Hello,
When driving on a 1st gear at about 5k rpms the engine is cutting out. On 2nd gear I think it was fine going over 5k rpms.
What could be the issue? TPS ? CDI ? or something else.
It's cutting out the engine at 5k and after it drops to 1k, it starts again with an exhaust backfire. Scared a few people by doing that


Will do a few more tests tomorrow.

I’m trying to work out if my water pump or thermostat are ok.
Took it out for a blast and left it running a while but the fan doesn’t kick in.
How often does the fan come on if left idle usually?
Cheers.

So the centre stand on my bike will only spring up if someone yanks the bike from the back.
It’s not technique honest my mate has an fzs and his is easy.
I removed the stand and it seem straight and in decent order so I painted it and put it back greased up with lithium and its the same.
The bike is not lowered so Im wondering if it’s actually off a 1000cc fzs so a bit too big.
Does anybody have the correct measurements for a 600 stand from top to bottom so I can work it out please?


Much obliged for any help.

Hi All,

I'm noticing more and more new bikes that seems to be running the front amber turn signal lights as "always on" running lights.

So I am in the process of fitting new bulbs and holders to my FZS1000. I considered doing something clever with relays etc, but in the end am planning just to fit 21W/5W bulbs, and have the 5W light permanently on, being powered from a feed off the nearby existing side-lights which are part of the main headlight unit. The 21W light will continue to function as regular indicator. Both will share the same earth lead for the negative return.

Does anyone know if this is road legal?  On testing there is still a distinct flash coming from the 21W element which can be seen clearly over the always on 5W element.  It is the same solution as the Fazers's rear lights that run 5W tail-lights and 21W brake lights in the same bulb.

Any thoughts?

Fazer Simon.
