I bought a couple of led stop tail bulbs to replace the crap normal bulbs that I have fitted at the moment, I have to open up the hole slightly for them to fit, the bulbs I got give out a white light and I will take a comparison picture to see how much difference there is

in the end I ended up fitting ebc clutch plates, with genuine new springs. now the clutch bites mid way rather at the end, which is a massive difference, I am very happy, but I have a question, is there a procedure in how to bed in the clutch plates?

I've just joined the Forum and as I stated in the Introduction Forum I found this site when I Google searched with my symptoms. My FZS 600 is a 2003 only 3500 miles on the clock and I've owned it for 2 years. It has a K+N filter and has a Beowolf Can with baffle in. It was fine last year. Because of work and weather I put it into the shed last October.
Brought it out last month and put her through an MOT. Now this is where the fun starts, NOT!!!
When I first ride it there doesn't seem to be a big issue. But after riding for a couple of miles if I quickly open the throttle the bike judders like a misfire and will judder continuously through the rev range. Whilst it is juddering if I back off the throttle slightly and then open it up slowly it will more often than not be okay. But as soon as I try and do a quick increase it bogs down.
I experimented and found from a standing start if I gently eased the throttle up through the revs and gears it will operate as far as I can tell normally all the way to full throttle and redline (and illegal speeds). Also sitting in Neutral after the stuttering has started if I whang on the throttle there is a stutter at the start before it picks up. But same again if I open the throttle slowly it appears to rev ok.
After trawling through the forum and seeing what other people have done here is a list of what I've tried with no success so far :-

Replaced Plugs
Cut back 1/2" on Coil Leads and refitted Plug Caps (Screw and coil cable copper look good),
Removed tank and emptied old fuel out. Looked inside an tank base is clean as a whistle.
Removed Fuel Tap and checked filter.
Inspected K+N Filter
Visually checked fuel filter
Removed Carbs and removed Main Jets and the Metal Tube underneath it, Needle Jet? or Emulsion Tube?
Removed the other jet beside it. Pilot Jet?
All where clean with no signs of any contamination.
Inspected Inlet and Air Filter Box Rubbers. No obvious sign of cracks or perishing.
Reassembled everything and put a fresh couple of gallons of fuel in the tank.
Started pretty quickly but a few minutes into a test ride and the symptoms are back.
I haven't taken the top of the carbs off and checked the Diaphrams because I don't know what to check or what I'm looking for.
Would a dodgy fuel filter cause these issues. I have discounted this for the moment because I thought the fuel in the float bowls would initially keep the engine going and then it might fade later if the fuel filter couldn't keep up with demand.
Pump sounds ok when ignition switched on, it pulses away and seems to hold fuel pressure.
I'm getting to the limit of my Mechanical skills and am running out of ideas.
I was thinking of trying it with the baffle out to see if it makes any difference or buying an original paper air filter and refitting the original can.
But I think I'm clutching at straws because it ran fine with this set up last year.
Apologies for rambling on.
Any input extremely welcome.
Cheers

Only way he could of got that speed was as I came out of the corner and saw him a good 200 yards off n thwy got my detaild after I had gone past...oops :o

Hi im sick of having to wheel the bike around the garden trying to lube the chain with spray cans ahs anyone got a scottoiler hanging around they dont want cheap

Hi Folks. Hope you don't mind me hijacking your owners club. I have a 2003 FZS 600 Fazer which I  have owned for a couple of years. Love it. Would probably only swap it for it's bigger sister. But as is usual, Forums are found when owners have problems. I am unfortunately one that falls into that category. Hope to contribute in some small way with an exchange of info. Off to the FZS 600 Forum with my tale of woe which seems quite common. Cheers John.

The fairing around my indicator on the near side of front fairing is crap and looks horrible is there any general well-known fixes for this issue.  I think a round decal to stick around it would look good any suggestions.  Thank you
