Hi Guys,
I ALSO have a stuttering Fazer. I have been reading these threads, and to be honest, as a newbie biker, they don't make any sense to me cos I don't know what most of the things actually are.
Has anyone worked out why this is happening yet??
Mine has been in and out of the garage over the past 7 months with this problem, has had new air inlets, new seals, new rubber tube bits, and now, a new carb. STILL, bloody stutters, and I am running out of money.
I am tempted to sell, scrap etc etc cos I am at my wits end with this. It hasn't been a reliable bike and with only 26,000 on the clock I am incredibly disappointed.
Any advice (in basic newbie language) would be greatly appreciated. . . .
red!!!! quick?....you now have a triplet?? :eek .......he,l be along shortly mate!!  .....

welcome to the club..............
dont worry about the posts not making sense....they dont make sense to us either :rollin :rollin :rollin ........iam still struggling with my stutter and am 90% sure its a carb problem,if you`ve been reading the thread you will know what ive been doing to try to trace the fault.....ive rebuilt the carbs with some second hand items and this has made no difference also checked the electrics and found nothing wrong.......as your a newbie i can strongly recomend that you get yourself a haynes manual you can find them on ebay.....manual no 3702....
start a new thread describing the fault and also what you have already tried and we shall try to help 
One, is never going to be enough.....

i think your a little low with your estimate of £350/450....i would put another £100 on that,hard to tell without seeing the bike though....if hes thinking about your offer your not far away from what he wants and iam thinking this is still a good buy.......but...............the only thing we dont know is if the toerags who stole it have done any enging damage .........see what he says when he gets back to you and dont forget to let us know

Well, to add my 5 eggs or whatever, I can tell you now, I have just had a whole new set of carbs put in, so that may not be what is causing it.
I do have a haynes manual, however, all of that doesn't make any sense to me either, and I don't have a garage to leave a project half finished, cos I live in London.
I am going to be going to Oval Motorcycle Centre though.
If I find anything, I will let you know.
