nice sound but not to rattle the windows
straight fitment to 600

Hey guys. I hope all is well.


I am basically a dumbass when it comes to my bike. I've been a biker for just a few months, and I am curious about why my Fazer doesn't like being turned on any more. (Oooo-err)


Could this be the battery? The lights turn on, and the starter motor makes a noise, it just sometimes doesn't want to start.


Is it any of these?


1) The battery needs charging, and as a new biker, I don't realise I might have to take out the battery and charge it, cos I am unaware that the bike doesn't do it itself.


2) The battery might be as old as the bike (12 years) and I just need a new one.


3) The started motor is f***ed.


I cannot think of anything else it could be.


I have also read the stuff on batteries in hot poop, and also read the manual, and it doesn't really give me an answer.


Would be nice if someone could give me some advice, so I may not have to go to a garage and give them lots of money . . . .


Cheers!

One thing I have noticed is that my fazer8 runs up to temp quite quickly when standing in traffic - never had a temp guage in the old one, normal?

hi guys a quick question does a year 2003 fzs fazer have the same seat as a 1999 fzs fazer thanks

ok guys and gals, i have been reading the stuttering thread very closely and thought it time to ask for your help with my partners 600. if it was mine then i could just be patient and tinker whenever but its the bosses, so the clocks ticking  

ok very quick rundown on prob....bike starts on the button ( even cold ) , ticks over lovely. give it a good handful and it bogs and i mean bogs down so bad until throttle is released. tried a road test, bike will not under any circumstances lift above 4000 rpm giving a top speed at present of 50 mph...........just over scooter territory :eek . this is even gently easing the throttle open, no hope in hell of whacking it open. there is a definite stutter when throttle is eased open and hand is placed near end pipe. ok enough of symptoms for now quick rundown on what i have checked, replaced ect. bear with me. cheers
fuel system........new clean (?) fuel in tank. petcock filter clean. all fuel lines cleaned and compressed air blown through. new fuel filter. fuel pump tested and working correctly. carbs dismantled and cleaned thoroughly 4,yes,4 times. all spotless and adjusted correctly. ( 2 turns on pilot ) even tried those set at 3 turns out and up to 1 turn out. float heights all set in spec. no difference!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ignition.......tested right from pick up coil to spark plugs with multimeter. ( all resistance readings in coils (primary and secondary) circuits within spec). fitted new plugs. and plug caps. everything in theory is fine. even checked valves in desperation ( well inside spec only 11500 on clock ( 2000 bike ).
finally as last resort, even ran a seperate fuel supply from a bottle directly to carb rail ( bypassing pump and even filter ). still no difference whatsoever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so its over to you fellas for input pretty please.all suggestions greatfully received. already got the ak47 and sidewinders ready so dont include those !! thanks chaps. cheers Ade.......will try and get a vid up at some point. ( fingers crossed )

Hello again, I have finally got around to registering on the new website. I still have my fazer 600 and will be checking out the rideout section to hopefully meet up with some old faces and meet some new ones too.
I am in Nottingham and if anyone is interested in a run out anytime let me know ( i have a couple of decent local routes).
Cheers

Hello All

Long time - no speak.

My wife has just cried off ("ill"), so I've got a spare ticket for Jake Bugg tonight. It's a sold out gig at the Old Queens Head in Islington. Only seven quid!

Any takers?
