Hi all,


I got my FZS 600 a few years ago and in the first 2 years went from 25k to 60k mainly commuting, but, it's such a good allrounder...love the bike and it's run like a dream.  Unfortunately, about a year ago I was riding in some seriously heavy rain on the way to a mates and it started to bog down badly  and I was having to give it quite a lot of gas to even keep it running.  It got worse the further I went, made it to my mates and left it outside, but, then had to get the AA home. 
When I got home I tried to start it and it would start and run but was back firing and getting worse all the time. At one point you had to give it a handful to even keep it running and then it was backfiring alot and just trying to die. 
I felt the pipes and no.2 was cold...I then ran it only when testing things.  I put new plugs in, changed the coils although that would generally effect 2 cylinders not 1. I've tested most things and also Swapped out the CDI unit, installed a new Stator and pick up coil (I had a similar issue once on a GPZ900 and it was pick up coils).
I also tried to test the compression and it was low ish on all but then I wasn't able to warm it up, bu,t it was around the same level on each.  So I think that's probably fine.
The bike now won't start or run at all...it got that bad it just stopped.
I tend to think it's electrical as it seems ot have got worse over a period of time, but, can't think what else to check...
I do get a fairly healthy spark and have given the carbs a going over with cleaner and checked the diaphragm on No.2.  The Fuel pump sounds like it's priming fine too.
I tired to use some different petrol too, but, still won't start, she turns over nicely though and I even got her a new battery.


Any ideas on what else it could be?  I've searched on her and can't find anything that seems similar, Am I missing something?


Any ideas gratefully received

Hi all,

Cheers,


Andy

[size=1.45em]I am an American Fazer owner living here in Germany.  I bought this Fazer last year and had it delivered to me on the night of January 17, 2019.  The very next morning I was waiting with the bike so that I could get the appoval for my modifications.  Once I had that, I rode straight home and start cutting pieces off.  It was a simple and as fast as that.  I did do this in my garage in winter with a very small heater so the overall progress from delivery until "completion" actually took 34 days.  It was a great learning experience as I lerned that certain metalworking and painting aspects should be left to the professionals, but I did it anyway :p[/size]

Can anyone tell me how to cancel my membership of this forum. I am sick of reading posts dominated by a certain few dogmatic, bigoted members and no longer wish to be associated with this forum.

So, planning on doing some work on my bike, I'm looking through the list of instructions in Haynes.


Ok, do that?


No problems.


Unscrew this?


Simple.


Move that out the way?

Easy.


Remove the rear shock?


Piece of ca...

Hang on?


What?!  :eek

You could have mentioned that at the start, instead of casually chucking it in at about stage 8 of the process...!!
