[freds bitch]

hi only by about 500 revs best way to describe it  say at 3000 she will go up to 3500 and then back down to 3000 like on a wave hope i explained it ok thanks

Balance the carbs and set the TPS. See if that resolves it

[freds bitch]

hi that`s the next step a friend can balance carbs next week TPS a bit of a mystery to me he should know ex mechanic will let you know bud

Check for intake air leaks, on both the manifold rubbers and the blanking caps on the stubs for the vacuum gauge on the manifold rubbers. Both can crack and cause issues. Spray WD40 on the rubbers to see if it settles

As for the TPS follow this:
Lift the tank locate the connector from the TPS.
Switch on the ignition, set the kill switch to run.
Disconnect the TPS connector and reconnect it.
Rev counter should go to 5000.
If it stays at 0 or goes to 10000, it is out of adjustment.
O will make the bike it feel dead 10000 will not and some set it to 10 as it advances the ignition slightly
To set it loosen the 2 Security Torx bolts on the TPS and move it until the rev counter reads 5000.
You can always try 10000  or the dynamic  setting later
Tighten the screws and start the bike or turn the ignition off.
Do not overtighten the torx bolts

I wondered what that little do-ikkie thing was hanging on the side of one of the carbs on my FZS600. Is it the same adjustment process for the baby FZS600. I purchased a set of dial gauges to balance the carbs and it a job to be done in a few weeks (suspension being my priority just now).


I'm a sad git I copy and paste useful info from foc-u into a Word document and am compiling a book of
'FOC-U HOW TO' for future reference.

hi just to let you know carbs now set helped a bit but still there as for tps she`s a 03 so i think a multi meter is needed set to witch craft or some thing

Procedure I outlined in my post above works for all Fazer, from the 97 400s right through to the 05 1000s.

If you cannot get it to set correctly than you most likely have a problem with the TPS and would need to replace it

[freds bitch]

hi unfazed will try that at week end hope your right as the haynes way is above my comfort zone cheer`s

Before my FZS1000 was Full-Monty-ed, that used to surge on light throtttle openings under load but just above tickover - one of the reasons, I wanted the carbs sorting. Awful throttle response for such a refined/civilised bike.
