Re: stuttering fzs 600 - CRH - 30-06-12
bet you cant wait to get it sorted can you?...i just hope one of those ideas work for you?....i was seriously thinking of selling me foxeye and putting some of the money t,ward getting the thou fixed up?...but with it being a one owner and only 6k on clock, and in mint cond! had second thoughts?....i would miss it to much!!!....i picked up a front wheel ,discs, tyre, for thou last wk, £75.00, ...so bit by bit ile soon have everything to rebuild it!!... :rolleyes
Re: stuttering fzs 600 - red98 - 01-07-12
same as you matey....if i sold the 600 i would deffo miss it :'( ....one to keep me thinks
....iam using the thou to get to work and back....5 miles across town all stop/start filtering etc,the 600 was very good at this 
,the thou a bit heavy :\ ,which is probably why iam missing it,pulled up next to identical thou in town yesterday,got chatting,as you do,guy has some standard bars somewhere and will sort them out for me,top man,as well as the bars being too wide iam not happy with the grips,heated grips and not very "grippy" :rolleyes also i think the diameter is a lot bigger,on a rough/potholed road (all of them :\ ) iam loosing/slipping my grip :\ ,not changed the can yet.....well done on that parts haul CRH and a great price .dont forget to keep us updated

Re: stuttering fzs 600 - darrsi - 05-08-12
I had a stutter on mine after a bit of work and it was caused by the 2nd inlet rubber in that had folded in on itself when being reassembled, so you couldn't even see it until eventually i had it into a different shop and they spotted it when taking the carbs off. :rolleyes

Re: stuttering fzs 600 - red98 - 06-08-12
bike booked in for MOT at 3.00pm today.....just given it a quick check over and noticed i need a new side light bulb,will get that on way to mot.....will post outcome later
Re: stuttering fzs 600 - markbubble - 06-08-12
if the ht lead is damaged or needs replacing it can be done with sealed coils by getting a lead jointer,its much cheaper than getting new coils !

yes i was aware of that.used a lot on moto-x bikes me thinks.....but mostly likely to fail on the joint between the two items,the one you cant get to :rolleyes ..........good tip though
Re: stuttering fzs 600 - red98 - 06-08-12
good news...passed the mot today with two near misses.....front tyre (which i new about) and worn chain which is a bit of a shame as only half way on the adjusters
a fair mot man that ive not used before but known for a few years.......PGB MOTORCYCLES LTD based in high wycombe bucks....will be using him again.
quizzed him about the stutter and told him everything ive done....he suggested changing the generator as the only thing i hav`nt touched in the sparks dept...........anyone had any troubles with there geni ?
Re: stuttering fzs 600 - darrsi - 07-08-12
It'll pass the MOT without solving your problem, 'cos it's not really part of the process.
Have a quick butchers at the inlet rubbers anyway, 'cos from what you said if the previous ones were split, then you replaced it/them, but possibly had my issue with them not being seated properly, then you would have exactly the same symptoms.
Bloody unlucky, but shite happens!
Just a thought, but worth proving me wrong anyway....... and everyone loves proving me wrong :lol

hi darrsi......i needed to mot it so i could test ride the bike....starting the bike on the centre stand and revving it.ie not under load,you cant see/hear the stutter....as you know ive had the carbs off a number of times now and although its a bit tight getting them on and off i took my time and gently eased them in.....ive got a few more things to check and if that fails i`ll be back to the carbs again.......thanks for your input matey

morning CRH...going to try your suggestions,now the bikes mot`ed i can test ride......spending some time on the thou today but will be back on the 600 tommorow.....off shopping for some new tools this morning .....yipeeeeeeeee
Re: stuttering fzs 600 - darrsi - 07-08-12
CRH you're a harsh man....... :lol
The worst thing for me was that i took my bike back about 4 times over a couple of weeks, and had 3 mechanics test ride it but they all refused to acknowledge there was any problem, yet whenever i tried overtaking anyone my bike sounded like a chronic asthmatic on 40 fags a day, and seeing as i'm on the bike nearly every day you can imagine i was getting a tad pee'd off 'cos i know every tiny sound that's out of place with it!
Took it to a tune up place in the end and as i asked for a carb overhaul he spotted it rather quickly and brought in the offending inlet rubber to show me. It was literally folded in half on one side, and had then been done up.
I appreciate people make innocent mistakes, but i would've at least expected them to feel and hear it when riding it, bearing in mind one of them races bikes. :rolleyes
Re: stuttering fzs 600 - CRH - 07-08-12
your right darss?...it does piss you off when you know there,s a fault..then to be looked upon as if your a plank!!..think half the time they either cant be arsed or they just dont feel there,s enough money in it for them to sort your probs?...i personaly dont bother with them!! if it does take me extra time to sort sumat out ? so be it!!...i defo wont be paying there hourly rates!! :rolleyes ....been into bikes since i was 14 and now 57....bet ive f,got more than some of them know now?..... :lol ......
Re: stuttering fzs 600 - bootz76 - 07-08-12
upon taking my tank up to get resrayed i tried to drain the fuel out about a gallon,however switching the tap to on fuel ran freely for about a minute then stopped switching between off and on and fuel would flow for a while and stop again.it would flow for various amounts off time before stopping.now my fazer has had an intermitant missfire for a while now so im thinking me taps fooked wemoto do a tap repair kit for £14 or a complete new one from yamaha is £25 think im gonna splash out for a new one.no crap in filter but gonna check inside tank when i take old tap off. just another thing for red to check :\ :\
