  loss of power at 6000 and then 10000 rpm
Posted by: multiplicity - 02-12-11, 03:02 PM - Forum: FZ6 / FZ6 Fazer - Replies (4)

Basically, in 1st gear when I hit roughly 6000 rpm the [size=100%][/size][size=inherit]engine[/size][size=100%][/size]/exhaust starts making a 'duel noise'  - the engine sounds like it's starting to strain. Then at 10000 rpm the bike loses [size=100%][/color][/size][size=inherit]power[/size][size=100%][/size] and actually starts to slow down!! It feels like a massive dip in power. Anyone any ideas please?

  Sprockets and stuff
Posted by: 1967fazer - 02-12-11, 02:29 PM - Forum: Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner - Replies (11)

Can anyone tell me the standard sizes are for the front and rear sprockets on a 5lv and also if its best to change the front or the rear? I think some one mentioned having to fit a speedo corrector thingy when you put different sized sprockets on, is this correct?

  What's going wrong with my chain wear
Posted by: fazer6868 - 01-12-11, 08:17 PM - Forum: Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner - Replies (10)

Hi,

My gen 1 has a paltry 130k miles on it and so far rear chains have averaged out at about 40k each albeit with front sprocket changes around 12k and rears 20k.

I have had various makes.

This year i bought the most expensive one yet at around £160 for a tsubaki 4160 ha sgx sigma sealed x ring gold chain plus renthal sprockets, the rear being a ' hard anodised ' version.

The rear sprocket is a lightweight one.

The problem is that i am constantly adjusting the chain and have been since day 1 and it is beginning to seem shagged at only 11k miles!

Variables here are;

  • 1st time purchase of a tsubaki chain
  • 1st time with these type of sprockets
  • 1st time purchased from ' Intobikes'
  • 1st time i have fitted chain and sprockets myself( have previously fitted sprockets only).
Any ideas please why chain wear out of line with 3 previous ones?

Well been on here snooping around a while..

I have been riding bike for a few years now.. mainly fully faired bikes.. ZX7r's, breif spell on a CBR600f, YZF750's, then ZX9's, built a nice street fighter..

Then went fully faired..

Now gone and got myself a wicked Fazer1000.. silver Gen1... 50k miles on an 02 plate.. it needs sprucing up a bit.. p/o had it to commute into London for 9 yrs.. kept outside, home and work, and only occasionally hosed down..

Had a bit of a drama getting it home though...

Wheels powdercoated - Pristine wheels in Woburn (where i had my blue 9r ons done, superb job)
New wheel bearings

Well hope to chat to you all
Ride safe
