Hello all. I'm new here although I've had my FZS600 for a few years. She's currently in several pieces awaiting an engine overhaul, clean up and re-paint, I'm in the process of making a solo seat, (hopefully using the original plastic seat base and some fibre glass) and a separate fibre glass seat hump. So a bit of minor sub-frame butchery has been going on. I've removed the fairing, favouring a single headlight, which led me to move the ignition switch so I can mount the stock clocks nearer the top yoke. A few other new bits going on too - Nitron Shock. EBC front discs, new brake lines, fazer 1000 rear brake caliper. It's a bit of a slow burner, hopefully she'll be in one piece very soon!

:rolleyes Well here goes. Went to work yesteday and engine felt wee bit rough. Felt like chain needed tightening, but had been done previous week.
Finished work, fired bike up ,, no problems,, into first and off i go,, :eek :eek ,,,, felt like engine sprocket had came loose.
Very slow acceleration , noise still there going up gears. Cruising at 50 ish and felt ok.
Stop at junction,, oh no problems going down gears,, pulled away and felt like someting grinding,, only under pressure.
So far,, no play in rear wheel,, chain ok,, engine sprocket ok,, upgrade done on that some time ago. Tickover no noise. Goes through gears ok.
Thats as far as time will allow me till week end. Oh high millage on engine. And clutch done last year.
Any ideas very welcome. Wont get time now till sunday , but suggestion will be greatfull and followed.
Off to work, on four wheels :o :\ :\ .
oh,, couldnt tell which side noise coming from.

***UPDATE***
Fuses had blown. Fixed that and engine fired up and ran, but was hunting. Stopped and then fuel has been dumped from carbs to the overflow. Carbs need cleaning again.
[size=78%]Had a few problems with the bike after the carbs had been cleaned and engine was running well. This is the current state of play… [/size]
Switch ignition on, pumps fuel well and stops after a while (as it should). engine starts on the button but pump continue to pump even on tickover and doesn’t stop. If you cut or stall engine, the pump stops.
Any ideas on priority to check/ fix?
thanks in advance.

I’ve noticed that the carb rubbers are misaligned with the cylinder head internally!
Is this by design or did Yamaha just hung on bits from the parts bin?.. and has anyone found alternatives that fit better?
Cheers M
