(11-07-14, 08:36 AM)Ruby Racing link Wrote: As already suggested I'd look at the fuel petcock and the carbs. This is a common problem on one of my bikes, a Kawasaki ZRX1200R, where the fuel petcock seals fail allowing the fuel to flow freely when the engine is off. The fuel fills the carbs and then finds its way into the cylinders and then not to the engine oil. A complete oil drain is needed together with fixing the fuel petcock and carbs. Oh and it's not a good idea to try to start the motor as I believe you can get something called hydraulic lock in the engine, which basically cracks the block!
Having said all that I realise the ZRX fuel is gravity fed, whereas the Fazer has a fuel pump. So maybe the flow of fuel into the oil would be limited to the contents of a carburettor? Either way give the carbs a good clean out and check for worn parts.

Is it the same carb that's overflowing all the time? Or can't you tell?
On the center stand, Put clear plastic pipe onto the drain plugs of the carbs, tape them up so they run up the side of the carbs. Slacken off the drain screws and compare the levels. turn ignition on and you should hear the fuel pump click a couple of times as the carbs refill, check levels again
As long as you have not got any leaks, you can start the engine and see what happens aswell

Every time I turn the ignition on my 03 Fazer I hear this clicking going on, I didn't it was the fuel pump. So does that mean my carbs are leaking too? :o

[/quote] that's normal...just the carbs filling up......if they're empty youll get loads o clicks...if you just stopped and restarted then only a couple.
Re: Is it just ME - Buzz - 11-07-14
Yep, and if the bike has been left for a while then it's best to turn the key on an off a few times after the clicks have finished. The pump stops after a while so if the levels are really low then they still won't be full after the first turn.
