2002 fazer

Ive changed the caps to NGKs six months ago, after the bike was running rough in the rain, and it sorted the problem.

Its now losing power again, it will pick up under hard acceleration, as if a cyl is kicking in under the vibration or somthing. generally, its bearable though.

the other day i hears a clicking sound, it seems to be coming from the near side cap, it doesnt always happen immediately, but after a short ride it clicks again.

i took lead off whilst it was running, and before it died , i heard a similar click, as the lead arced out.

Now im not 100 per cent sure the click is deffo that, but as i have problems in the rain, or after washing it, im thinking it may be worth changing the leads.

when i changed the plug caps last time, i snipped 10mm off the leads to get it to contact with clean metal. the leads are now a bit tighter, and they wont take another snipping.

The problem is, new yamaha coils/leads are pretty expensive . if i have to buy them ill accept it, but on every other bike ive had ive been able to buy the coils/leads caps seperately.

So, the question is, will another aftermarket coil fit on, thats not permanently attached to the lead? that way if im replacing leads, i dont have to replace the whole unit?

Also, if i did have to stick with fazer coils, and i went for used, would late model ones work on mine?  Its a bit of a risk buying 16 year old coils and leads as one unit id have thought....

Im not keen on the idea of the conversion that uses caps with integral coils, as im not great at wiring, and im not really that keen on the look of them either......

Thanks in advance for any info...

After looking at various other fazers, I've noticed my front discs are very different compared to all the others I've seen. Are these some sort of aftermarket replacement/improvement?

Hi all.
Pleased to reintroduce myself.
I'm in Plymouth and currently riding a 97' ZZR1100.
Determined to get back into using the bike this year.
Doing well so far, but the ZZR has reminded me of the bike I really want  :evil


Originally joined the site in 2015, but been a lurker since.
Didn't manage to afford a Gen 1 1000, but have been patiently waiting and biding my time and money...
I'm now lucky enough to be in a buying position in May , so having looked through the site and it's links (again!), I've been reassured that it's still the bike for me.
So,I'm in the market for an 'Ivanised' (F/M) Gen 1, with suspension mods too.
I'll post in the wanted section asap.

Does anyone no where to by these clock ring thingys??

I know  I know this is a fazer forum but you all seem to be knowledgeable foccers.
My brother has just bought himself a 1981 Kawasaki kmx 125 crosser to play around in the local quarries.
We are in the middle of stripping it down and doing it up cosmetically but given our combined ages come to less than 55 we have very little knowledge of the old 2 stroke engines haha.
We know about mixing the oil and fuel but what about the gearbox oil? Can we just use my spare silkolene super 10w40? Or does it have to be specific gearbox oil?
I figure it works in my gearbox so should work it that?

From the sound of my engine, what would you say the cause of the tick was? I was thinking valve clearance or cam chain adjuster.

Is it my imagination or do 600 Fazer prices seem to be creeping up recently?

Penny pinching here but has anyone used one of their shocks. Have read good reviews on their twin shocks, not just by owners, and have found one for the ZZR £50 less than a Hagon and like the Hagon it comes with a spring to suit your weight etc
