Hi all,
I bought my Fazer a while ago, it had been standing for ages.
there was a fair bit wrong with it but I've sorted most things out.
There are 2 problems, not sure if they are related.
The bike doesnt like to idle, with the choke it's fine, without it'll idle for a few secs then sounds like it's gonna die, a few more secs and it usually does. The idle screw is as high as it will go. also if I pull the clutch in when I've got the choke on, then it revs loads (at about 5000 rpm)
So thats issue number one.
The second issue is when I'm riding along, If I slam open the throttle, the revs jump up high and then jump back down to where they should be and then the bike will accelerate. If I roll the throttle open real slow it doesn't happen, but as soon as I give it some it jumps. It doesnt matter where in the rev range I am or what gear I'm in it always happens, it's almost like I'm in neutral for a sec, then goes back to normal. Recently changed the chain and sprockets but it was doing this before that too.
Not sure where to start.
Any ideas?
Thanks
