Strange Rattle

[Yamazer-92]

Thanks for all of the advice guys, I am sure at least one of these ideas will sort the problem. For starters I will let it rev a bit higher, I sound like a panzy riding it round at tickover all the time haha when I do give it plenty of good runs, just around town it feels a bit odd having it reving at 4k I think as it sounds like it's trying harder than it actually is if that makes sense? My Dad mentioned something similar when we swapped bikes, he thought it was revving high by ear when it was actually at like 4k revs, although he has an SV so isnt used to having a powerband  :lol


Unfazed, I just researched pinking and it sounds like you have it spot on. I will still balance the carbs etc soon though and use the STP stuff and the throttle position sensor adjustment as it can't hurt, we had to fiddle about with the carbs when we removed my restrictors a few months back so likely nudged something out.


Packie, yeah I did like the GS for its commuting ease, that was where it was strong even up to 70mph but then fell hard on its ass. I loved that bike though, MCN slagged it off good and proper, likely comparing it's 2 star rating to something like a Ducati 1098 like they like to do. For what it was, it was a great bike I just physically didn't fit on it very well as I am 6'4 and have ridiculous bionicle legs which were too long for the tank indents, still got the bike for free off my dad and made a big profit on it    Obviously it has nothing on the Fazer though.

I know, i thought of using a slightly thicker oil to try and alleviate the problem.
When the tickover is working properly the stiching can be absolutely fabulous....... 

Hmmm, a 600cc sewing machine, now that would be impressive!
