Evening? Morning more like!
I'm going to fit pods too. My guess is that not many have actually fitted pods to the Fazer and of those that have, how many have got it on a dyno to sort it out properly? Whilst I have no real experience, other than the pod filters on my ZRX (which work brilliantly), I don't see why they can't work well. On the ZRX the important thing to do was to make sure that two rubber tubes that attach to the carbs had their open ends well out of the air flow and sitting in still air. If they weren't then this could cause running problems.
The only information I found on line (probably from this site somewhere) was the following post:
hi just in case anyone is interested. pod filters ( cone filters) on a fazer 600 98 model caused running lean when accelerating on my bike. this fixed it.
change the jets from 115s to 125s on carb 1 and 4. and 127.5s on carb 2 and 3.also raise all four needles to the fourth groove down. problem gone.
sygma racing helped me , they are superb but very slightly expensive ( but your paying for there expertise).
Once I've got my rear end finished and the bike rolling again, I'll be moving on to the exhaust system and the carbs. So probably a couple of months down the line yet.
You could try calling the guy at Burra Motor Repairs in the Shetland Islands as he built one with pods. I spoke to him about the speedo sensor issue and he didn't have a problem with his non OE speedo: http://www.bikepics.com/members/burra/
Also try Dog London as they fitted pods too: http://streetfighterbikes.blogspot.com/2...zer-6.html There is an email address for them at the bottom of their page.
Let us know how you get on.
