Hope you guys can give me some ideas how to fix my bike Fazer 600, mark 1, 2000 reg


Last year I cleaned my bike with the engine running (due to previous issues with electrics on other bikes) and the fuel was lower that I thought.  Two days later I went to take the bike to get a rear tyre and the bike struggled to start and barley ride able.  Managed to get back from the tyre shop and clean the carbs up enough to get it working enough to go on my trip to Germany, Ok at motorway speeds but struggled on the lower speeds.


When I got back I gave the carbs to my mate who took them apart.  Said the Sliders/needles were a bit loose and could do with new ones.  Official replacements from Yamaha are worth half the cost of the bike and unable to find any kits that contain the jets etc but found a decent set of replacement carbs on ebay.  My mate has taken bits from both set of carbs and make the best we could into one set this has been sonic cleaned before reassembly.


Fitted the carbs but the pilots were not set to factory setting, balanced the carbs and the bike sounded back to normal.  While test driving it showed there was a problem.  Around 4.5 to 5000 rpm the bike struggles with acceleration and seems to stutter.  When you eventually get over the 5000rpm marker the bike takes off again.  This only happens when the bike warms up and you slowly accelerate.


If the bike is cold or you accelerate hard from a standing still there is no issue.  Talked to a few people and they advised just to ride the bike for around 500miles for the carb bits to bed in.  This made sense to me but I know the pilots were out.  Compared to what it was when I first had the problem is was certainly worth putting up with for the time being.


Finally had 5 mins to myself last weekend and the pilots had been playing on my mind, took the carbs off as I have no adjuster tool and reset the pilots to 2 turns out.  Put an inline fuel filter on as well as a back up to the original fuel filer and I can see if there is any issues with the fuel.  Balanced the carbs, all sounded good rev'd through the ranges etc.


Took it out last night.  Again when cold its like it was like before, accelerates through the previous problem of the stutter, fast and slow.... then the bike warms up and the issue is still there, plus a new one. 
When stopped at traffic the revs have started sticking at 2000 rpm,  I play with the rev adjuster on the carbs and it settles down again but this kept happening a few times.


Lastly when on tick over the rev counter pusles and bobs up and down a little.  Idle rev's sett to the manual.  This never happened before


Any ideas what to do next?


As the issue seems to be when the engine warms up is it now something with the engine as the carbs seem fine when its cold and when being rev'd in the garage.


A further note, the book says to set the carbs between 230 to 250mm but when I have balanced them and my mate has balanced them they only go to 125mm.  I can't see how to get them any where close the service manual's recommendation.


Penny for your thoughts, Ive looked at several forum notes and not sure what to do next.

I have a brand new pair of black  Sidi Vertigo boots .Size Euro 45.black.
In box unused .
Cost £225 in December.£175 ovno.
Reason for sale.
I got 2 pairs for Christmas.

[color=rgb(0, 0, 0)]So , I bought some oxford premium heated grips off e bay, still new in the box. These are the ones that are normally 70 or 80 quid, with better connections, and the V8i controller, offering 9 presets. I would have just got the ordinary fifty quidintelligent grips, but got these for the same money (unwanted subscription gift apparently). Duly fitted them to the xjr. Went to set off , and they didn't work, kept going into battery saving mode (the green light just keeps flashing then it turns itself off).I had me garbing heated underjacket on so it wasn't a prob, and nipped into Wales to meet Dynspud at a biker café. Getting home late afternoon, I checked everything over. Installation and connections were all good. From the limitd information on oxfords website, it seems unless the battery never dips below 12.4 volts, they should stay on. It also seems a lot of people have had this problem. I duly checked my battery, 12.8 v non running, 14.5 running with the revs up. I was still trawling through the yank threads late afternoon, and found one that mentioned being able to disable the battery saving feature. this involves holding down the positive and negative buttons for five secomds until the green light goes out. Tried it and it works. So now got heated grips, but gonna have to rewire them through a relay. And I learnt summat, which is always a good thing...[/color]

Hello Guys.
I need your opinion.
I need to replace my tyres. I am thinking of either the BT016 or BT023. I know the 16 is "grippier" and the 23 lasts longer. But for an ordinary street rider with a bike like ours, for some fun in turns, but not for sporty riding, would I be better with a 16, or the 23 is more than enough for the average rider/ride?
Thanks
Mike

The rear wheel on my 2001 model has seen better days. I was wondering if there are any newer / lighter / better looking rear wheels from other models R1/R6 that slot straight in ( disc / sprocket alignment issues ) or is it just easier to get mine powder coated and fit new bearings?? Thanks for input / thoughts / advice / abuse !!

Anyone fitted a gear position indicator and if you have where did you tap in to the loom?

Just bought this 2010 fz6 s2, and find it a little too high for my little legs, i have seen on ebay you can buy a part to lower it by 35mm.
Does this fit on the bottom of the shocker, if so does the bottom it just unscrew off, then screw the new one on.
