Is it ok to simply post my eBay link to this??  -
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/226029130177?m...media=COPY


Ignition control unit from (potentially) a 2002 fzs600
I got this from eBay a couple weeks ago, it was listed as a 2002 but I have no idea if they fit other models/years.
I never fit it to the bike or tested it at all so it's still sat in the box it came in.


Great condition to be honest, no cracks or anything.
Selling for what I paid for it.

With a 1.5hour wait on Monday for my wife  who was at a physio appointment, I headed for a coffee in the shopping centre and took a look at the magazines in Easons Book shop first. The magazine that caught my attention was Classic Motorcycle Mechanics because it had a picture of a yellow FZS1000S on the cover, thumbed through it and bought it. Into the cafe and settled down with my coffee to read the article.
The bike they used for the test was a yellow 20003 S model with 10,000 miles, looking like it came out of the showroom totally standard.
A good article, but didn't tell me anything I didn't all ready know and the article contributors loved it.
Definitely worth a read if you have not already done so.

Ive read through a couple of threads here. very informative but Im partly confused.
I picked up the fazer as a spare engine for my 02 R1 track bike, only difference tuning and carbed against the Fi R1.


,the bike was stood for a couple of years had some rust in the tank which Ive cleaned out and had two filters, now just the one. Carbs had been off and cleaned.
The bike will cut out after standing for 10 mins or on a short ride. Will then start right up again, straight away.


The ECU is cool, the battery gets 14.5v dropping to 13.5 with all lights on  and heated grips. BUT, the fan cuts in after 30 seconds, the motor isnt warm yet and the voltage then drops just below 13v.
could the fan sensor be faulty? would that cause the engine to cut?

from the former Avon tyres home.
new here, recently picked up a Fazer thou 2002 . looking for a bit of advice  as have a few too many projects on the go.
riding for 50 years , slimming down collection now on the rise again
Fazer 1000, R1 track bike, Laverda 750, ZX750 and BSA A50 chop.

I use my FZS 600 '99 for commuting daily and recently it developed a problem with a noise coming from the right hand side of the engine. I only notice this sound when the bike is started from cold, and the sound reminds me of a tractor: clattering like. It doesn't happen all the time, and is faint. Comes and goes. Not constant.


I first noticed it/it started happening after I washed the bike with a hose pipe and then used the Bruhl dryer straight after and then started the bike to remove any remaining droplets of water. The engine temp light came on, and the bike sounded rough. The first few rides after that were very bumpy, and the bike ran rough for the first mile or so (juddering, low on power, surging and then perfectly fine after about 3k). I drained some fuel out of the float bowel and it was clear and smelt of petrol, thinking I'd gotten water in the carbs or suchlike. I've not done anything other in that side of things.


A week later the bike starts fine and starts first time, I've changed the spark plugs and that helped but the noise is still there and the bike is still low on power from cold occasionally (not every single time) sounds like it wants to die and sometimes tries to but doesn't and keeps running. Its nowhere near as bad. Seems like an intermittent issue. When it plays up it goes through a phase and then suddenly everything is fine power wise and it runs normal. Always below 3k and in first (not noticed an issue in other gears). Runs fine, reaches 70 mph etc perfectly fine. Goes to the rev limiter. No stutter on throttle input.


Before I ask the shop to take a look what can I do. HT leads, coil pack, air filter?

Hello, I'm looking for 2 tubes of MK1 600. Does anyone know a reputable address to recommend? Thank

Hello


Bike has been off the road for 18 months, finally managed to solve a leaky carb issue and rebuilt the bike. Had a leak on the tank valve, so emptied the tank and put in some fresh petrol when I changed it out.


Bike started, ran on 4 cylinders for a while, and now is down to the left 2? Seems to be running quite rich as well, I can smell the petrol as its running.


Any suggestions? Would very much like to get it back on the road and MOT'd soon, ready for the summer.


Thanks in advance

Does the gen 1 use JIS screws? I’ve managed to confuse myself????

I’m thinking of replacing all the visible fairing and side panel bolts/screws.


Do I go via Fowlers or has anyone got any better suggestions?

Looking forward to getting back on the bike again (if it ever stops raining) so it’s time for the old oil change/exup valve maintenance.


One thing I was looking to do was the carb balancing.
This reminded me of the last time I did it and one of the metal stubs that the carb balancer pipes attached to came out of the rubber inlet stub.
I used some loctite to hold it in place but was wary of doing anything more in case I did more damage.
Anyone have any suggestions for a permanent fix?
