Hi all,
Four months ago my '98 fazer died on me on the by pass doin about 80.
Fiddled with the choke an dropped down to 3rd and it picked up again but wasn't running quite right. managed to limp home 4 miles, by which time it it was back to normal.
No probs since then apart from tickover so, 3 weeks ago, took off the tank and drained off quite a bit of water. Cleaned thoroughly an flushed carbs out till they ran clear. Have had no trouble till today, when the same thing happened on the same by pass!
Got home again with the help of the choke and low and behold its now running 'normal' again.
However there is a bit of a missfire when revving steadily up to 7-8000 rpm and tickover is a little erratic, the rev counter fluctuating 9-1000 rpm.
Seems like a fuel issue but would be glad of any advice.
