Every time after finishing a ride, if it's passed more than 15min, when I turn to ignition, the pump starts working but shouldn't. You can hear it clicking several times. Then the engine starts (with difficulty) and when it starts you can smell the gasoline.

My mechanic serviced the carburetor recently and changed some rubber seals, for which he suspected could be causing the trouble. For a few days the bike was starting normally and pump wouldn't click after a ride, but now it started clicking again and starts with a difficulty again 
What could be causing this ?

On my commute to work this morning I noticed a loss of power at low revs, put it down to the wet weather and the fact that I'd let the fuel run down to the bottom line of gauge.  :o  Got a full tank of fuel on the way home and the bike has been drying in the sun all afternoon. Unfortunately the problem is still there, however the bike still seems to rev freely in neutral. Desperate measures- a smear of silicone around the cracks on the card rubbers and I've even cleaned the air filter, lots of dead flies in there, the k&N filter is now drying in the oven. I only wish the wife was as filthy as that oven. Anyway fingers crossed. If this don't work, any ideas of what to try next?

Hi folks

Need to sell my FZ1-S ABS.

Owned it for two years, had intended to keep it forever, but sadly I have to sell it.

After about £3,950 for it. Would consider an old Fazer 600 + cash (to me). 

17,200 miles

New MOT (well, a few weeks old).

The bike is white - will get some pics up ASAP, hopefully tonight.

Has all three keys, usual paperwork, history, etc.

Nearly new battery, rear tyre, front pads, oil/filter & plugs. Probably no more than about 250 miles on them all. Plenty of wear left on front tyre. PR4s front and rear.

R&G crash bungs, fork sliders/protection, bar end sliders & swing arm sliders/protection, heated grips, bar risers, Fuel exhaust. Will also chuck in a spare (part worn, repaired) rear tyre & a tail tidy (if I can find it).

Few other bits and bobs recently done.

Has some fairly minor parking blemishes etc from scooter riding wankers (& one Harley) who can't park properly.

Bike is located in Herts.

PM me if interested.

Happy Birthday to me, day off and it's focin raining - blaaargghhh :wall

Think they made a mistake....No Fazer http://www.visordown.com/motorcycle-top-...-yamahas-1

Screwed up my poor Fazer again. Doing a track day over in Folembray, France and balls it all up on the last session pushing it too hard and ran out of skills. Video of action here:

Too wide on one bend, kissed the grass and threw me all out of shape for next chicane. Was on grass when I should have been doing me braking, chap overtook my inside and going spot fast, whole combination just messed me up, bottled it and decided to just run off. But was going too fast to keep it up right on grass. Doh! Bike went down, I just went sliding and came to rest sat on my ass - thankfully no injuries.


Straightened forks, bodged front back together with duct tape and cable ties and rode bike home (though Autoroute at 80-90mph was hard work with no fairing or screen!). Fairing shattered into loads of pieces. Fairing bracket super bent and about to snap now we pushed it back. Light cluster in one piece but lost many mounting lugs. Clocks took a bash, fuel gauge no longer works. Mirrors and screen intact. Small scuff to tank and can. Crash bars protected engine, and Renthal look straight still.


Now I've a dilemma as what to do next, do I:

1. Patch it up: combination of new fairing, bracket, possibly lights, clocks, plus whatever 2nd hand parts I can find. Reckon about £700-800.
   
2. Street fighter it, big single light on front, faff about trying to mount clocks to yoke etc. Prob about £200-300 odd plus time and faff (I don't have fabrication skills or tools).
   
3. Stick it on ebay and hope to get £400-500 spares and repairs, plus sell off choice bits separately. Then get another bike.
