Hi everyone,


A while ago I rebuilt my carb, since it was overflowing when engine was off (leaking into cylinder) and overflowing when running idle. As expected some of the rubbers were shot.

I used this set: http://www.ebay.de/itm/KR-Vergaser-Repar...2156361779


Since then, the carb is not leaking anymore, everything seemed fine.
However, now the engine hesitates between 2000 and 5000 rpm, especially near the 4000 rpm range. I've set the pilot screws as listed in the manual to 2 turns out.
But I remember when overhauling the carb, the screws were out less than 2 turns (rather 1 or 1.5).


In high rpm's or at high trottle positions everything runs great.
Things I've checked/done so far:
-checked the condition of the TPS (throttle sensor position) goes nicely to 5000 rpm, so it's OK
-replaced the spark plugs
-checked and rechecked the pilot screw settings (2 turns out)
-spraying water on the exhaust manifold when idling: they seem to be all quite at the same temperature
-reduce the pilot screw turns out (1 turn out instead of 2 turns out) on second cylinder no change notable


When I check the spark plugs, the spark plug on cylinder 2 looks realy black.
Spark plug 1, 3 and 4 look like this:



While spark plug no. 2 looks like this:



Any suggestions on what to do?
Open up the carb again and see if there is something wrong with the pilot screw of the second cylinder? Or could this be caused by anything else?

Thanks guys!

Just a couple of questions for now.

Can the gear shift lever be converted to race shift?

I have also found 2 cables dangling under the bike. Look like clutch cable type. Is this from the exup? if so will they need connecting to something?

Cheers.

Hi guy's n gals.

My name is Andy from Bexley in Kent.

After owning a few different bikes and currently own 4 Ducati's, I have bought an '05 Thousand for commuting and general everyday biking.

I will be posting in the help section no doubt, as I am not familiar with the Fazer. Although I do like to do my own spannering.

Hope to be a regular face on here.

  Me and two other bikes are of to le man's on Friday got digs about 1 hour drive from the track, any tips on driving in France appreciated, also anyone else on here going?

Just got a Garmin , does anyone know if you wire direct to battery there's two wires pos and neg fused, or should it be wired to ignition. I already have a USB charger but Sat nav must use the cradle. Thanks

anyone know the colour of the wire that feeds the digital display on a 2007 FZ1? mines got a break in it and the display works only when it feels like it!!! would really appreciate some help with this..... :'( :'(

Hello. im deano from norwich . i have a second gen naked FZ1....

ok, so i've had my fazer since 2011 and not put too many miles on it. i'm riding my versys all the time and the fazers been in a garage on sorn since 2013 and hasnt fired up since. it has new C&S, new tyres and is relatively low mileage. i have got a new battery somewhere so i'll try to start it in the next few days. it was running fine until i abandoned it!  it is completely standard and would make a good 'emerging classic' buy. i fancy building a fighter and this bike is too good to butcher, so i'm looking for a vfr750 preferably running to attack with my grinder. i'm not su[size=1em]re what to ask for it so i'm just seeing if there is any interest. ta. i would post some pics but photobucket aint copying for some reason.[/size]

:rolleyes  Errm hello, just bought a fifty thousand mile FZS600 year 99. I got the usual sales speak of very good cond ect and it all turned out to be crap, nice looker but i now need some advice. First the tyres are twelve years old and the rear as bald as a coot, any advice on good sticky rubber for this model? also does any other rear disc fit this model as i am finding new replacements very expensive. Fork seals are buggered as is all the pads and the carb to head rubbers are shot, fun isn't it? Anyway, as for tyres i want grip over wear so any advice would be much appreciated. Cheers.

Hello,


So one of the bolts holding the plastic stuff around the dashboard has the thread ruined and I have to replace it, but so far I have failed to find something similar. Can anyone tell me what to google for exactly? Or point me to a shop that might have it?
