (at £24), unless anyone can advise a way to do it without splitting the crankcase.

If you have ever adjusted the carburettor pilot screws on the 600 Fazer you will know how restricted the space is on number 3 carb. If you have dainty fingers you might be able to use a very short screwdriver, but I can't. You can buy a bent tool for £18 which is probably good for most bikes but which I found possible but tricky to use on number 3 carb on the 600 Fazer. There is also a much more expensive tool available that uses a pair of small bevel gears and would no doubt do the job well. After seeing a similar idea to this on another forum this is a tool I made using an angled screwdriver from Toolstation for £6.59 and which makes the job a lot easier. Very pleased with the end result which makes the adjustment easy. The chrome extension tube was something I had lying about from some scrapped item.

| White power shock help/user manual anyone? |

Hi All, I just bought an FZS1000 which has a white power shock fitted. I can see there are 3 adjusters which I'm guessing are low and high rate compression, at the top, and rebound at the bottom, but I was hoping someone might have a user manual to clarify things for me please? I can't see any markings on the shock to indicate what model it is or which adjuster is which.
Any help appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Karl

Has you ever heard of using exhaust pipe temperature as a guide when adjusting the pilot screw?
Just for interest I measured to temperature of the exhaust pipes shortly after starting from cold and ticking over for a couple of minutes and I was surprised to find number 3 pipe only got to about 70C when the others had got to about 100C. When I ran it at 2200 revs for a couple of minutes all four got to about the same temperature. I could detect a slight unevenness at tick-over but it never bothered me when riding the bike, which has now done 60,000 miles. After checking cylinder pressures and valve clearances etc. I decided to have a go at a little adjustment of the pilot screw on number three which did smooth out the tick-over. However after letting it all cool down and starting again the tick-over was still smooth but number three ex pipe was still not getting hot as quick as the others. Another 1/4 turn out and now all four pipes get hot at the same time and tick over still smooth. Hence my question about making final adjustments based on exhaust pipe temperature heating up from cold, because I've never heard of it being done that way, and you would normally make such adjustment with everything warmed up.
